Empowering Women and Youth for Climate Resilience in Drought-Prone Jhenaidah
Currently, Earth Development Foundation (EDF) is implementing a project titled “Empowering Women and Youth for Climate Resilience in Drought-Prone Jhenaidah”, with the support of Japan Fund for Global Environment (JFGE) and Open Sesame.
The goal of this project is to empower women and youth in the drought areas of Jhenaidah district, Bangladesh, to address climate-induced vulnerabilities, particularly focusing on man-made climate vulnerability factors such as waterlogging, salinity intrusion, and altered agricultural practices. The project aims to build resilient communities capable of sustaining livelihoods in the face of environmental challenges.
