Considering the effectiveness of community engagement in the successful implementation of sustainable resilience initiatives, UNDP’s National Resilience Programme is mobilising urban community volunteers from local educational institutions under selected city corporations and municipal areas.
Presently, 240 volunteers are engaged with Rangamati Pourashava where they organise, mobilise and receive trainings on urban resilience issues from experts from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). This is part of an MoU signed with Rangpur Corporation, Rangamati Pourshava, Shunamganj Pourashava and Tangail Pourashava in April 2019 for mutual cooperation to enhance urban resilience to reduce disaster risks and vulnerability.
