Abstract
This paper has applied participatory tools to assess the livelihood resources and adaptations in Madi Valley, Nepal. It has utilized the social, economic, and environmental aspects of the identified adaptations through participatory scoring (1 to 5) for participatory cost-benefit (PCB) analysis. Additionally, it considered gender equality, technical feasibility, inclusiveness, future vulnerability for multi-criteria assessment (MCA). Series of focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted to generate data based on communities’ perceptions. Based on PCB ratio, afforestation was the most prominent adaptation strategy, whereas early warning siren and evacuation tower (EWSET) was found the most effective adaptation based on the MCA.
