Local Government Initiative on Climate Change (LoGIC) is a multi-donor collaborative initiative of GoB, UNDP, UNCDF, the European Union (EU), Sweden and Denmark. It aims to enhance the capacity of vulnerable communities, Local Government Institutions and civil society organizations for planning and financing climate change adaptation solutions in selected climate-vulnerable areas. This project was initially designed for 4 years and based on an independent assessment and success of initial results; the project was extended up to June 30, 2023, for 2 years. To sustain the results and scale up the LoGIC model nationally to innovate and institutionalize the climate financing model across Bangladesh the development partners signed an agreement to extend the project for two years from June 2023 to June 2025, also extended the project working area in two districts of the Chattogram Hill Tracts (CHT), Rangamati and Bandarban. The local Government Division is the implementing lead of the project in partnership with UNDP-UNCDF and UNCDF.
LoGIC will support the most vulnerable 500,000 households based in hard-to-reach areas in 94 unions of 29 Upazila in 9 districts of Bangladesh. By achieving the objectives and results, the project will contribute to the reduction of poverty and climate vulnerability in Bangladesh. During the two-year bridging/extension phase a project proposal to be designed to submit to Green Climate Fund (GCF) in close collaboration with National Designated Authority (NDA) to harness the international funding for scaling up the model nationwide and to all climate stress areas.
• The main objective of the LoGIC project is to improve and inclusive local-level planning and a strengthened financing mechanism for community-based climate change adaptation solutions through local governments.
• The project will address the climate change impact in Bangladesh and intends to enhance the capacity of vulnerable communities, LGI and CSOs for planning and financing climate change adaptation solutions in the selected climate-vulnerable districts in coastal areas, wetlands and flood-prone areas.
UNDP-UNCDF/LoGIC through its proposed intervention keeps the salience of gender, youth, ethnicity, and disability in devising its plan for action without assuming a particular best practice fits all. Women’s roles in piloting and championing locally led solutions, peer learning, and internal reflection for local and national level adaptation are expected to bring highly substantial value from UNDP-UNCDF/LoGIC towards enhancing resilience. LoGIC will foster a generation of new revenue streams for the beneficiaries by the inclusion of private sectors. This will include helping the private sector penetrate through resilient livelihood opportunities like sesame cultivation, edible oil manufacturing and crab cultivation. Private investment in resilience or adaptation does not follow a straightforward mechanism and is dependent upon the Bangladesh context, needing actions at all fronts.
