∎ CARE is one of the world`s leading international humanitarian and development organizations, committed to helping people in poor communities improve their lives and alleviate poverty. Founded in 1945, CARE is working over 100 countries to fight global poverty and marginalization. CARE has been active in Bangladesh since 1949 and is one of the largest programs in CARE confederation. Women and girls are at the core of all CARE programs because they represent half of the marginalized group and it is not possible to overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities. CARE Bangladesh works to implement programs with long-term impacts that result in sustainable changes for the extreme poor and marginalized communities.
∎ CARE has undertaken a community-led initiative called SHOUHARDO III DRR Activity (Haor) to mitigate the high impact of recurrent climate hazards in haor areas. CARE will strengthen the capacity of vulnerable smallholder farmers on climate-smart farming techniques to mitigate against the recurrent loss and damage caused by the annual flooding and other climate-induced hazards. Capacity building approaches such as Farmer Field Business School (FFBS) and SuPER (Sustainable, Productive, Equitable and Resilient Agriculture) integrate more adaptive knowledge and technology to enhance and strengthen traditional farming methods to scale-up production and limit losses during disasters. SHOUHARDO III DRR Activity will raise plinths for houses and communal structures in the village as immediate protection from flooding to minimize loss and damage.
∎ SHOUHARDO III DRR Activity (Haor) will also increase resilience to climate-related hazards and disasters by increasing understanding at the household and community level of risks and preparedness and by increasing capacity at the institutional level to respond efficiently and effectively to reduce loss and damage of assets following an Area Based Disaster Management approach. This includes raising awareness of the actionable early warning system which will enable early action by households and communities to minimize damage and loss of life and assets. This will be supported by inclusive assessments and feedback mechanisms to guide improving systems, structures and plans put in place. Strengthening institutional capacity of the Disaster Management Committees (DMC) and other relevant local government departments will allow for the provision of disaster management services in a responsible and timely manner as specified in the Standing Orders on Disaster 2019 (SOD) and other Disaster Risk Management (DRM) related policies and strategies. In turn, this will reduce gaps in DRM related policy implementation by documenting and sharing good practice and learnings on preparedness and climate adaptation at local and national level.
