The community initially had misunderstandings about the relief distribution from PACT Nepal, with people saying PACT would provide each household Rs. 50,000 and a bag of grain. However, after regular meetings between PACT staff and the community to explain PACT's objectives and that it does not provide direct cash relief, the community now understands PACT's role is to build disaster resilience, not provide cash. The community disaster management committee now clarifies any issues themselves. Regular interaction through the community listening center helped address the initial challenges around project implementation.

Impact of climate change on children research report-plan nepal DPNet
This report summarizes the findings of a study on the impact of climate change on children in Nepal. The study found that children perceive changes in precipitation patterns and increasing temperatures. They report more frequent and intense extreme weather events that negatively impact their health, education, livelihoods, and safety. Key impacts include damage to infrastructure that disrupts schooling, increased vector-borne diseases, threats to child protection during disasters, and declines in family livelihoods that indirectly impact children. Some communities have begun adapting through practices like adjusting school calendars, distributing mosquito nets, promoting climate-smart crops, and protecting water sources. However, the report concludes that more needs to be done to address children's vulnerabilities and promote their participation in climate

The Climate Smart Disaster Risk Management approach was developed by the
Strengthening Climate Resilience (SCR) programme, a DFID funded programme
implemented by the Institute of Development Studies (UK), Christian Aid and Plan
International. Through a period of two years (2010-2011), SCR worked extensively
with policy makers and practitioners to develop the Climate Smart Disaster Risk
Management (CSDRM) approach. The approach seeks to address the gap in
effectively incorporating climate change into disaster risk management (DRM) work,
to ensure development work is both climate smart and disaster proof. The CSDRM
approach was developed iteratively with over 1,000 policy makers, practitioners,
scientists and academics from ten at risk countries in Asia and Africa1.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
