State Minister's Visit to GCA Project in Bangladesh

Backed by the Green Climate Fund, the project 'Enhancing Adaptive Capacities of Coastal Communities, especially Women, to Cope with Climate Change-Induced Salinity in Bangladesh' (known locally as the Gender-responsive Coastal Adaptation, or GCA, project) is empowering communities in Bangladesh, especially women, as ‘change-agents’ to plan, implement, and manage resilient livelihoods and drinking water solutions in the face of worsening climate change impacts on their freshwater resources. 

"The availability of drinking water brought about thru this project will save ppl in this area, especially the women," said Honorable State Minister during her recent visit to our Gender-Responsive Climate Adaptation project to inaugurate rainwater harvesting systems to ensure safe water for their livelihoods.
