Restoring water supplies in these People Injured: 7103 areas remains a priority. Work is continuing with the temporary repairs to embankments with the government announcing that Family Affected: 8,60,200 the AFD will be deployed to undertake major reconstruction in People Affected: 48,25,954 the coming days. As was alluded to previously, the extent of inundation in areas of Khulna and Satkhira districts is severe Houses Damaged: 6,09,592 with long term livelihood challenges ahead particularly in the Crops Damaged: 3,18,140 acre shrimp industry where major losses have occurred and also in the agriculture sector where the longer term impact of saline intrusion in regard to land use will not be known for some time. Many boatloads of people have been observed leaving the water logged areas of Dacope in Khulna District and head towards Khulna and other townships. This may only be a temporary situation however the likelihood of more people transitioning out of the affected areas is considered high, particularly if inundation cannot be reversed. While the current effort remains on immediate relief and medical assistance the future focus must soon shift to addressing the mid to longer term habitat and livelihood challenges caused by the extensive inundation and imminent flood season.

The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of National Societies to respond to disasters. CHF 292,693 has been allocated on 17 October 2012 from the IFRC’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the National Society in delivering immediate assistance to some 25,000 beneficiaries. Unearmarked funds to repay DREF are encouraged. Summary: A fast moving tropical storm hit some remote islands in three different coastal districts in Bangladesh at 22hr00 on 10 October 2012. Due to the speed which this tropical storm formed, it was not being tracked by any meteorological agencies. The affected districts are Noakhali, Bhola and Chittagong. The Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS) local district units reports at least 31 people were killed and 100 injured NDRT conducting assessment in one of the affected in the cyclonic storm that swept seven upazilas (sub- areas in Mogadia Union of Mirershorai Upazila in districts) of Noakhali, Bhola and Chittagong districts.

    Bangladesh Rice J. 21 (2) : 109-122, 2017 Diversity of Cropping Systems in Chittagong Region S M Shahidullah1*, M Nasim1, M K Quais1 and A Saha1 ABSTRACT The study was conducted over all 42 upazilas of Chittagong region during 2016 using pre-tested semi- structured questionnaire with a view to document the existing cropping patterns, cropping intensity and crop diversity in the region. The most dominant cropping pattern Boro−Fallow−T. Aman occupied about 23% of net cropped area (NCA) of the region with its distribution over 38 upazilas out 42. The second largest area, 19% of NCA, was covered by single T. Aman, which was spread out over 32 upazilas. A total of 93 cropping patterns were identified in the whole region under the present investigation. The highest number of cropping patterns was 28 in Naokhali sadar and the lowest was 4 in Begumganj of the same district. The lowest crop diversity index (CDI) was observed 0.135 in Chatkhil followed by 0.269 in Begumganj. The highest value of CDI was observed in Banshkhali, Chittagong and Noakhali sadar (around 0.95). The range of cropping intensity values was recorded 103−283%. The maximum value was for Kamalnagar upazila of Lakshmipur district and minimum for Chatkhil upazila of Noakhali district. As a whole the CDI of Chittagong region was 0.952 and the average cropping intensity at the regional level was 191%.

Questions addressed were: (1) How do rates of shoreline change vary over the period 2011–2019? (2) Did new revetments effectively halt erosion and what were the magnitudes of erosion change? (3) How have erosion rates changed for shorelines within 1 km of revetments, and (4) How do households perceive revetments? High-resolution Planet Lab imagery was used to quantify shoreline change rates.

  • Mamoni Health Systems Strengthening Activity (USAID Cooperative Agreement AID-388-LA-13-00004)
    MaMoni Health Systems Strengthening Activity (USAID Cooperative Agreement AID-388-LA-13-00004) Quarterly Report January 01, 2018– March 31, 2018 Submitted April 30, 2018 Cover Photo Story: Nijhum Dwip looks forward to a healthy future “I would deliver at home as I did before”, Shaheena said when she was asked what she would do if the health center were not there. Shaheena had her second baby delivered at the Nijhum Dwip (a remote island in Hatiya upazila on the south of Bangladesh) Union Health and Family Welfare Centre (UH&FWC) on the day the facility started functioning. For Shaheena, delivering at a health facility was hardly an option before. Shaheena lives in a village in Nijhum Dwip. The nearest health facility from Nijhum Dwip was in Jahajmara union which was hard-to-reach and expensive, would take at least 2-3 hours journey by engine boat and rikshaw van. For about 30,000 people who call Nijhum Dwip their home, ‘delivery at home’ had therefore been the only option. On November 1, 2017, the remote island got its first health center equipped with sufficient essentials to provide a range of basic healthcare services including normal delivery services. Six weeks later, the Nijhum Dwip UH&FWC started providing 24/7 normal delivery services to the community. Now the people of Nijhum Dwip, one of the hardest-to-reach areas in Bangladesh, have the option to avail normal delivery services by skilled birth attendants around-the-clock and free of cost. The establishment of the Nijhum Dwip UH&FWC represents a novel initiative undertaken by the district family planning department and local government with MaMoni HSS project playing the facilitation role.
