Description:
In collaboration with the NDE of Bangladesh and the TA implementors (Green Technology Center, Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology and Glory & Tech.), the CTCN TA provided (1) review and analysis of existing affordable climate-resilient housing technologies and desalinization technologies at household levels, (2) recommendation of technology solutions for climate-resilient housing and desalinization at household levels applicable to coastal Bangladesh, (3) training for enhancing capacity of communities and relevant stakeholders, (4) identification of possible sites for a future pilot project on deployment and up-scaling of the proposed technology solutions and (5) development of a draft concept note for up-scaling financial investment.

Outcome:
- Targeted communities will gain access to pure drinking water and safe houses during cyclones, storm surges, and coastal flooding. - As the result of building safe houses, the poor will no longer need to shift to other houses in times of storms, cyclones, nor will they need to rebuild or repair houses every year.
