There are over 750 districts in India which constitute an important administrative layer in the country. Yet there is a lack of attention to district level mainstreaming processes for integrated DRR and CCA measures. This study intends to bridge this gap and bring to the fore scope and limitations for operating at this level. It draws from field work at Srikakulam, a coastal district in Andhra Pradesh, India and proposes a framework blending DRR and CCA with environmental conservation measures. It views mainstreaming to be shaped by two dimensions: administrative scale and tradeoffs. The paper argues that the current strategy which hinges on centralized decision making for DRR and CCA mainstreaming, offers limited avenues for engagement with local level functionaries and communities. As a result, potential solutions concerning procedure, policy and practice fail to get due support and remain outside the mainstreaming process.
