Jamuna River Sustainable Management Project 1

About this project

The proposed Project is the first major investment to be implemented under the Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100 (BDP2100) and is the first of a Series of Projects (SoP) to be implemented within the next 14 years.

Through this multisectoral approach, all four phases of disaster management—mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery—are supported to deal with flood and bank erosion. Total works will be limited only under Component 1, and the rest of the financing would be used for procurement of goods, O&M, and TA. Components may be implemented in different sections of the Jamuna River, within the 250 km stretch between Daikhowa and Aricha.(a) Component 1: Flood and riverbank erosion management. As part of the mitigation phase of disaster management, this component will invest in integrated green and grey infrastructure and institutions that oversee it. The proposed infrastructure and relevant works will help reduce the risk of riverbank erosion and flooding and protect the communities, by absorbing the energy of incoming water and controlling the river flow, with an added benefit of managing navigation channels. An innovative, cost-effective combination of natural systems and built so…
