Introduction :
Country: Bangladesh
Description of the Assignment: Bangladesh is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world, ranking 7th in the Global Long-Term Climate Risk Index. Cox’s Bazar remains one of the most disaster-prone districts in the country and is high exposure to natural hazards and extreme weather impacts including cyclones, torrential rains, landslides, flash floods, storm surges, and extreme temperature. Cox’s Bazar is also home to around one million Rohingya refugees since 2017. The Rohingya crisis has significantly increased the size of the population at risk, as well as the added pressures on the environment which undermine resilience. Location, climate, topography, and human interference makes the refugee camps and hosting areas more vulnerable to natural hazard and extreme weather impacts. From January to October 2020, a total of 155,834 people living in Rohingya camps ted by natural hazards and weather-related incidents (landslides and erosion, flash floods, storms, waterlogging, etc.). Landslides remain one of the most substantially damaging and recurrent hazards in Cox’s Bazar district and other Chittagong hill districts. The hilly terrain of Cox’s Bazar is consisting of poorly consolidated sand and silt deposits that are highly vulnerable to erosion processes, slope failures, and landslides during monsoon season. In the last decades, devastating landslides have repeatedly hit the hilly regions, typically due to excessive and prolonged rainfall in a short period, high population density, unplanned land use, and rampant hill cutting. Landslides caused over 500 deaths in the region in past decade, while the highest 162 fatalities were recorded in June 2017 due to extreme rainfall. The Rohingya refugee crisis has further exacerbated Cox's pre-existing landslide susceptibility of the Cox’s Bazar District due to removal of vegetation and hill cutting for refugee shelter, other facilities, and new roads. Henceforth, the Rohingya population, Most women and children are forced to live in landslide-vulnerable camps. Between May to July 2019, the landslides affected more than 50,000 refugees, 6,300 refugees were temporarily displaced, 10 fatalities have been reported and 42 refugees have been injured. Moreover, the hilly communities (many of them are also hosting the Rohingyas), predominantly poor and landless people settling in the foothills areas are also vulnerable to landslides. It is estimated that around a million people are currently living with landslide risks in Cox’s Bazar District, including Rohingya refugees, their host communities, and the urban hilly communities.UNDP has been implementing a landslide risk management project in Cox’s Bazar to manage the existing challenges and gaps available in landslide risk management in Cox’s Bazar context. Under this project, UNDP will implement several initiatives to develop the capacity of local government, disaster management committees, humanitarians, and first response agencies. Considering, UNDP is looking for a national consultant to develop a module and facilitate training on landslide risk management for local government, disaster management committees, and humanitarian staff.
Period of assignment/service (if applicable): 45 working days over a period of 04 months (15 May to 15 September 2023-Tentative)
