Community participation in mitigating climate change impacts on maternal, newborn, and child health in Bangladesh

Bangladesh is one of the most exposed countries in terms of climate vulnerability. In 2023, the Swiss NGO Enfants du Monde (EdM) and the Bangladeshi NGOs Eco-Social Development Organisation (ESDO) and Bangladesh Research Institute for Development (BRID), joined efforts to support the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW) to mitigate the impact of climate change on maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH), in the southern districts of Assasuni Sadar, Protapnagar and Anulia, affected by increasing salinity of water and severe heat waves.
