In order to achieve the first outcome of reducing the risks of landslide and rate of soil erosion, retaining walls totaling 370m2 were to be built and stairways covering 250m2 were to be renovated during the project. By December 2014, 324.15 m2 of ( ... )
ing wall had been built. A stone faced wall of 70m2 was not built, due to lack of funds. Permission was obtained to build a smaller wall of 20m2 instead. Works on renovating the staircases had not started primarily due to lack of funds. Therefore, in order to achieve this outcome, additional funds are needed.
Furthermore, in order to increase awareness about climate change, 2 sensitization
