Abstract
This five-year Practical Action project aims to address the development needs of the communities, who have been displaced by river erosion and those who are living under the threat of being eroded in the near future. Gaibandha is located in northern Bangladesh at the confluence of the two major rivers, which makes the area vulnerable to floods and river erosion. Frequent disasters make life here much more difficult than the rest of the country, by depriving people of land, employment opportunities and basic service facilities. The River Erosion Project of Practical Action Bangladesh received an award from the Department of Fisheries (DoF), for active participation in the Zatka Conservation week. The same work was also recognised by the District Department of Fisheries.
