Through the Lens of CDMP is a photostory that documents the Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP) in Bangladesh and its efforts to shift disaster management towards disaster risk reduction. Over the past 15 years, CDMP has strengthened national capacity for disaster management, implemented community-level risk reduction projects, and increased resilience. Key achievements include establishing disaster management committees, training volunteers, implementing early warning systems, building climate-resilient infrastructure, and mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into policy and education.

- 3. Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme The Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP) is a flagship collaborative initiative of the Bangladesh Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief (MoDMR) and UNDP. Developed in 2004, and scaled up to CDMP-II in 2010. The core objective of CDMP is to strengthen national capacity to manage risks related to disasters, as well as the immediate response and the recovery efforts. It is done through a comprehensive approach that focuses on all hazards, all phases of disaster management, and is involving all relevant stakeholders. The first phase laid the foundations for institutionalizing a risk redution framework and Phase II (CDMP II) is designed to further expand this pioneering approach. CDMP’s activities include knowledge building and policy support with and through the government, as well as community level interventions to reach the most vulnerable section of the population. Communities are now integrating disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation measures and are more resilient. Disaster Management has changed drastically with CDMP driving the way. When natural disasters occur, communities at the local and government level are equipped with training, tools and protocols on how to cope with these disasters. Communities, governments & The holistic approach of CDMP has allowed for many of the members captured in these photographs to live better and safer lives. Many of them with protective and adaptive capabilities to deal with these disasters.volunteers are all more aware on how to endure Disasters with minimum damages, and rebuild quickly, minimizing negative impacts.
