The “Emergency Humanitarian Support to Flash Flood Affected People in Haor Areas in Kishoreganj and Sunamganj Districts” project was initiated in response to the devastating flash floods that struck northeastern Bangladesh. These floods, caused by intense monsoon rains and upstream water surges, inundated vast areas of the haor wetlands, affecting over 2.1 million people and displacing thousands.
Implemented by Efforts for Rural Advancement (ERA) in collaboration with Oxfam, the project aimed to provide immediate cash support to the most vulnerable communities in the affected areas. This was conditionalal cash support. The affected can fulfil their argent needs. Moreover, the project focused on raising awareness about disaster preparedness to enhance resilience against future calamities.
By addressing immediate needs, the project contributed to alleviating the suffering of flood-affected populations and strengthening the capacity of local communities to cope with natural disasters.
