Start with Satkhira.

Water, homes, livelihoods and local coordination face the same coastal conditions.

Seasonal water exposure · Bangladesh. Not GLOW project evidence.
Water

Dry-season reliability, storage and maintenance need to work together.

Home

Low plinths and waterlogging increase exposure.

Income

Recovery depends on workable inputs and market access.

Participation

Women-led groups need clear roles in assets and local decisions.

Programme geography

Confirm the first cluster before funding.

Community and asset sites still require confirmation.
