Description

Description

This condensed BDRCS and NLRC study explores how community engagement and accountability (CEA) drives effective locally led adaptation (LLA) in Khulna and Tangail, Bangladesh. Using surveys and focus groups, it shows that inclusive, transparent, and responsive engagement is central to building community ownership, trust, and sustained local leadership. The study also highlights key constraints and offers practical recommendations for embedding CEA in climate adaptation programming.
