Narrative Description of Project: This project, initiated by ActionAid Bangladesh, is aimed at gaining a comprehensive understanding of climate-induced migration within Bangladesh, particularly in regions affected by climate change-related environmental risks. The study seeks to delve into the factors preventing disaster-affected individuals from returning to their places of origin and also examines the role of government and private sector initiatives in providing shelter and livelihood opportunities to these affected populations.
The project’s scope encompasses an analysis of coordination mechanisms among various stakeholders with the ultimate goal of strengthening urban emergency preparedness and response in the face of climate-induced migration. The project will yield valuable outputs, including audio recordings of case studies, an inception report complete with a work plan, a comprehensive study report containing recommendations, and concise 4-page summaries highlighting key findings.
