The purpose of the review was to deepen CRS’ understanding of:
1. Which project activities and practices communities believed contributed
most significantly to strengthening their resilience and which did not.
2. Whether the community continued to engage in project-promoted
activities after a project had ended, and why.
3. What project activities were abandoned after a project had ended and why.
4. How local government representatives perceived the resilience of the
community after a project had ended.
