Historique

The main objective of the assignment is to Capacity enhancement of the planners of UDD through the training on Geographic Information System (GIS) for capturing and modeling spatial information through the integration of risk information into urban planning for developing risk resilient physical plan and action area plan.

CDMP II (2010-2014) is a vertical and horizontal expansion of its Phase I activities designed based on the achievements, lessons learned and the strong foundation laid during CDMP I by continuing the processes initiated, deriving actions from the lessons learned, utilizing knowledge resources generated and knowledge products published. The approach of CDMP II is to channel support through government and development partners, civil society and NGOs into a people-oriented disaster management and risk reduction partnership. That partnership will promote cooperation, provide coordination, rank priority programmes and projects, and allocate resources to disaster management activities, risk reduction activities and climate change adaptation activities in Bangladesh.

Within six outcomes of CDMP-II, urban risk reduction is a potential thematic area (Outcome 3) that comprise of reducing risk for city populations through structural and non-structural interventions, improved awareness of natural hazard events and the piloting of urban community risk reduction methodologies that targeted the extreme poor. This area covers the assessment and management of earthquake, landslide, hydrometorological and anthropological hazards in urban context. The objective of urban risk reduction initiatives of CDMP-II is to institutionalize the integration of risk information with all development projects for ensuring a risk resilient built environment.

Urban Development Directorate (UDD) is the mandated organization of the Government of Bangladesh to conduct land use and physical planning of the municipal area of the country. CDMP already signed MoU to support UDD for enhancing its capacity in various manners to develop risk resilient physical planning of the municipalities. One of the important tools to extract the physical information and producing the land use and physical plan based on suitability analysis of the landform (geology, geomorphology, engineering geology) using the Geographic Information System (GIS). UDD has recently less capable on handling the GIS for capturing the information and conducting the spatial analysis for map-out the suitable land for the extension of the township area. Hence, CDMP planned to recruit a short term consultant to provide GIS training to the planners initially for three men months which can be further extended based-on need and work plan of the UDD. The consult shall sit in the UDD office of Dhaka.
