The project aims at improving food security in these districts using high yielding rice varieties equipped with tolerances to prevailing stresses. These twenty districts grow rice in about 2.9 M ha out of the country’s total rice area of about 11.3 M ha. Twelve out of the above twenty project districts in southern Bangladesh face the problem of soil salinity of various levels. Recently, BRRI dhan 47 , Binadhan-8 and Binadhan - 10 have been released by the Government of Bangladesh for the salinity-prone areas. These varieties can grow in saline soils with EC of 12 dSm-1 and have performed well on farmer’s fields with an yield advantage of about 1 t/ha over BRRI dhan 28 and 29, the predominantly cultivated high yielding rice varieties in areas with low soil salinity level. Thus, these salt-tolerant varieties offer a high potential for the expansion of rice cultivation to new salt-affected areas and also to increase rice production in low to moderate saline areas, especially during the ‘Boro’ season. For the distribution of salt-tolerant rice seeds in the potential areas, an assessment of ‘upazilas’, ‘unions’ and ‘mauzas’ suitable for the dissemination of BRRI dhan 47, Binadhan-8 and - 10 rice seeds has been carried out. In the 65 upazilas of 12 salt-affected districts in South Bangladesh, 498 unions and 4070 ‘mauzas’ have been identified, based on criteria described in the report, where these variety can be cultivated. Upazila-wise maps showing the location of ‘mauzas’ suitable (with slight to moderate soil salinity levels) and not suitable (with salinity level severe to very severe) have been provided in this report. Also, ‘mauzas’ with no salinity where other HYVs can be grown, have been shown in these upazilas. It is hoped that this report will be useful in the assessment of upazila-wise seed requirement and the dissemination of salinity tolerant BRRI dhan 47, Binadhan-8 and - 10 and other HYVs in their targeted environments. We would appreciate receiving feedback on the report. Authors Acknowledgements uthors acknowledge the support and help received from different sources in preparing this report. The funding support for the project on Sustainable Rice Seed Production and Delivery Systems for Southern Bangladesh (SRSPDS) has been provided by the USAID. AMd. Abeed Hossain Chawdhury, Director, Computer and GIS Unit, Bangladesh Agriculture Research Council (BARC) made available the mauza, union, upazila and district boundary layers. The soil salinity map of Bangladesh used in this study were received from Soil Resource Development Institute, Dhaka. xi | List of Tables, Figures and Maps xii | Site Suitability Analysis for Dissemination of Salt-tolerant Rice Varieties in Southern Bangladesh CHAPTER 1 Introduction Bangladesh is a country of 14.4 M ha geographical area and has a large population (estimated at 158 million in the middle of 2011), with a density of more than 1100 persons per km2. Rice is the staple food crop growing on about 72% of the total cultivated land and continues to be the most important crop for food security of the country. The USAID supported CSISA-Bangladesh project on “Sustainable Rice Seed Production and Delivery Systems for Southern Bangladesh” is being executed by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in twenty districts viz., Bagerhat, Barguna, Barisal, Bhola,Chuadanga, Faridpur, Gopalganj, Jhalokati, Jessore, Jhenaidaha, Khulna, Madaripur, Magura, Meharpur, Narail, Patuakhali, Pirojpur, Rajbari, Satkhira and Shariatpur (Map1). These districts grow rice in about 2.9 M ha out of the country’s total rice area of 11.3 M ha. The project aims at contributing to the Government of Bangladesh’s efforts in improving national and household food security through enhanced and sustained productivity.

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.

This research paper considers the Shyamnagar sub-district in the southern part of Bangladesh to analyze the complex issues of the vulnerability of livelihoods in the face of climate change. We conducted a questionnaire survey (n = 156) of approximately 15.6% of households in the study area. Consequently, we collected Geographical Information System (GIS) data and satellite imagery to demonstrate the land-use changes concerning vulnerabilities. A total of 54 indicators were selected to assess the livelihood vulnerability index, considering the demographic profiles, livelihood strategies, social networks, food security, water security, income, physical infrastructures, access to health services, and impacts of natural disasters. The results of the study demonstrate that only 21% of the people in the studied regions are less vulnerable to livelihood impacts in the face of climate change, while 23% of the households remain the most vulnerable.

The Project Management Unit is especially thankful to Dr Stephan Baas, Lead Technical Advisor (Environment, Climate Change and Bioenergy Division (NRC), FAO, Rome) and Dr Ramasamy Selvaraju, Environment Officer (NRC Division, FAO, Rome) for their overall technical guidance and highly proactive initiatives. The final document and the development of the project outputs are direct results of their valuable insights received on a regular basis. The inputs in the form of valuable information provided by Field Officers (Monitoring) of four coastal Upazilas proved very useful in compiling the report. The reports of the upazilas are very informative and well presented. In the course of the study, the discussions with a number of DAE officials at central and field level were found insightful. In devising the fieldwork the useful contributions from the DAE field offices in four study upazilas and in district offices of Khulna and Pirojpur was significant. The cooperation with the responsible SAAOs in four upazilas was also highly useful. The finalization of the study report has benefited from the valuable inputs, comments and suggestions received from various agencies such as DAE, Climate Change Cell, SRDI (Central and Regional offices), and others.

  • Bangladesh Cyclone Sidr Was the Second Occasion Habitat for Humanity* Responded to a Natural Disaster in Ban- Gladesh
    Habitat for Humanity: The Work Transitional Shelters As480 of December 2008 Latrines As480 of February 2009 A Day in November On 15th November 2007, Cyclone Sidr bore down on southern Bangladesh, unleashing winds that peaked at 250 km. per hour and six-meter high tidal surges that washed away entire villages. Cyclone Sidr killed over 3,000 people, a fraction of the more destructive cyclones that struck in 1970 and 1991 which claimed more than 600,000 lives. But that was still too many. According to reports from the worst hit areas, many of the dead and injured were crushed when trees fell onto poorly constructed houses made of thatch, bam- boo or tin. Others drowned when they, together with their houses, were swept away by the torrents of water.
