Bangladesh Joint Needs Assessment Report
PDF 784kb | Published in September 2011
Heavier than usual rains during the end of July and early August 2011 resulted in flooding in many areas of Bangladesh. In the south-western districts of Satkira, Khulna and Jessore, flood waters did not recede and potentially significant humanitarian needs in South-west Bangladesh were identified.
On 25th August, the Disaster Management Bureau (DMB), Ministry of Food & Disaster Management, estimated that over 800,000 people in Satkhira district were affected.[1] ECB Project partner agencies with other INGOs contributing to humanitarian response in Bangladesh determined that a joint humanitarian needs assessment of areas in the south-west of Bangladesh affected by prolonged waterlogging would assist planning for relief and recovery response, supplementing initial rapid response assessments.[2] The objectives of the joint assessment were:
- To provide a shared overview of the situation in all affected areas of the south west
- To identify immediate humanitarian needs that were not addressed
- To understand recovery needs of affected people
[1] DMIC, DMB, Summary of “Weather Flood Situation”, from wed24.Aug-2011 to Thu-25-Aug-2011, www.dmb.gov.bd. At this stage around 500 families were mentioned as affected in Jessore and no information reported in Khulna.
