Left in the Wake Climate Adaptation, Editorial/Opinion, Friendship Bangladesh, Poverty Alleviation - These riverine islands form and erode yearly, partially and entirely disappearing under the waves frequently. The impermanence of the landscape makes long-term or permanent infrastructure all but impossible. This includes everything from roads and bridges, to running water, electricity, gas or even mobile network connectivity. Services, need not be said, become a very difficult undertaking. Education, healthcare, legal aid services, law enforcement, financial independence, market access, climate resilience, disaster management, etc. to name a few—both from government and non-government providers.

Plinths!
A ray of hope during floods, now GCA Adaptation Champion award nominee at #COP27!
In an erosion- and flood-prone landscape where even the land is impermanent, and losing everything is simply a regular fact of life, these raised oval villages are flood shelters and platforms for families who have lost everything to rebuild from.
This community-supported innovation has made it into top 5 in the local innovation category of GCA’s Local Adaptation Champions Awards.

"Too often Partnership Agreements are a tool in the hands of the funding organizations to impose the implementation of a project on terms imposed by them…", said Marc Elvinger, Chair, Friendship Luxembourg during his public lecture two days ago at the University of Dhaka.
The session titled ‘Exploring partnership in international non-government development cooperation: question of equality and sustainability’ was hosted by the Centre on Budget and Policy and Professor Kazi Maruful Islam, Dept. of Development Studies, University of Dhaka.
The full excerpt from his lecture:
"Too often, partnership agreements are, to the largest extent, a tool in the hands of funding organizations to impose the implementation of a project on terms imposed by them, by defining the subject matter and the mode of intervention which they then require their “implementing partners” to abide to. These funding organizations may be working in many different counties and will, in many instances, have developed a single pattern of intervention and preset modes of working, with only limited, if not minimal, consideration for adaptation to the specific circumstances in which a given project will have to be implemented. This is certainly a factor of limited sustainability of such projects because they may not truly meet the priority needs of the local communities, nor duly take into account local constraints, whether social, environmental or other”
