NETZ Partnership for Development and Justice (NETZ) is a non-governmental charitable organisation registered in both Germany and Bangladesh. Since 1989, NETZ, in collaboration with its local partner organisations, has supported self-help initiatives in the areas of education, human rights, and climate resilient livelihoods.

Due to its geophysical conditions and socio-economic context, Bangladesh is widely recognised as one of the country’s most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Natural disasters, climate related hazards and extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, heatwaves and cyclones have increased markedly in both frequency and intensity over recent decades. These developments have had far reaching adverse effects on agricultural production, food security, education, public health and housing. At the same time, increasing pressure on natural resources is contributing to a rise in local conflicts, with serious implications for the human rights of marginalised communities. People living in extreme poverty are disproportionately affected, as they possess fewer assets and have more limited adaptive capacities. Effective and locally appropriate approaches to disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation remain insufficiently developed and implemented.

In response, NETZ and its partner organisations are developing a new programme aimed at addressing the impacts of climate change in highly affected regions, while also promoting climate protection measures. The programme seeks to sustainably reduce hunger and extreme poverty among households in remote floodplain areas, while addressing the structural marginalisation and vulnerability of indigenous communities and women in northern Bangladesh. A central objective of the programme is to strengthen the capacities of these groups to cope with and adapt to climate related risks, while enabling them to effectively represent and safeguard the rights and interests of their families and communities.

To establish a solid foundation for the conceptual development of the planned program, a feasibility study will be conducted. This study will evaluate the feasibility of the proposed intervention by analyzing its validity, alignment with the needs of the target groups, and consideration of all potential opportunities and risks. In addition, the study will evaluate the intervention against the OECD DAC criteria, namely relevance, coherence, efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability.

The primary users and beneficiaries of the feasibility study results are the local implementing organizations: MJSKS, Pollisree and NETZ. They will use the findings and recommendations to refine and strengthen the programme design. The feasibility study will be submitted to the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) along with the program proposal.
