Community Based Disaster Preparedness (CBDP)

5-year Strategic Plan (1998-2002) Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRC)

Project Scope: The proposed five-year community-based disaster preparedness project will engage with

vulnerable communities in developing self-sufficiency to withstand or prevent future disasters. This means

transforming the Bangladesh Red Crescent Society from a largely centralised re-active relief operative to a

pro-active disaster preparedness and relief organisation with operational capacity at the District level. This

project proposes to build capacity at the National Headquarter, the district Unit and the Community level.

Project Goal: To develop the capacity of the most vulnerable people and the organisation in disaster

preparedness and relief and to contribute to national and local co-ordination of disaster management.

Goals and objectives

Goals are broad statements that describe the overall purpose of the project. Objectives are

much more concrete. Remember to use the SMART guidelines for writing objectives.

These are:

• Specific

• Measurable

• Achievable

• Realistic

• Time-bound

After the project scope, goals and objectives have been defined, the next step is to develop a

more detailed project description and strategy that answers the following questions:

• What aspects of the problem will this project address? What aspects won't it address?

• Who will benefit from this project?

• What needs will be met?

• What will the beneficiaries receive?

• What is expected of the beneficiaries?

• What is the general strategy that this project will pursue?

• What is the expected outcome resulting from the project?

• What is the methodology for implementation for the project and each project

component?
