• Participatory plans and community-led approaches
are strongly required to achieve objectives and
goals;
• Adequate technical and social knowledge and
skills are required to overcome challenges
• An integrated development approach is required to
overcome complex poverty and disaster
issues/situations;
• Adequate administrative support is strongly
required to meet targets on ground
• An earmarked policy is required to sustain project
achievements and replication in other locations for
wider impact and benefit for vulnerable
communities

FUTURE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COUNTRY
The tested ideas could help many millions of
vulnerable resource poor communities living in
fragile environment, particularly on the edge of
mighty rivers and Coast line
in
Bangladesh
Thus, external dependency of the communities could
reduce significantly and could develop them as
productive force for the nation
