Dear all
Please see the link below to a post by Gia from Save the Children Vietnam on the iied website. The post is about the project that won the solidarity grant (best project visited - out of eight around the country) at the recent 6th International community-based adaptation conference.
Congratulations to Gia for generating such great publicity for the project (and to Nidhi for helping out with the post)
Best,
Paul

Dear Suzanne,
Sorry to reply you late, I have just been back to the office after a field trip.
To my surprise, it looks like you could read my mind. OK the things you edited, with additional comments of Paul and Nidhi is very good. This is the cash prize, the idea for the kitchen garden and Paul's input " The grant will also be used to purchase prizes for community contests on developing kitchen gardens based on the school model. It is hoped the prizes will promote behaviour change and increase the community's resilience to future impacts"
It is very interesting and I Totally agree.
Best regards

Thanks - most of these edits are clear except for the edit on prizes. What prizes? Cash prizes? Promoting behaviour change is vague - it needs to be specified or removed and given that this hasn't been mentioned (in the context of the gardens). I assume that you're referring to changing behaviours to build climate resilience, such as setting up other market gardens so I would suggest the following rewrite of that sentence:
The grant will also be used to purchase cash prizes to reward community contest winners who have developed kitchen gardens based on the school's model. It is hoped the prizes will increase the community's resilience to future climate impacts and encourage others to set up their own gardens.
Is that correct Paul?
As you can imagine, it will be difficult to incorporate feedback from you all. Gia - any further feedback?
Thanks

See attached the reworked the blog. I have used the information you've provided Gia, but I have reworked it and restructured it. (As an aside, I used to be a writer/ editor and later a web editor for Save the Children in London, so am quite familiar with its work on DRR and other things:)
A few notes on key changes below:
-the introduction doesn't need to provide background on the conference as this has been done elsewhere - we will just link to the page for further information
-the focus of the blog is now entirely on the project, the work with the children and the solidarity grant - a focussed approach works better for a blog
-for this reason, I have lost the references to the child-related presentations made at the conference, which aren't really relevant and would have to be part of a different blog, I think
-I have said that the extreme weather events are likely due to climate change
I think the photos you provided are very strong - I will run two of them (of the children carrying out the drill etc,) It would be good, however, to have high quality images so I can run them bigger for more impact.
Could you send me one/ two high resolution images (to avoid clogging my inbox). The two that I think are strongest are the ones (titled in your original copy as 'land slide evacuation drill' and 'children in Hong Ca practice rescue' (around 600 pixels wide)?
I have highlighted things I didn't understand or that need clarifying in yellow.
Would you be able to check this over and, if happy with it, let me know.
This will be published as a guest blog in your name so please provide your title etc,
If you can get back to me tomorrow on all this then we could publish it out then.
Thanks
Suzanne

Many thanks Gia for putting this together! This looks great.
Mike - I hope you are able to pull out the relevant bits and pieces for your blog. If you wanted more details on the specific DIPECHO project information (funding, duration etc and ongoing work), I am sure Gia will be able to support you with the same.
Also will like to flag key reasons (in my view) why the project may have been selected (something to be confirmed with CBA6 organisers - Hannah and Corinne):
* There was a consensus among field trip participants that the school-based DRR and CCA project has delivered very impressive outcomes for young school-going children in an ethnic minority and marginalized community. Further the project has raised the awareness of the wider community at large both through its IEC and communication initiatives and through peer-to-peer interactions as children have shared the learnings with friends and parents, as confirmed with community households during the visit. Teachers and students in the project visited seemed extremely motivated and on and could continue in the absence of the actual project. The landslide safety drill by students as well as the folk theatre performance in the school present a testimonty on the excellent teacher and student engagement.
* The project offered a strong potential for embedding add-on components through the solidarity grant which can enable children, teachers and school to be actively engaged in the school on an extra-curricular activity (for e.g. kitchen gardening in the school compound) that can build the agency of children, address nutrition outcomes, help them be environmentally conscious adults and provide a platform for community engagement. Children can also bring a strong accountability mechanism to the process and they can be engaged in reviewing how well the project is performing, alongside department of education officials who are engaged actively with the school DRR initiative on a regular basis.
Thanks everyone. Looking forward to see the blog.
Best,
Nidhi

Please find a document for the blog, at this draft, it is a bit longer than one page, but I am sure you can edit to make it shorter

Hi Gia,
Please see below the request from IIED to do a blog for the solidarity grant (that needs to go on their website next week). It should include very briefly:
* Background on CBA6
* Project summary
* Photos
* Site visit background
* Quick comparison on why this site was selected vis--a-vis FAO based on the site visit recommendations document
* Links of videos / interviews..
Are you able to help to write this up and share with Mike (no more than a page)? I am under pressure with some deadlines next week and have my head-in. Do not want to delay the publishing of the blog. Thanks so much for your help
Mike - if you could add in a paragraph on the principles, selection process and methodology, do some finishing touches, and liaise with Suzanne - would be great!
Many thanks,
Nidhi

Subject: RE: CBA Solidarity Award
Generally I don't write blogs for other organisations/ individuals. They are generally written by them and then I edit them to get them into shape before publishing. This is due to limitations on the time and resources I can give to any one project.
I have just finished a storify of the social media coverage, which includes some tweets on the the winning prize: http://www.iied.org/blogs/cba6-tweet-by-tweet-and-blog-by-blog
That's taken 1 day and that will be as much time as I can give to CBA6, I'm afraid, given that our new site is going live in a week.
Nidhi: If you would like to write a short blog with a short summary on the project with one or two photos attached then I can edit it - I'd be happy to do so. Likely this is something that Save the Children will want to publish at your end as well? I'm happy to work with Andy Jacques who I obviously worked with closely when I was at Save. (If he's editing it then I'm happy to run it once it's gone through him/ Laura Kennedy etc,). If you would like me to edit something could you let me know when you're planning on sending in, so I can book some time out to edit it.
Thanks
Suzanne

Hi Mike, Suzanne,
Sounds great - thanks. I am attaching here all supporting resources for you to put together the IIED blog.
The link for the photos for the field site (please download soon before this expires): https://www.yousendit.com/download/M3Brc2ZPZ2pQb0t4djhUQw
I am also copying in my colleague Gia from SC Vietnam who is leading on putting in a brief internal note on the solidarity grant for Save the Children so that he can send this to you when this is finalized so you can pull out some bits and pieces. He can also share with you the finalized site visit brief.
Please also see the Video, broadcasted by Yen Bai province on the field visit of the CBA6 participants at: http://yenbaitv.org.vn/video/vn/thoi-su-chinh-tri/cong-dong-the-gioi-thich-ung-voi-bien-doi-khi-hau-tham-va-lam-viec-tai-xa-hong-ca-huyen-tran-yen.html#play

Hi Saleem
I've returned to a mountain of work and have 4 more press releases to finish in the next few days.
I think it might work better (and be less stressful for me and Nidhi :)) if I do a general roundup press release for CBA6 today (including a mention of the Solidarity Award) and then we do photo story about the winning field site on the IIED blog (maybe next week). I have copied Suzanne in here to see what she thinks of that idea (Nidhi - Suzanne is our social media manager and blog editor).
Best wishes
Mike

Thanks Saleem - Great plan to develop the announcement note for the CBA6 website.
Hi Mike (Sorry met only fleetingly in Hanoi in a dark video room!!) .
Would you be able to make a start using all the pictures, site visit brief, the detailed field visit recommendations, solidarity grant scoresheet submitted by our team in consultation with the wider group over the last week?
Happy to look through a draft and finalize. I have a rather full in-tray back into the office this week so my inputs might be a bit brief - apologies in advance!
Thanks,
Nidhi

Mike and nidhi,
Could we develop a short "announcement" for the CBA Solidarity Award for distribution (and to put on the website)?
It should have something on CBA6 and the principles and methodology of the selection criteria and process and then something on the project itself (with some nice photos).
What do you think?
