Gaibandha River Erosion Project

Video loading. If the video does not appear, consult our support page for video.

This five-year Practical Action project aims to address the development needs of the communities, who have been displaced by river erosion and those who are living under the threat of being eroded in the near future.

Gaibandha is located in northern Bangladesh at the confluence of the two major rivers, which makes the area vulnerable to floods and river erosion. Frequent disasters make life here much more difficult than the rest of country, by depriving people of land, employment opportunities and basic service facilities.
