Description:

Geo Planning for Advanced Development is working as a study team with Oxfam to develop an evidential document to understand the existing socio-economic status and the impact of climate-induced vulnerabilities, which are the primary barriers to ensuring community resilience.
 
Oxfam Bangladesh and its partners are working on outlining the resilience of the Boat Resident Community (BRC) in different zones of the country. While working, Oxfam hardly found any evidential documents or integrated databases that could interpret the BR community’s existing situation regarding residence patterns, livelihood patterns, access to education, health, gender equality, and rights over the common resource pool. The community is based in different parts, especially in the hard-to-reach area or in the most climate-vulnerable zones, 11 Upazilas of 5 Districts (Bhola, Patuakhali, Barguna, Laxmipur, Barisal, Noakhali and Chandpur). The climate impacts to the community’s life and living in resilience building are yet to be studied. Considering the fact, Oxfam reveals the inevitability of developing an evidential document.
 
In this connection, 11 March 2023, Saturday, a consultation workshop titled “Technical Methodology Validation Workshop” has organized by Geo Planning for Advanced Development (GPAD) with Oxfam and partners at Hotel Bengal Canary Park, Gulshan 1, Dhaka 1212, Bangladesh.
 
Moreover, the presented guest believes that by “In-Depth Socio-Economic Study for the Boat Resident Communities of Bangladesh through Spatial Analysis” will able to develop an evidential document. This evidential document will source desegrated data regarding gender identity, social cast, and living zone, as well as can further guide to identifying the priority for the community.
