Overview

Project Description

Following the completion of the comprehensive Multi-sectoral Need Assessment (MSNA) on Climate Change and Disaster Impact in Southern Areas of Bangladesh, DM WATCH LIMITED was awarded a subsequent assignment by the International Rescue Committee (IRC), funded by German Federal Foreign Office (GFFO), to enhance and disseminate the findings of this foundational study. The primary aim of this follow-up assignment was to provide a summarized, accessible version of the detailed MSNA report, focusing on creating an impactful, user-friendly format that would effectively communicate key insights to a broader audience. This project involved synthesizing extensive data, incorporating feedback, and designing an infographic-rich report to facilitate clear and engaging communication of complex climate and disaster impact findings. Additionally, DM WATCH LIMITED prepared presentation materials to support the dissemination of findings at a national level, thus amplifying the impact of the MSNA and aiding strategic decision-making for future climate- resilient initiatives.
