The CVR initiative has its origins in a sanitation
programme launched in 2001 to construct toilets for
villages. Hygiene education was included in the
programme in 2002–03 and the water supply component
was added in 2003–04. Around the same time, it was
realized that, even though the interventions did respond
to some of the communities’ needs, communities could
have had a greater say in what was done and in what
order of priority. In other words, more could have been
done to raise communities’ awareness and involve them
in decision-making. This led to the introduction of
participatory assessment and hazard awareness
(vulnerability and capacity assessment – VCA), which
enabled the integration of a disaster preparedness
component, including the planning of prevention and
mitigation actions. In 2004, with the backing of the
Australian Red Cross, disaster preparedness was
integrated into the programme in Guanxi province and
later in Hunan province with Danish Red Cross support.
