All the components of the Project contain program elements that will expand space and opportunities for the poor to change their conditions for the better and to build resilience to withstand natural shocks. The project will enhance the capacity of vulnerable communities, local government institutions and civil society organizations for planning and financing climate change adaptation solutions in selected climate vulnerable areas. By achieving the objectives and results, the project will contribute to the reduction of poverty and vulnerability in Bangladesh. Accordingly, the project is aligned with SDG 1 # End poverty in all its forms everywhere.
