Char Development and Settlement Project IV - IFAD
Welcome Popup disabled (visible only in edit mode)
The project is designed to develop improved and more secure livelihoods for poor people living on newly accreted coastal islands known locally as chars. It adopts an integrated approach to coastal zone development that will:
- Support water resource management on three of the five chars to protect land from tidal and storm surges
- Improve drainage and enhance land accretion
- Finance climate-resilient infrastructure for communications
- Improve access to markets, potable water and sanitation in all five chars
- Help 20,000 households obtain secure land titles
- Provide technical assistance to teach farmers to make better use of land resources
- Establish a team to disseminate lessons in coastal zone development and plan the future development of new chars.
Additional support will be provided to the most disadvantaged members of the community, including landless households and women, who will be particularly targeted in NGO activities and labour contracting.
