Overview
A notable achievement by the Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS)/ the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) was the very first photography exhibition on Red Cross Red Crescent works titled Mindscape held in Dhaka on 8 May 2012 in celebration of World Red Cross Red Crescent day. This event showcased disaster management and rehabilitation works that have been carried out over the years since 1971 war in Bangladesh.
The movement coordination meeting attended by BDRCS, IFRC, Partner National Societies (PNSs), and the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) representatives offered a platform for discussion on challenges and solutions to strengthen the Movement action. Similarly, the Disaster Management Working Group (DMWG) and the Organizational Development Working Group (ODWG) are also complimentary to the work carried out by the Movement in the country.
E-newsletter under the knowledge management component in climate change adaption (CCA) project has been launched on 23 July 2012 through a small inauguration at the presence of BRAC University’s Vice Chancellor and BDRCS Chairman. The e-newsletter will publish case stories and happenings of climate change in the country along communities’ coping strategies in this regard. This will be available in the BDRCS website and interventions through various DM programs in regards to climate change will also be updated in this portal.
In case of any major disasters, BDRCS, IFRC and other PNSs collate to discuss on the types of humanitarian assistance to affected people. Additionally, assistance is sought from external donors to maximize number of beneficiaries and support.
