Effects of Flood Mitigation Measure: Lessons from Dhaka Flood Protection Project, Bangladesh
Vol. 24, No. 6 Asian Profile December, 1996 Effects of Flood Mitigation Measure: Lessons from Dhaka Flood Protection Project, Bangladesh BHUIYAN MONWAR ALAM Research Associate LETECIA N. DAMOLE Research Associate and EBEL WICKRAMANAYAKE Associate Professor Regional & Rural Development Planning Human Settlements Development Program School of Environment, Resources and Development Asian Institute of Technology Bangkok, Thailand Introduction Although, Bangladesh is subjected to perpetual floods every year, she suffered two of the most serious and devastating floods on record in 1987 and 1988 which lasted from later part of August to first part of September. Vast areas of the country including the Capital City of Dhaka with a population of about 4.8 million were flooded to an unprecedented degree with flood levels 1.5 m higher than normal for periods up to four weeks. In Dhaka City, it is estimated that about 200 sq km (77 per cent of the total area of 260 sq km) was submerged to depths ranging from 0.3 m to over 4.5 m (FAP 8B, 1991). About 2.4 million people (50 per cent of the city population) were directly affected by these floods. Conservative estimates of the floods suggest that loss due to annual flood is about TkI 250 milhon, and the damages to a 10-year (return period) flood and a 40-year (return period) flood are Tk 530 million and Tk 750 million, respectively (Bangladesh Water Development Board, Undated). Following the floods of 1988 the Government of Bangladesh (GOB) established a National Flood Protection Committee in October 1988 which proposed to build a system comprising of embankments and flood walls around Dhaka City to protect the intrusion of flood water from the surrounding rivers and drain out the internal water caused by rainfall.

Bangkok City Farm Program: Promoting Urban Agriculture Through Networks Roof Garden on Top of Laksi District Office Administration Building Cabannes, 2019
Food System Planning Case No. 2 March 2021 Bangkok City Farm Program: promoting urban agriculture through networks Roof garden on top of Laksi District Office Administration building Cabannes, 2019 The case study1 has been put together by the Dhaka Food System project, with support by the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and in association with the Bangladesh Institute of Planners. The case studies provide relevant international references to stakeholders, to inform how to best integrate food system considerations into urban planning. Introduction: what is this case about? The Bangkok City Farm Program, publicly funded, has provided support over the last ten years to a broad spectrum of urban agriculture related local activities. Its implementation through a network of partners institutions and coordinated by a lean staffed Thailand Sustainable Agriculture Foundation (http://sathai.org, Thai Language only), has permitted reaching out and supporting hundreds of grassroots, through small financial award, training and awareness raising activities. One of its uniqueness lies in its quite high cost / benefit ratio, high level of efficiency, capacity to raise urban agriculture profile on the city and national agenda and strengthening urban farmers resilience in cases of floods or COVID, facilitating their access to nutritious food. As such, it might be a brilliant example for Bangladesh food champions to consider. 1. Context: Bangkok urban and food challenges Quite Similar to Dhaka where rivers are part of the city life, wealth and threats, Bangkok’ Chao Praya river remains a source of life and nourishment and central to development of agricultural sector. Another aspect shared by both capitals refers to very extremely population density: respectively: inner Bangkok 3662 pp/km2 and 1542 for BMA compared to 28 600 pp/km2 for Dhaka).

China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States
Order Code RL32688 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States Updated April 4, 2006 Bruce Vaughn (Coordinator) Analyst in Southeast and South Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Wayne M. Morrison Specialist in International Trade and Finance Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States Summary Southeast Asia has been considered by some to be a region of relatively low priority in U.S. foreign and security policy. The war against terror has changed that and brought renewed U.S. attention to Southeast Asia, especially to countries afflicted by Islamic radicalism. To some, this renewed focus, driven by the war against terror, has come at the expense of attention to other key regional issues such as China’s rapidly expanding engagement with the region. Some fear that rising Chinese influence in Southeast Asia has come at the expense of U.S. ties with the region, while others view Beijing’s increasing regional influence as largely a natural consequence of China’s economic dynamism. China’s developing relationship with Southeast Asia is undergoing a significant shift. This will likely have implications for United States’ interests in the region. While the United States has been focused on Iraq and Afghanistan, China has been evolving its external engagement with its neighbors, particularly in Southeast Asia. In the 1990s, China was perceived as a threat to its Southeast Asian neighbors in part due to its conflicting territorial claims over the South China Sea and past support of communist insurgency.

The People's Republic of Bangladesh Project: Dhaka–Chittagong Railway
Ex-ante Evaluation 1. Name of the Project Country: The People’s Republic of Bangladesh Project: Dhaka–Chittagong Railway Development Project (Loan Agreement: December 11, 2007; Loan Amount: 12,916 million yen; Borrower: The Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh) 2. Necessity and Relevance of JBIC’s Assistance 1. Present state and issues facing the railway sector in Bangladesh In Bangladesh, projects in the railway sector require more time and funds to bear fruit than do projects in the road and other sectors. For this and other reasons, the government of Bangladesh has scarcely made any new investments in railway development since independence in the 1970s. Consequently, virtually all railway facilities and equipment now in use were developed during the British colonial period (up to 1947). Indeed, they have become so old and decrepit that they are unable to fully capitalize on the railway’s inherent strengths – massive, rapid, punctual, safe, and environment friendly – resulting in reduced transportation volume, poorer service and a smaller role for the railway in the overall transport sector. In parallel with the robust GDP growth (5–6%) in recent years, demand for freight transportation has steadily increased by 5–6% annually in Bangladesh, showing particularly rapid growth in the demand for transport in the Dhaka–Chittagong section, connecting Dhaka, the capital city and political and economic hub of the country, and Chittagong, the second largest city and industrial hub with the country’s largest seaport. Since 2001, the amount of cargo handled at the port of Chittagong has been increasing by more than 10% annually, but if the port facilities are expanded and enough private companies are attracted to the Export Processing Zone (EPZ), the demand for transport in the Dhaka–Chittagong section can be expected to increase even further.

Nepali-Speaking Lhotsampas of Bhutan Population of Bhutan: 798,000 (2016 Estimate)
Caring for the Health of Refugees and Immigrants Nepali-Speaking Lhotsampas of Bhutan Population of Bhutan: 798,000 (2016 estimate) Bhutan is a small, South Asian country nestled in the Himalayan Mountains between China and India. The Lhotsampas (“People of the South”) are an ethnically- and linguistically-Nepali people from Bhutan. They are descendants of Nepali people who settled in Bhutan mostly during the early 1800s to early 1900s. In the 1980s, xenophobic fear spread that the ethnic minority Lhotsampas were starting to overtake the ethnic majority Druks. This led the country’s king to institute a “one country, one people” policy that required all Bhutanese citizens to dress, worship, and speak as the Druks did. Textbooks were burned, Lhotsampa teachers were dismissed, and Nepali was banned from schools. Protests were declared subversive and illegal. By the early 1990s, the minority group was frequently subject to detention, imprisonment without trial, and torture. The citizenship of Lhotsampas was questioned and their Bhutanese nationality documents were often rejected. In December 1990, the government decreed that any Lhotsampas who could not prove they were residents of Bhutan in the year 1958 would have to leave the country. More than 100,000 Lhotsampas fled to Nepal, where they have spent the past quarter of a century in crowded, impoverished refugee camps. Nepal did not allow refugees to integrate into Nepali society, seek employment, or travel outside of the camps and initially refused to allow any refugees to be resettled in other countries. An intractable humanitarian crisis emerged, further complicated by the failure of diplomatic negotiations between Bhutan and Nepal.
