Launched in February 2022 and ongoing, the Community-Centric Enhanced Flood Preparedness and Response Plan targets extreme marginalized localities in Bangladesh, particularly Tanguar Haor, to integrate disaster preparedness and response strategies. Focusing on socio-economic transformation, social inclusion, and climate resilience, it will soon launch ‘Tufaan’ (www.tufaan.org) to engage nationwide youth. Associated with Daahuk, this initiative builds resilient networks in flood-prone wetlands, drawing from work models like action-oriented research and stakeholder collaboration. It complements signature efforts such as the Teesta Basin Livelihood Programme, using multi-purpose adaptive boats for relief, education, and transport in char regions. By mobilizing communities and partners, it enhances disaster readiness, promotes cooperative models, and aligns with values of resilience and adaptability for sustainable, community-owned solutions in ecologically critical areas.
