Savings Groups are simple, transparent, autonomous and locally run. Members of savings groups save together lend their savings to each other and share the profits. Members provide their own savings and credit services at negligible cost, while retaining earnings and investment in their own communities.

Village Savings and Loan programs work by focusing on the resources, initiative, accountability and social support that are present in vulnerable communities. Instead of waiting for money from the outside to begin their work, groups of 15-25 members make weekly savings deposits into a group fund.

They manage the fund themselves, make decisions about who can receive loans and what the terms are, and hold each other accountable for the repayment of their loans. Group members need each other to be successful and repay the loans so money is then available for themselves and other members in new rounds of lending. This kind of accountability leads to very high repayment rates.

The purpose of grant writing is to convince an organization or person to fund your proposal. Taking the time to properly plan and research before you begin will make writing the grant more efficient and organized.

Overview

Our world today is experiencing frequent and often more serious disasters which threaten to reverse the many development gains achieved over decades. The Community Managed Disaster Risk Reduction (CMDRR) framework helps show the links between development and disaster. CMDRR relies on fundamental recognition that the communities affected by these hazards also have the solutions. It engages communities in identification, analysis, monitoring and evaluation of risks to reduce people’s vulnerabilities and enhance their capacities.

While it may not be possible to completely stop the occurrences of natural hazards, communities, governments and local institutions can work together to prevent hazards caused by humans, reduce risks to disasters, mitigate or manage when disasters do occur and minimize their effects on lives and livelihoods.  

Since the CMDRR paradigm warrants a facilitation role, the lack of capacity amongst development practitioners to play this role is a major constraint in the application of CMDRR concepts
