CARE is one of the world's leading international humanitarian and development organisations, committed to helping people in poor communities improve their lives and alleviate poverty. Founded in 1945, CARE is working across 104 countries to fight global poverty and marginalization. CARE has been active in Bangladesh since 1949 being one of the largest country offices of CARE. CARE works to help people achieve social and economic well-being, while being among the best in their fields. CARE put women and girls at the center of our work because we know that we cannot overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities. CARE Bangladesh is currently shifting towards a program approach, where it has developed longer-term impact visions to have more sustainable changes in the lives of the extreme poor and marginalized.

CARE Bangladesh is implementing the Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies’ (MACP) “Promoting Disaster Ready Inclusive Preparedness towards Adaptation (PRODRIPTA/প্রদৃপ্ত).” This three-year program aims to foster inclusive community preparedness and resilience through the combination of disaster-ready communities and accountable institutions in the northern char district of Gaibandha and the central coast district of Patuakhali. The MACP’s PRODRIPTA/প্রদৃপ্ত has a multifaceted approach to make a meaningful, measurable, and sustainable difference in a defined period of time in the eight (08) selected unions of Gaibandha Sadar and Sundarganj of Gaibandha and Rangabali and Kalapara of Patuakhali Districts:

The MACP’s PRODRIPTA/প্রদৃপ্ত aims to support around 22,000 people directly, where the overall impact group will be 176,620 people i.e. the whole population in the selected unions through structural and non-structural, innovative, and sustainable interventions in collaboration with relevant partners and stakeholders. In achieving its ultimate purpose, the program will undertake activities to enable the communities to adapt to shocks & stresses, make the DRR institutions accountable to local communities and provide financing for community actions, and support communities to sustain adaptive capacity through strengthened, locally led learning, networking and advocacy. In its endeavor to foster community resilience, the project also has a provision of an emergency fund to respond to both anticipated and unanticipated crises so that communities distress and incurred loss and damages are adequately addressed and the result of the program are sustained.
