Project Summary
The After Flood Economic Support: Waste to Wealth in Feni project focuses on post-flood economic recovery by transforming waste materials generated during floods into useful and marketable products. Running from February 2023 to December 2023, the initiative aims to support affected communities while promoting sustainable environmental practices.
Through organized waste collection, processing, and product development, the project converts flood-affected materials into reusable resources that can be integrated into local and external markets. This approach not only reduces environmental pollution but also creates new livelihood opportunities for flood-impacted communities.
Key project activities include the collection and segregation of flood-affected waste materials, the integration of technology such as IoT-based monitoring systems for efficient processing, and training programs that equip local residents with skills in sustainable production and small-scale enterprise management.
The project also focuses on market linkage development, helping communities connect their products with buyers and potential export opportunities. Continuous monitoring and evaluation ensure that the initiative achieves measurable economic, environmental, and social impact.
By combining technology, sustainability, and community empowerment, the project establishes a replicable model for post-disaster economic resilience and sustainable waste management in Bangladesh.
