This study was conducted as part of the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative’s Program on Resilient Communities. The program partnered with Root Change to analyze network data.

This network analysis was undertaken to support strengthening coordination and collaboration among actors working on climate change adaptation and disaster resilience in Bagerhat. As a first step toward understanding coordination and collaboration among these actors, HHI conducted a network analysis. This network analysis research had two goals:

1. To understand the relationships among actors supporting climate change adaptation and disaster resilience work among coastal communities in Bagerhat district, Bangladesh; and,
2. To develop a representation of the disaster risk and resilience system in Bagerhat through a depiction of the structure and characteristics of the relationships among the actors that make up the system.
