The document discusses disaster risk reduction (DRR) initiatives in Bangladesh funded by DIPECHO. It notes that volunteers trained under previous DIPECHO projects provided first response assistance during landslides in 2007. The current multi-hazard DIPECHO project aims to enhance community resilience over 18 months in 10 districts. Key goals include improving community-based disaster response and developing DRR models. The project coordinates with government agencies and other partners to strengthen DRR mainstreaming. Coordination with other DIPECHO partners in South and Southeast Asia is also discussed to promote advocacy and learning across the region.
