Key Recommendations for Disaster Risk Reduction Mainstreaming into Post Disaster Emergency Response in the North Western Part of Bangladesh

From December 2012 to July 2013, three NGOs from the National Alliance for Risk Reduction and Response Initiatives consortium (Solidarités International, Islamic Relief and Oxfam) implemented a Food Security response after flash floods that occurred in the North Western districts of Bangladesh.

The response focused on cash for work to support affected households in covering their basic food needs as well as repairing and strengthening community infrastructure. Vulnerable people that were unable to work received unconditional cash grants.

This brief report presents the main findings and recommendations extracted from the final evaluation.
