RHL Project-brief
Many coastal residents depend on seasonal subsistence agriculture and agriculture wage labor, which are highly climate-sensitive. Moreover, many coastal inhabitants live in houses built of mud and plants severely affected by cyclones, storm surges, and high tides. The lack of climate-resilient housing poses a serious poverty trap as significant portions of the incomes of coastal communities go towards house repairs. Under this circumstance, to develop a climate-adaptive coastal community in Bangladesh by adopting climate-resilient housing and livelihood technologies, the Green Climate Fund (GCF) approved “Resilient Homestead and Livelihood Support to the Vulnerable Coastal People of Bangladesh (RHL),” a five-year project. The primary goal of the RHL project is to enhance the climate resilience of Bangladesh’s vulnerable coastal communities. As an implementing entity of the RHL project, Nowabenki Gonomukhi Foundation (NGF) is implementing this project in Shyamnagar Upazila of Satkhira district which is geographically positioned in the most climate-vulnerable region.
Working Area:
NGF is implementing this project in 10 unions of Shyamnagar Upazila. Those are-Gabura, Padmapukur, Munshiganj, Burigoalini, Atulia, Ramjannagr, Koikhali, Kashimar, Ishwaripur, Nurnagar.
