(segmented by poverty rate) Risk to human life, Risk to built assets, Risk to natural assets, Local level participation and commitment, and Simplicity of intervention measures.

Wednesday, 31 May 2017 Ibrahim Usman Jibril's Presentation_On_NEWMAP_FIG_Working Week_Helsinki_Finland_2017 21 27#22● Lessons ... & Conclusions Developing and disseminating relevant and appropriate key messages on improper waste disposal, rain water harvesting, deforestation and illegal sand mining at the community level helps to pro- mote sustainable behavior change, Regular project site visits and monitoring to check project plans and milestone is important, Decentralized decision making mechanism that enable states through their respective State Project, Management Units helps minimize the bureaucracy and delays in approvals and implementation of project activities.
