The primary data were collected using different methods of thesocial survey, while the secondary data were collected from the archives of theForest National Corporation (annual reports and files) and Practical ActionOrganization's documents (baseline survey and quarterly reports) .The main findings of the research were ; the initiatives of the local people to beinvolved in the project activities came from the staff of the Practical Actionorganization. Few respondents were consulted during the planning phase of theproject. Fluctuation of rainfall was the main climatic factor that affectedresilience of the local communities followed by frequent drought cycles. Themain impacts of climate change were the prevalence of acute poverty in the studyarea. Moreover, agricultural production and animal rearing, which represents themain sources of income, were highly affected by climate change. Adaptationof the local communities to climate change is represented in adoption of newcrops (quick maturing varieties) and adoption of terraces intervention. Differentdesigns of terraces were introduced by Practical Action Organization as amodification of the traditional terrace which is autonomous (locally driven).Different factors attributed to the low level of adoption of the new terracesdesigns. To enhance resilience of local communities, the project provided thelocal communities with the necessary inputs (equipment and simple tools for theconstruction of the terrace) besides intensive awareness campaign. Despite thepotential assistance provided by the organization, still the participation of theivlocal communities in the project activities lag far behind expectations.
