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.

  • Sector Assessment (Summary): Agriculture and Natural Resources1
    Coastal Climate Resilient Infrastructure Project (RRP BAN 45084) SECTOR ASSESSMENT (SUMMARY): AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCES1 A. Sector Road Map 1. Sector Performance, Problems, and Opportunities 1. Agricultural development and sustainable rural natural resource management are critical for poverty reduction as the majority of the poor in Bangladesh are in rural areas and depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. Some 75% of the population and 85% of the poor live in rural areas. Agriculture generates half of employment, contributes 20% of the gross domestic product, and provides a secure supply of food to the whole population. Fostering agricultural and rural development has taken on increased importance in recent years as policy makers grapple with climate change and with sudden spikes in global and domestic food prices. 2. Growth drivers in rural areas are shifting from rice cultivation to high-value agricultural commodities and off-farm employment. Transforming subsistence to commercial agriculture is the key to improving rural livelihoods, boosting rural economic growth, and contributing to long-term food security. The Government of Bangladesh promotes diversification in agriculture by fostering private sector-led agribusiness and improving rural infrastructure. The latter includes developing farm-to-market roads, providing access to affordable power, developing rural growth centers, including marketplaces with women’s sections, and building rural water supply and sanitation infrastructure. With climate change risks growing, the provision of climate-resilient rural infrastructure assumes growing importance. In addition, there is a need to develop rural institutions that help ensure that better market access bring improved livelihoods and more rapid social development. All these issues have important gender-equality dimensions, and households headed by women can benefit.

Furthermore, the intensity of poverty gets worse by high levels of vulnerability due to increasing frequency and magnitude of natural disasters in the coastal areas adjacent to the Bay of Bengal. The common disasters in Bangladesh include floods, cyclones, tornadoes, river erosion, landslides, droughts and earthquakes as well as the affects of these disasters. The situation is further exaggerated by a continuous rise of population and lack of functional community- based disaster management strategies.
