Impact of Strategic Objectives on Poverty Reduction and Women's Advancement
3.1.1
Institutionalising disaster management system, creation of professionalism and increasing the
capability
Impact on Poverty Reduction: Disaster risks have been mitigated through early warning signals,
necessary training and increasing public awareness activities, strengthening of volunteer forces and
implementation of disaster risk reduction programmes. The capacity of the poor and at risk community to
face disaster is also improved through partnerships and coordination of efforts among various ministries,
agencies and development partners. Community empowerment, capacity building, response management
605
are strengthened to reduce the loss of lives and properties caused by natural disasters. Socio-economic
security of the poor people is strengthening, creating positive impact on reduction of poverty.
Impact on Women’s Advancement: In disaster prone areas, the capability of women to face natural
disasters has been enhanced due to their involvement in disaster awareness activities and livelihood
training. As a result, poverty and disaster risks are reduced.
3.1.2
Construction, extension and up-gradation of infrastructure to reduce disaster risks
Impact on Poverty Reduction:with the construction of flood/cyclone centres in disaster prone areas, poor
people take shelter in these centres with their belongings. Through the construction of disaster resistant
houses and raised grounds (matir killa) people are protecting their assets by transferring their livestock to
these places. Their crops are saved because of the fast discharge of water through bridges /culverts. This
will have an impact on the reduction of poverty.
Impact on Women’s Advancement:An effective transport system plays a positive role in rescuing people,
especially women and children during disasters. The lives of women and children are also saved by taking
shelters during floods and cyclones. The overall benefits of communications and transport accelerate
women’s advancement.
3.1.3
Reducing the sufferings and disaster risks for vulnerable people and people in danger
Impact on Poverty Reduction: The poverty of a minimum of 65-70 lakh peopleis being reduced every
year through implementation of Employment Generation Programme for the Poorest (EGPP), Test Relief
(TR) Programme and Food for Work (FFW) Programme and other programmes during agricultural slack
seasons and in disaster affected areas. Similarly, by getting instant food relief under VGF programme to
face disaster shocks the sufferings of 25 lakh poor people are eased every year. In addition, distributions of
disaster reliefs immediately after the shocks such as GR Food, GR Cash, Sarees, Lungis, Blankets, CI
Sheets, and House Building Grants etc. help the affected people to overcome losses and pain.
Impact on Women’s Advancement: At least 30% of the beneficiaries are women under targeted and
women friendly programmes. The poor and destitute women are getting preferential employment, their
income is increasing and their access to food improved. Women, children and handicapped people are
shifted to safe shelters on a priority basis at the beginning of any great disaster and they are given food
and medicines. As a result, their social security and capacity to face disaster have been strengthened.

Recent Achievements: The Disaster Management Act - 2012has been promulgated. Construction and
maintenance management policy for cyclone shelters has been approved earlier. New warning signals and
public disaster messages on cyclone and weather have been published. A program for sending emergency
607
disaster messages in a short time to disaster prone people through cell phones has been undertaken and
under this program pilot projects have been implemented in the district of Cox's Bazar and Sirajgonj. New
chapters on disaster risk reduction program and emergency humanitarian assistance, fire, earthquake and
tsunami have been included in the Standing Order on Disaster (SOD). The National Work Plan-2010-2015
on disaster management has been prepared. In addition, arrangements have been made to send disaster
warnings and risk reduction messages through IVR and SMS. In the last three years, under the ultra-poor
employment program a total 1987 lakh unemployed ultra-poor rural workers were given 80 days of
employment; one third of them were women.
