The programme has been funded by several donors1, and has received financial support from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) since its start in 2006. The Swedish funding for the third phase of MFF has amounted to 75 mill SEK. The outcome objective of the third phase of the programme is to strengthen the resilience of ecosystem dependent coastal communities. The mission statement for the programme has been to promote healthy coastal ecosystems through a partnership-based, people focused and policy relevant approach that builds and applies knowledge, empowers communities and other stakeholders, enhances governance, secures livelihoods, and increases resilience to natural hazards and climate change. The expected results of the programme are shown in the table below. Output 1: Knowledge generated, disseminated and applied for sustainable management of coastal ecosystems Strengthening information base Enhancing access to and sharing of knowledge at national and regional levels Promoting effective use of knowledge including best practices Output 2: Key stakeholders empowered to engage in decision-making in support of sustainable management of coastal ecosystems Building awareness and capacity of civil society and private sector Supporting multi-stakeholder fora Promoting sustainable livelihoods Output 3: Coastal governance enhanced to promote integrated and inclusive management Strengthening capacity of national and regional governance institutions for integrated coastal management Engaging with key business sectors to promote sustainable business practices Promoting co-management and similar participatory natural resource management mechanisms The evaluation has had three primary purposes: - To provide Sida and other intended users with an opportunity to learn from the outcomes and experiences of the programme. Sida will seek to apply the findings from the evaluation in cooperation related to SDG 142 and integrated fisheries/coastal management. Partners will use the evaluation in the further development of operational relevance for future implementation. 1 In addition to Swedish funding, the programme has received funding from Denmark, Norway, Australia, Germany, UNDP and UNEP. 2 SDG14: Sustainable Development Goal No. 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development. 8 - To serve as one of the inputs for Sida in assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of the programme as part of the implementation of Sweden´s Regional Development Strategy for Asia and the Pacific 2016-2021. - To provide Sida with a basis on which to be able to evaluate the relevance and efficiency of MFF’s future programming vis-a-vis the potential of other actors and service providers in the region working with similar challenges. The evaluation was carried out as a participatory exercise involving, i.a. participation in a meeting with the Programme Regional Steering Committee (RSC) where 65 individuals participated, and where the evaluation team interacted with the participants through person-to-person interviews and facilitation of a learning event as part of data collection for the evaluation. In accordance with the terms of reference, the focus of the evaluation was on Phase III of the Programme. Wherever relevant, results and lessons learned from previous phases were included in the analysis, including field study findings from some pilot projects from Phase 2. There was also a geographical focus in the sense that field visits were carried out to projects implemented under MFF in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Vietnam. In total, the Team met with 310 stakeholders, beneficiaries and other informants in person-to-person interviews and focus group meetings. The evaluation employed a mainly qualitative evaluation methodology, complemented with quantitative analyses where that was relevant and where it was possible to develop quantitative tools. The evaluation team collected the information required by means of desk study of documentation, person-to-person interviews and meetings with informants, distance interviews with informants, field observations during country visits, the SWOT learning event at the RSC meeting with around 60 key programme stakeholders participating, focus group meetings and questionnaire surveys directed to stakeholders and beneficiaries. A communication platform in the form of a closed Facebook group was also established with the regional secretariat of the programme. All specific findings and observations were stored in an excel evidence matrix structured in accordance with the evaluation questions, which was used for triangulating different types of information from different categories of stakeholders and beneficiaries to provide the findings related to the evaluation questions.

  • Tourism Demand Analysis
    Greater Mekong Subregion Tourism Infrastructure for Inclusive Growth Project (RRP CAM 46293-004) TOURISM DEMAND ANALYSIS A. Tourism Sector Context 1. International visitor arrivals in Cambodia reached 3.58 million in 2012, a 24% increase compared to 2011. While recent growth in arrivals has been remarkable, average length of stay has dropped by 6% to 6.3 days since 2008 and average daily spending is hovering at around $100 per day. The direct contribution of travel and tourism to GDP is 11.4% and is expected to be 11.5% of GDP in 2025. International tourism receipts reached a historic high of $2.2 billion in 2012, sustaining 782,500 jobs or 12.4% of total employment. About 60% of arrivals originate in Southeast and East Asia, with Viet Nam, the Republic of Korea and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as significant source markets. Cambodia is one of the most visa-friendly destinations in the world, offering tourist visa-on-arrival for 179 countries and visa exemption for member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The government’s Tourism Development Strategic Plan 2012–2020 forecasts 7 million international arrivals in 2020 and prioritizes investment in the southern coastal corridor (Koh Kong, Sihanoukville, Kampot, and Kep), Mekong River corridor and Tonle Sap Lake, and protected areas in the Northeast and Cardamom Mountains. B. Tourism in Kampot Province 2. Kampot’s main tourist attractions are (i) Kampot Town’s riverside setting, colonial-era buildings and historic market; (ii) Preah Monivong (Bokor) National Park, with the Bokor Hill Station and recently opened integrated resort; (iii) salt and pepper farms; and (iv) Teuk Chhou Rapids and nearby durian plantations.

  • Impact of Structural Development Projects on Vulnerability of Coastal Communities to Disaster
    IMPACT OF STRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS ON VULNERABILITY OF COASTAL COMMUNITIES TO DISASTER Mohammad Aminur Rahman Master in Disaster Management; Bachelor of Urban and Regional Planning Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Civil Engineering and Built Environment Science and Engineering Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2019 Keywords Bangladesh, southwest coastal region, Khulna, Satkhira, Coastal Embankment Project (CEP), development, disaster management, polder, political ecology, social- ecological system, shrimp, sustainable development, transformation, vulnerability, water resources development. Impact of Structural Development Projects on Vulnerability of Coastal Communities to Disaster i Abstract Initiated in the early 1960s, the Coastal Embankment Project (CEP) in Bangladesh brought more than 1.2 million hectares of low-elevation coastal land under cultivation through a complex system of embankments and drainage sluices. A major milestone in the history of water resources management in Bangladesh, CEP served as a catalyst for socio-economic development of the coastal community over the following decades. However, there were some unintended negative consequences too. Human intervention into complex hydro-geo-morphological settings of the Gangetic Delta manifested a number of social and ecological challenges. As the embankments had cut off the tidal plains from the rivers, silt started to be deposited on the riverbeds which eventually caused drainage congestion inside the polders (the island-like embanked landmasses). Meanwhile, significant changes of landuse occurred as saltwater shrimp farming took over traditional crop cultivation. Increased global demand of shrimp encouraged people to take up shrimp farming instead of crops but they soon realized that the trade-off was unjustified.

  • Exploring Implementation Gaps Between Policy and Practice for Disaster Management in Bangladesh
    IDRiM (2016) 6 (2) ISSN: 2185-8322 DOI10.5595/idrim.2016.0181 Journal of Integrated Disaster Risk Management Original paper Exploring Implementation Gaps between Policy and Practice for Disaster Management in Bangladesh Tofayel Ahmed1*, Haruna Moroto2, Maiko Sakamoto2, Akiko Matsuyama3 Received: 31/03/2016 / Accepted: 08/02/2017 / Published online: 011/03/2017 Abstract There has been much effort to formulate a national plan for improved and effective disaster management in Bangladesh, all of which have used strategies matching international charters and declarations. However, whether such a policy has been adequately implemented into practice at the community level is a major concern. The purpose of this study is to explore the gaps in implementation between what is instructed at the policy level and what takes place on the ground. The authors have reviewed relevant literature, conducted focus-group discussions with individuals in disaster-risk and disaster-affected areas, interviewed professionals from international non-governmental organizations (INGO) of mainstreaming disaster management activities, prepared a Geographic Information System (GIS) map of non-governmental organizations (NGO) and INGO implementation areas, and conducted interviews with member secretaries and members of local disaster-management committees at Cyclone Komen affected areas. Results showed that knowledge and coordination gaps, the functionality of the disaster management committee, monitoring systems, and invalid and unreliable data were the major drawbacks for further achievement in disaster management. In this conclusion, we suggested the urgent tasks for improvement of the present disaster management (DM) systems: building capacity of disaster management committees at local level; making them accountable; and encouraging other organizations/institutions who contribute to reduce death toll and damage from disasters.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ ABSTRACT Background: Bangladesh is very rich in floral diversification having almost 5000 species; but the thing is that the existence of floral community is now at stake due to diminishing knowledge of the local people about the uses and importance of plant species as the societies are going through a changing lifestyle; as a result, they are showing harsh behavior to the plant population to fulfill their satisfaction. Objective: In our study, we tried to document the species’ availability, composition and diversity of the study area as well as the ethnobotanical knowledge of the people residing there about the uses of plant species in order to transfer that knowledge from generation to generation for helping in the long-term plant species conservation. Results: 44 species under 27 families were cited by the interviewee and 25 species out of 44 have food value which is the highest use value of all categories (Food, Construction, Medicine, Fuelwood and Other).
