ActionAid Bangladesh is working in disaster risk management with an unique, inclusive and responsive approach. It emphasises the role of partnership and involves participation from multi-level stakeholders, spanning from community to national level. With the aim to specially empower the most vulnerable groups of disaster, we introduced ‘ Women and Young People-Led Disaster Management’ approach in 2013. As part of state level advocacy, we have contributed to national Disaster Management Act in 2012, National Disaster Management Policy in 2015 and in Standing Orders on Disaster in 2019 in Bangladesh. We also have successfully initiated the process of establishing the first ever Private Sector Emergency Operations Centre in Bangladesh and South Asia.
