Jamuna-Meghna River Erosion Mitigation Project

Strengthen institutional capacity for adaptive and cost-effective design and implementation of riverbank erosion and management. The Bangladesh Water Development Board's (BWDB) institutional capacity has been strengthened for implementing cost-effective riverbank erosion mitigation. To this end, Guidelines for Riverbank Protection were developed under the project and approved by BWDB's management. This is treated as a knowledge product of ADB. The lesson from this has also been replicated regionally in a similar project funded by ADB in Assam, India.
