Terms of Reference (ToR) for Mid Term Programme Review (MTR)
Proyash II Project

Background

Save the Children Bangladesh through its urban resilience project, Proyash has been working to increase the capacity of women, children, schools and local communities in urban slums on risk reduction and resilience so that they have clear understanding on urban hazards, impacts and possible solutions. Considering the vacuum that there is no formal set-up in urban areas for effective disaster management, Proyash Phase II (July 2018- June 2023) is working to develop and train community-based disaster management committees (DMCs), women, children and other community members. It is to be noted that by this time SC has formally set up agreements with government agencies at different levels to exchange expertise on risk reduction and resilience and collaborative efforts for the cities. To sustain the effort, the local DMCs and groups has been trained up and linked with the city corporation and municipalities.

The project is working with local partner organizations, city corporations and municipality, Fire Service and Civil Defense( FSCD), BGD Armed Forces Division, Department of Disaster Management(DDM), Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief (MoDRM), Ministry of Education (MoE), Ministry of Primary and Mass Education (MoPME), Directorate of Primary Education (DPE), Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education (DSHE), Urban Development Directorate (UDD), Bangladesh Institute of Planners (BIP), Capital Development Authority (RAJUK), local government, local CBOs to increase preparedness and resilience for potential urban risks at Dhaka, Savar and Chattogram to cope with shocks and stresses.

SC Bangladesh piloted Proyash 1 between 2015 to 2018 aiming to increase the capacities of women and children living in urban slums, local government, and the private sector on disaster risk reduction. Phase 1 allowed us to learn many important things about urban DRR, and we plan to build on these learnings during phase 2.

• 2nd Phase Project Duration: 5 Years (July 2018 - June 2023)
