Improving Community Flood Resilience

The Bangladesh Flood Resilience Project aimed to strengthen the resilience of 21 communities across the Char areas located in the northern part of Bangladesh. The project harnessed advocacy efforts to improve the implementation of policies and increase budget allocation to enhance resilience preparedness, early warning systems and action, collectively strengthening the resilience of communities to the impacts of floods. The project is being implemented in two districts Lalmonirhat and Gaibandha of Rangpur Division.

The project forms one part of a range of projects globally that span across multiple actors, forming the Zurich Flood Resilience Alliance. The Alliance use a range of tools, including the Flood Resilience Measurement for Communities, (FRMC) to assess resilience of a community and support risk informed decision making for flood resilience.
