SUFAL II emphasizes strengthening knowledge and capacity of individuals and the community, so they are able to take early action with available forecast information. For that, the project developed a set of demonstration videos on early actions in consultation with local people, relevant government officials and reliable resources that can be undertaken by communities and households prior to the flood based on their own capacity. European Union Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO) funded Scaling up Forecast-based Action and Learning in Bangladesh (SUFAL II) is a consortium led by CARE Bangladesh with Concern Worldwide and technical partner RIMES. The project aims to build the capacity of institutions and communities to implement Forecast-based Action (FbA) to reduce the loss of life, assets, and livelihoods on an anticipated hazard in monsoon flood-prone north-western Char areas, and in flashflood and lightning prone north-eastern Haor areas.

African savanna elephants get the most attention, but there are also African forest elephants and Asian elephants. Recently I had the chance to catch up with Nilanga Jayasinghe about the attributes that make Asian elephants unique, the threats they face, and how we can all be allies in helping to save them.

There is an unequal power dynamic between the exploiter and the victim, with the exploiter holding the power.

At Comet-ME, we believe that energy, water, and the Internet are basic rights for all people, and no less for those living under military occupation. Area C of the West Bank, the agricultural heartland of a future Palestinian state, is home to about 180 Palestinian herding communities. Most of the area, however, has been allocated for the benefit of the Israeli settlements. Indigenous Palestinian communities face restrictions on land, demolitions, and military and settler violence, and are denied access to all infrastructure. Comet-ME has provided off-grid infrastructure and services 💡💧🛜 to these communities since 2009, serving 130 communities to date. Empowering communities, supporting livelihoods, facilitating education, strengthening climate resilience, connecting people to the world, and helping communities remain and live in dignity on their lands. https://lnkd.in/dMUMi-Tx
