Following the visit, they shared insights, experiences, and potential for replicating these solutions in their own country.
On 22 April, the visitors met with representatives of CCDBโs local partner organizations under the RECAP project in an interactive session, exchanging views and feedback. They noted that RECAP can strengthen partners’ capacity for effective climate action across four South Asian countries and emphasized continued engagement with government stakeholders to position RECAP for long-term adaptation and resilience planning.
On 23 April, the team visited the CCDB field office in Manikganj to observe community-based adaptation practices, a womenโs forum, climate-resilient farming techniques, and environment-friendly cooking solutions that contribute to climate resilience and livelihood improvement.
Through the exposure visit to Bangladesh, participants from PEEDA and its local partner organizations learned how CCDB has been working on climate change and contributing to the climate change intervention sector. Now, it is expected that the visiting team members will use these in their own work areas and replicate and innovate for climate action. Besides, the visit will strengthen the partnership among the CCDB, PEEDA, and RECAP’s local partner organizations to achieve BftWโs climate goals in South Asia.
