4.The final and detailed project proposal will be developed jointly with the local community and presented to UNDP/CBA.
5.The vulnerability reduction assessment will be performed by the example of projected scenarios in view of potential changes in the pasture productivity under the conditions of increased aridity, increased number of restored wells and expansion of the grazing area per a unit of cattle.
