The programme will conduct a comprehensive review of existing social protection programmes of the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief (MoDMR), Government of Bangladesh, to assess their capacity to adapt to climate change and natural disasters. It will also analyse the policy and regulatory landscape to identify obstacles hindering the integration of climate adaptation into social protection programs.
Our Role:
We are strengthening the climate resilience of Bangladesh’s social protection programmes through adaptive planning, policy analysis, gender-responsive and pro-poor adaptation strategies, integration of early warning systems and disaster risk financing, capacity building, stakeholder engagement, and robust monitoring and evaluation. The initiative aims to build equitable, climate-resilient systems that benefit vulnerable communities, particularly women.
As a part of this programme, we have led the planning and assessment of social protection systems for climate adaptation, analysed policy barriers, developed gender-responsive, pro-poor adaptation strategies, integrated early warning systems and disaster risk financing mechanisms, and designed capacity building modules. We have also conducted monitoring and impact assessments, facilitated multistakeholder knowledge exchange, and advanced climate finance readiness by identifying financing needs and opportunities, supporting the development of investment frameworks, and strengthening access to climate finance for social protection programming, especially for the Employment Generation Programme for the Poorest (EGPP) workfare programme.
