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.

Training on General Patient, Family Planning and PAC e-registers were organized in all upazilas of Habiganj except Madhabpur, where all the service modules have already been rolled out. The reference document and manual for the e-registers have been developed and practiced during the training sessions. Simultaneously FWA e-register was introduced throughout Habiganj. aMoni HSS Project shared program experiences at the Community Health Workers’ Symposium held from 21st to 23rd FebruaryM 2017 in Kampala, Uganda. The symposium titled "Contribution of Community Health Workers (CHWs) toward Earlier all the DGFP CSBAs of Madhabpur, 13 in total, had received training on MNC e-register and started working on it. Again attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)" was organised by the School of Social Sciences Public Health team around 400 HAs and FWAs were trained on PRS application who have been collecting population data since. In Madhabpur, at Nottingham Trent University (NTU), Makerere University School of Public Health (MakSPH) and the Ugandan Ministry of some 92% of the population have been registered and given away Health ID cards.

Images of bands 1 - 5 and 7 of Landsat 4 - 5 TM and Landsat 7 ETM+ imagery recorded in years 2001, 2005 and 2009 are classified using unsupervised classification with the technique of image segmentation. It is found that during the eight year period, paddy area increased from 30% to 37%, followed by the increase in the homestead (55% to 57%) and urban area (1% to 3%). These changes occurred at the expense of the decrease in forest land cover (14% to 3%). In the category of homestead, the presence of different kinds of vegetation often makes it difficult to separate the category from paddy field, though paddy exhibits accuracy of 93.70% - 99.95%, which is better than the values for other categories.
