This policy brief presents insights on the resilience and adaptive capacity of flood-affected communities in Prek Prasop District, Kratie province, Cambodia. It highlights the strategies used by communities, and particularly women, to adapt their livelihoods to withstand extreme events and seasonal environmental change. The brief presents combined results from nine workshops conducted in four villages in two communes, using focus group discussions with women and men to develop seasonal calendars and activity diaries. Local knowledge is as valuable as scientific scholarship, and incorporates nuanced details of agricultural and climate change knowledge that scientific tools such as modelling of crop productivity, river discharge and rainfall cannot capture.
