Funding proposal package for FP206

The RHL project targets 362,475 direct beneficiaries in the coastal districts of Satkhira, Khulna, Bagerhat, Barguna, Patuakhali, Bhola, and Cox’s Bazar. It focuses on three primary outcomes: reducing asset and life loss through the construction of 3,000 climate-resilient houses with raised plinths; enhancing livelihood resilience by promoting salinity-tolerant vegetable cultivation, goat/sheep rearing in slatted houses, and the establishment of a sustainable, hatchery-based crab supply chain; and improving local climate planning through the formation of 3,200 Climate Change Adaptation Groups (CCAGs). The project is implemented by the Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF) as both the Accredited Entity and Executing Entity, utilizing a blend of GCF grants and PKSF loans.

• The project targets seven coastal districts—Satkhira, Khulna, Bagerhat, Barguna, Patuakhali, Bhola, and Cox’s Bazar—due to their high exposure to sea level rise, salinity intrusion, and cyclones.
• The project will construct 3,000 climate-proof houses for the most vulnerable households, featuring raised plinths to protect against coastal flooding and tidal surges.
• To transition from unsustainable wild crab harvesting to a sustainable industry, the project will establish 50 micro-crab hatcheries to produce juvenile crabs.
• The project promotes the use of slatted houses for goat and sheep rearing to protect livestock from flooding and storm surges, specifically targeting women for these activities.
• A total of 3,200 Climate Change Adaptation Groups (CCAGs) will be formed, with a target of 80% female membership, to facilitate knowledge transfer and collective decision-making.
• The total project cost is USD 49.99 million, with USD 42.20 million requested as a grant from the GCF and USD 7.79 million provided as co-financing by PKSF (USD 6.6 million in loans and USD 1.19 million in-kind).
• The project aims to reach 362,475 direct beneficiaries and 770,050 indirect beneficiaries, with a target of at least 50% of direct beneficiaries being women.
• The project will support the planting of over 400,000 windbreak trees, specifically mangrove species, around 20,000 households to reduce storm and tidal surge impacts.
• The project will provide technical support and saline-tolerant seeds to 90,000 beneficiaries for homestead vegetable cultivation.
• The project will collaborate with public universities in Chattogram, Khulna, and Patuakhali, as well as the Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute, to improve laboratories for crab research.
