Bangladesh Urban Disaster Mitigation Project (BUDMP) Click here to view the project location maps The Bangladesh Urban Disaster Mitigation Project (BUDMP) under the USAID's Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) supported Asian Urban Disaster Mitigation Program (AUDMP) has been implemented by CARE Bangladesh to explore methods to reduce the vulnerability of urban populations to floods in two secondary cities in Bangladesh through flood mitigation measures. It includes non-structural or minor structural measures that could be undertaken by communities to mitigate the effects of floods. The specific BUDMP activities are determined by the various stakeholders (target communities, local government officials, municipalities, CARE, CARE's partner NGOs, etc.) based on a thorough needs assessment. The BUDMP commenced from March 2000. The project is implemented in two cities, namely, Tongi and Gaibandha, which are regularly affected by floods. The project aims at active participation of municipalities and local communities.
