Project type and goal: 

DASCOH Foundation, with funding support from the Climate Bridge Fund (CBF), is implementing a three-year project titled “Strengthening Climate-Vulnerable Urban Communities for Resilience and Gender-Inclusive Sustainable Development” from January 2025 to December 2027 in selected slums under Rajshahi City Corporation. The project aims to enhance the resilience of climate-affected urban communities through integrated interventions focused on livelihood, health, WASH, gender-based violence, and community resilience. It is designed to achieve four key outcomes: (1) strengthened livelihood opportunities and increased economic independence for women, thereby enhancing their resilience to climate impacts; (2) improved health and psychosocial well-being of women in climate-vulnerable communities, with a focus on maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH); (3) enhanced access to climate-resilient and gender-inclusive WASH infrastructure and housing solutions; and (4) improved community resilience against the adverse effects of climate change by promoting gender equality, reducing child marriage and gender-based violence, and strengthening local conflict resolution mechanisms. The project adopts a gender-sensitive, participatory approach to ensure inclusive and sustainable development outcomes.
