One in every five residents in the Bangladeshi city of Narayanganj lives below the poverty line. The city is home to approximately 95 slum clusters and is frequently flooded by heavy rains, leading to life grinding to a halt and residents falling sick from polluted water. However, this is set to change as GCA, with the support of Global Affairs Canada, is facilitating the development of People’s Adaptation Plans, which respond to these challenges and are part of the Asian Development Bank’s US$ 155 million Narayanganj Green and Resilient Urban Development Project.
