Latest Job Circular

Vacancy: 1

Job Context

• Project Background:
• Bangladesh faces acute climate vulnerability, with rising sea levels, erratic weather patterns, and frequent disasters that threaten lives and livelihoods. Existing disaster preparedness systems are largely top-down and infrastructure-focused, limiting their reach and adaptability. Many lower-profile or less frequently affected areas remain underprepared, resulting in severe impacts during sudden events like flash floods or tidal surges due to weak local capacity and limited institutional support.
• Despite these gaps, coastal communities, especially women and youth play critical roles in disaster response. They apply practical, experience-based strategies such as strengthening homes, managing water, monitoring embankments, and supporting vulnerable groups. However, their knowledge is often undocumented and excluded from formal Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) systems.
• People for People (P4P) initiative, which is a partnership between OXFAM and CODEC, addresses this by making women and youth Environmental Human Rights and Land Defenders and allowing structured peer learning. It focuses on:
• (1) protecting civic space through safe, trauma-aware engagement and leadership opportunities;
• (2) transferring proven local practices via accessible, low-literacy tools and storytelling;
• (3) integrating grassroots knowledge into institutional systems through participatory documentation and policy engagement.
• By elevating local knowledge, P4P promotes inclusive, community-driven, and cost-effective preparedness, fostering resilience and equitable, locally led climate adaptation.
