“Increase the resilience and security against hazards, food insecurity, and gender-based violence of Kalapara targeted communities.”

1. Background

Bangladesh, the world's largest delta, is frequently cited as one of the most vulnerable nations due to the impacts of climate variability and change. According to the global climate risk index, Bangladesh is ranked among the top 10 countries at risk of climate disasters globally. The Kalapara coastal areas of Bangladesh are recognized as the most vulnerable zone, which faces frequent climate change induced hazards and disasters. Despite being the lowest contributor to global total GHG emissions, the coastal communities are the worst impacted by their exposure to vulnerabilities. World Concern believes this is utter injustice that triggers inequalities and multiple environmental, social, and economic vulnerabilities, especially for the poor and marginal communities. World Concern Bangladesh strives to fight this injustice and inequity to uphold Climate Justice for the people and the landscape.

The PARIBARTAN Project, implemented by World Concern Bangladesh (WCB), has been operational since June 2022 in Kalapara sub-district of Patuakhali, a climate-vulnerable coastal region in Bangladesh. The project strengthens the resilience of communities against hazards—including climate change impacts—by addressing food insecurity and gender-based violence (GBV), and promoting disaster preparedness and adaptive livelihoods.

The project focuses on four of the most vulnerable unions in Kalapara. These areas are plagued by extreme weather events, saline intrusion, and cyclical floods that threaten livelihoods and exacerbate food insecurity. The project supports these communities through alternative income generation activities (IGAs) and sustainable coping strategies.

World Concern Bangladesh is seeking a consultancy firm or an individual consultant for a consultancy assignment. We invite proposals from interested firms and individuals to undertake this assignment.
