2. Create an enabling policy and legal framework for integrated climate risk management (policy framework);
3. Build capacity at national and county level for integrated climate risk management (capacity building);
4. Analyse the level of exposure, vulnerability to disasters, and capacity at the local scale (exposure, vulnerability, and capacity);
5. Involve communities at risk, and consider gender and marginalized groups (gender mainstreaming);
