Background of the Project

From 2012-17, Habitat for Humanity International – Bangladesh (HFHI-B) has implemented urban slum renewal projects in 4 slums in Dhaka city. In the very last phase the project was implemented in 01 (one) slum of Dhaka city from 2016-2017. The project used a resilience framework to conduct a vulnerability assessment with the community, and through meetings, resident feedback and survey, create long-term Community Development Plans (CDP). Subsequently a range of infrastructure interventions and trainings are provided to increase the resilience of the slum.

HFHI-B continued to work with the CBOs / Community WASH Committees established under previous phases of the project, further building their capacity to manage their slum’s CDP, and ensuring greater sustainability for the WatSan and drainage facilities already constructed.

The project also supported the regular convening of the Urban INGO Forum which provides a valuable opportunity for INGOs to share knowledge and learning on their urban work. An annual Urban Dialogue was supported, providing a forum for interaction with a wider range of stakeholders including academia and government to progress the agenda of the Urban INGO Forum.
