In each commune, the Damage Prevention Committee (CDPC), broadly representative
of the commune, is supported by DW to provide assistance to the beneficiary
family groups undertaking strengthening, for example in the management of
subsidies and credit. They have also played a key role in the beneficiary
selection process.
The CDPC and its members are active in helping organise shows and other animation events that take place in each commune, they select which project activities they would like to take part in, and make suggestions about communication media they think will work well.
Each commune choses the public buildings it would like to have reinforced as part of the project, and proposes how much contribution the commune can make in partnership with DW.
DW provides training to the Commune Committees, during monthly meetings and in specific training workshops, for example, for builders and local leaders.
