🌿 Quarterly Embankment Protection Group (EPG) Meetings Successfully Held 🌿
From 27 August to 02 September 2026, under the Gender Responsive Disaster Risk Reduction in Bangladesh (GRDRRIB) Project, five quarterly Embankment Protection Group (EPG) meetings were successfully conducted in Paddapukur, Shyamnagar, Satkhira.
During the meetings, EPG members reviewed the current condition of local embankments, discussed existing risks and challenges, and identified community-led measures to strengthen embankment protection. Members also reflected on their roles and responsibilities in maintaining embankments and enhancing disaster preparedness to reduce the impacts of climate-related hazards.
These quarterly meetings provide an important platform for community members to share experiences, monitor progress, and strengthen collective action towards building resilient coastal communities.
💚 Strong communities begin with collective action and shared responsibility.
