SEARCH Methodology

The SEARCH project uses an adopted operational methodology for resilience called the Participatory Planning Cycle (PPC).

The PPC is a framework that works with all levels of the community; it helps include the national level, the governorate and district level and finally the village level. 

The resilience framework PPC includes 6 steps that focus on visioning, creating detailed strategies and policy recommendations for increasing the resilience of local communities towards climate change.
