Project Details
Urban Resilience for Marginal Inhabitants (URMI) Project has implemented its activities in Sirajganj pourasova. This project is funded by the Climate Bridge Fund (CBF). CBF is a trust fund established by BRAC with support from the Government of Germany through KfW. Therefore, the Project Baseline survey is ideal to initiate in the 1st year of the implementation phase, where the study team will work in 16 slums in Sirajganj Municipalities for conducting the baseline. The End Line Evaluation seeks to gather information on the project's progress, processes, and lessons learned, including any potential sustainability plans. It will also review the project's design for climate resilience, its scope, current implementation status, and its capacity to meet objectives. Additionally, it will compile and analyze lessons learned, challenges encountered, and successful practices observed during implementation to inform future programming strategies.
Major challenges to people living in slums are basic services (water, sanitation, education, health, electricity, social safety net etc.), and livelihoods. Flooding and water logging are the common phenomena that affect the population living in slums and low-income communities. Lack of employment opportunities drives the population towards extreme poverty. The Urban Resilience for Marginal Inhabitants in Sirajganj (URMI) project has been implemented from 16th August 2022 and it will end in 15th August 2024. The Project has been working in 16 communities of 5 wards (4,5,6,7& 8) of Sirajganj Municipality. The project aims to Improve COVID-19 resilience along with livelihood conditions of 30,000 extremely poor including climate migrants in 16 urban slums of Sirajganj Pourashava. At this point, the project wants to carry out an end-line evaluation to gain an understanding of the existing state of the project, as well as to record the impact and provide recommendations for potential future impact. The post-disaster situation of Sirajganj was intolerable especially towards the poor and the extremely poor people. They had no option to borrow money with a low level of interest to reconstruct their assets after a disaster. Often, the plinths of houses, water and sanitation facilities have to be rebuilt and repaired urgently after floods, but they had no source of monetary flow to support this process.
