RSS 1.0Welcome to Practical Action's library of resources
We are an international development organisation putting ingenious ideas to work so people in poverty can change their world.
We help people find solutions to some of the world’s toughest problems. Challenges made worse by catastrophic climate change and persistent gender inequality. We work with communities to develop ingenious, lasting and locally owned solutions for agriculture, water and waste management, climate resilience and clean energy. And we share what works with others, so answers that start small can grow big.
We’re a global change-making group. The group consists of a UK registered charity with community projects in Africa, Asia and Latin America, an independent development publishing company and a technical consulting service. We combine these specialisms to multiply our impact and help shape a world that works better for everyone.

Practical Action’s Approach to localized flood early warning dissemination in BangladeshPractical Action has been working on flood early warning dissemination for many years and has been exploring with local people what can be done to reduce the impact of flooding on the poorest, most flood-affected communities in Bangladesh. To support these vulnerable communities and build their resilience against frequent flood events, Practical Action is using the Flood Resilience Measurement for Communities (FRMC) tool, developed by Zurich Flood Resilience Alliance (ZFRA), to undertake holistic assessments of the resilience of these communities in real time.
