The study analysed data from self-reported surveys from 133 members of the sub-district level disaster management committee and government officials working with DRR. Employing the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method, we find that political economy factors explain 68% of the variance in funding allocations. We also show that four categories of political economy factors—power and authority, interest and incentives, institutions, and values and ideas—are significantly influential over the distribution of DRR funding across subdistricts of Bangladesh. Our findings offer important policy implications to reduce the potential risks surrounding political economy influences in fund allocation and advance climate Citation: Islam, Shafiqul, Khondker finance literature.

It developed over the Bay of Bengal and made landfall on 15 November 2007 in the coastal areas of Bangladesh. It brought winds of up to 250 Km/hr and associated tidal surges. These tidal surges penetrated deep and extensively inland, compounding the already existing problems from seasonal flooding. ACT alliance responded to the disaster with funds sourced by the appeal ASBD72 Cyclone Sidr and the follow-on appeal ASBD81, launched on 8 May 2008 to support ACT members in rehabilitation activities. The appeal ASBD81 included the response proposed by the ACT member Rangpur Dinajpur Rural Service (RDRS) only. The revision of ASBD81 will include responses by the additional five ACT members: Church of Bangladesh Social Development Programme (CBSDP), Christian Commission for Development in Bangladesh (CCDB), KOINONIA, Lutheran Health Care Bangladesh (LHCB) and Social Health & Education Development (SHED). 1. Rangpur Dinajpur Rural Service (RDRS) responded to this disaster through one of its development partners, the Resource Integration Centre (RIC). In the emergency relief operation RIC provided food, drinking water, warm clothing, temporary shelter, and medicine. In the present post-emergency phase of 5 months, RDRS and RIC are implementing presently following activities: Repairing and reconstruction of houses, establishment of WATSAN system, livelihood restoration support and repairing of community places.

  • Notable Bird Records from Bangladesh from July 2002 to July 2013
    FORKTAIL 30 (2014): 50–65 Notable bird records from Bangladesh from July 2002 to July 2013 PAUL M. THOMPSON, SAYAM U. CHOWDHURY, ENAM UL HAQUE, M. MONIRUL H. KHAN & RONALD HALDER Details are given of 38 species new for Bangladesh which were recorded between July 2002 and December 2013. New sightings and information are given for a further 86 species that either have few records since 1978, or for which there have been major changes in known status, or for which there is uncertainty over status, or which are globally threatened and for which a status update for Bangladesh is warranted. In addition one species of doubtful occurrence is discussed, and the status of globally threatened and near threatened species is updated where appropriate. This period has seen an increase in the number of active Bangladeshi birdwatchers, several surveys for threatened species, the advent of digital photography to document sightings and, most recently, a series of ringing camps where mist- netting revealed the presence of secretive passerines in reed-scrub habitat in the north-eastern wetlands. INTRODUCTION Records in the following list are related to regions of Bangladesh (north-west, south-east, etc.). This geographical arrangement is a Since the summary of the status of birds in Bangladesh (Harvey revised version of the regions used in Harvey (1990) and the 1990), two papers (Thompson et al. 1993, Thompson & Johnson boundaries of these regions are shown in Figure 1, along with the 2003) have detailed notable bird records, and a carefully revised locations of the 92 sites mentioned in the text.
