Impact Evaluation Of Impact evaluation of the WFP Enhancing Resilience to Natural Disasters and the Effects of Climate Change programme with a specific focus on the resilience dimension ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This study was done by an independent (external) research team. The authors would like however to thank Christa Räder (Country Representative, WFP), Ashraful Amin, Manas Rudra and Mafizul Islam (WFP Bangladesh Country Office), Iqbal Hossain (WFP Barisal Suboffice), and Anna Law and Krishna Krishnamurthy (WFP Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific), for their support during the preparation of the work and for their useful comments on an earlier version of this report. This study was made possible through the generous contribution of the Government of Sweden through the C-ADAPT programme. The Climate Adaptation Management and Innovation Initiative (C-ADAPT) is an initiative funded by the Government of Sweden’s fast-track climate finance that allows WFP and partners to explore innovative climate-induced food insecurity analyses, programmes and best practices, with the goal to help individuals, communities and governments meet their food and nutrition needs under a changing climate.

It was started in 2011 in two distinct parts of the country: the river erosion prone areas of the northwest and the cyclone and salinity affected coastal belt in the south. Through a 3-year cycle of support and training activities one of its main expected outcomes is to strengthen the resilience of the targeted communities. Although several components of the ER programme have already been internally and externally assessed, the specific objective of building the resilience of the targeted population has not. In this context, the WFP office in Bangladesh commissioned an evaluation of the ER programme in 2015, The WFP office with the particular objective of assessing the programme’s in Bangladesh effectiveness in terms of improving beneficiaries’ resilience. commissioned an This report presents the key findings of this evaluation. evaluation of the ER The assessment draws partially on recent conceptual advances made in the understanding of resilience in the programme in 2015, context of food security, where resilience is understood as “the with the particular ability of individuals, households, communities, institutions or higher-level systems to adequately deal with shocks and objective of assessing stressors” (the terms ‘adequately’ referring to the ability to the programme’s avoid short and longer term negative impacts). effectiveness in In the absence of any resilience baseline data, an ex-post terms of improving treatment versus control approach was adopted where the responses (outcome) and ability to recover from shock/ beneficiaries’ resilience. stressors (impact) of the treatment group (households who This report presents benefited from the programme by being participants in the the key findings of this activities) were compared to the responses and ability to recover of control households (non-recipients with similar evaluation. demographics and socioeconomic background living out of 6 Resilience is understood as the ability of individuals, households, communities, institutions or higher-level systems to adequately deal with shocks and stressors. the areas where the programme found to be similar between the idiosyncratic shocks such as has been operating). two groups, but others differed. serious illness or accident, while In particular (despite our effort to treatment households seem to be The impact evaluation was ensure that control and treatment more exposed to covariant shocks constructed around two hypotheses: groups were comparable) and stressors such as flooding (i) Hypothesis 1 at the outcome households in the treatment from excessive rainfall.

The evaluation exercise was implemented in four unions in the southwest region, two of which were unions where the programme had completed a full 3-year cycle (treatment unions), and the two others were unions where the ER programme had no activities (control). In these unions a total of 502 beneficiaries (treatment) and 505 non-beneficiaries (control) were selected. A series of preliminary descriptive analyses were performed to compare the treatment and control groups. Some general household characteristics were 7 Although treatment households reported to be more exposed to shocks/stressors, they appear to display a statistically lower propensity to engage in detrimental responses (including reducing food consumption; changing the type of food consumed; reducing family expenses; taking loan; and seeking assistance from community members) than the control group.

Despite substantial gains in provision of safe water supply in many areas of Bangladesh through improved water supply sources comprising different types of water technologies, some regions of Bangladesh still continued to suffer from water scarcity and quality. Information on the extent to which long term climate changes, weather variability have already been impacted or will impact on water availability and water quality with subsequent impacts on health across country is limited, though future projections of climate change for the South Asian region illustrated that drought conditions will be worsen and water quality issues related to extreme events, flooding, sea-level rise and saline intrusion will continue. This study was undertaken by the Environmental Health Unit of WHO to gather some preliminary evidence of the community perceptions about climate changes, weather variability and climate extremes in coastal and drought prone areas on livelihood mainly in relation to the water and health and the capacities of the communities for adaptation.

    CYCLONE YAAS – Situation Update 25 MAY 2021 | 6:00pm BRAC Humanitarian Programme Source: Windy.com 6:00pm 25 May 2021 Latest Update: ❑ The severe cyclonic storm “Yaas” over the northwest Bay and adjoining area has moved northwestwards and intensified as very severe cyclonic storm, which is now situated about 525 km south-west of Chattogram port, 505 km south-west of Cox’s Bazar port, 390 km south-southwest of Mongla port and 309 km south-southwest of Payra port, as of 6:00pm today. It is likely to move in the north-west direction and may cross the North Odisha-West Bengal coast around noon tomorrow (26 May 2021). Maximum sustained wind speed within 74 km of sever cyclone center is about 120 kph rising to 140 kph in gusts. ❑ Maritime ports of Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, Mongla and Payra are now advised to hoist local cautionary signal number three (3). ❑ The latest special bulletin issued by the Bangladesh Meteorological Department mentions that districts of coastal Bangladesh including Khulna, Satkhira, Bagerhat, Jhalokathi, Pirojpur, Borguna, Patuakhali, Barishal, Bhola, Noakhali, Laxmipur, Feni, Chandpur, and Chattogram and their offshore islands and char areas are to experience gusts with wind speed of 80-100 kilimeters per hour along with heavy rainfall. The bulletin also warns that due to influence of full-moon, inundation of about 2 to 4 feet of tide water may be seen in the abovementioned districts. Updates from the ground: ❑ BRAC representatives at the Satkhira has informed that embankments in some parts of Shyamnagar Upazila, Satkhira, have been breached or are at risk of failing due to strong tidal surge.

The rainwater is slightly acidic as - in the case with rain waters globally. All major cations and anions are present in delectable amount. HCO3 is the dominant anion in the study area and its concentration generally decreases subsequent showers. Such decrease in concentration also is noticed in case of other cations and anions. The influence of seawater in the chemistry of rain water is quite significant in the present study. Although at the beginning of the first rainfall event, bicarbonate ion predominates, its concentration gradually diminishes with the passage of time, but sometimes erratic values are noticed and even in the last fraction of a continuous rainfall. Most of the other cations and anions behave similarly to that of bicarbonate ion.
