Adaptive Management Guidelines: Ganges Basin Development Challenge

Hossain, E. 2012. Adaptive Management Guidelines: Ganges Basin Development Challenge (Draft). Dhaka, Bangladesh: CPWF.

The goal of the Ganges BDC is ‘to reduce poverty, improve food security and strengthen livelihood resilience in coastal areas through improvement management, and more productive and diversified farm systems.’ Five inter-related projects address the BDC objective. The role of the Ganges Coordination and Change-Enabling project is to ensure that Projects 1-4 are well integrated into a program of research that ultimately delivers change – development outcomes and impacts. It therefore contributes to all BDC project goals through various actions. The adaptive management guideline is prepared considering the three major sections: a) Monitoring and Evaluation activities; b) Information & Communication, and; c) Capacity development.
