Conducting the Midline Study of the Project “Reducing Pollution and Improving the Ecology of the Sundarbans Mangrove Forests and their Zones of Influence in Bangladesh”
Overview:
Rupantar is implementing the project “Reducing Pollution and Improving the Ecology of the Sundarbans Mangrove Forests and their Zones of Influence in Bangladesh”, co-funded by BMZ and Helvetas Germany. The project covers 17 sub-districts in the five coastal districts1 of Bangladesh called the Sundarbans Impact Zone (SIZ). The overall objective of the project is to sensitize the population of the Sundarbans Impact Zone to the pollution of the Sundarbans mangrove forests in Bangladesh and the associated consequences. Specifically, the project aims to create a youth network consisting of 530 members from the five districts of the SIZ, established to educate the local population about pollution prevention and the protection of the Sundarbans ecosystem, and to represent the interests and needs of resource users at the political level. The project began in June 2024 and will end in November 2026. At this midway stage, Rupantar intends to assess progress and impact, and is seeking qualified consultant(s) to conduct a Midline Study to guide the project’s final phase.
