This APFED project is aimed to collect and display various proven climate sensitive technologies in an integrated way to reduce vulnerabilities of the climate change impacts on rural poor. The project introduced, demonstrated and helped adopt the technologies that provide multimode benefits to the community and poor farmers in mitigating and interacting with the environmental challenges in a more proactive manner. The goal of the project was to demonstrate technologies through establishing a technology park, create enabling environment for easy access and develop knowledge and awareness regarding climate change and the coping strategies using appropriate technologies. The project was implemented in two different locations of Bangladesh - South West (Jessore) and North West (Dinajpur) regions of Bangladesh.
