SAJIDA Foundation hosted a Research Dissemination event, ‘Building Climate Resilience: Women as Agents of Change', in Dhaka on 21 August 2025. The programme brought together researchers, policymakers, representatives from embassy and the govt., practitioners, and community members to explore local, community-led solutions for food security and climate adaptation in Bangladesh’s most vulnerable regions.

The findings emphasized that locally driven solutions yield the strongest outcomes when we

• Elevate and integrate women’s leadership into formal adaptation planning.
• Expand the Farmers’ Commons model for collective access to land, finance, and markets.
• Invest in local value chains and processing to strengthen rural economies and reduce losses.
• Provide flexible financing tailored to smallholders and local entrepreneurs.
• Institutionalize community-driven adaptation through stronger local governance partnerships.
