The Netherlands assured Bangladesh of providing all kinds of support and assistance for implementation of its Delta Plan 2100, as the two countries are facing the common problems. “The Dutch cooperation in Bangladesh’s water sector development has long been continuing. We’ll also help implement Bangladesh’s Delta Plan 2100 by providing all sorts of support,” said Dutch Minister of Infrastructure and Environment. Her assurance came during a presentation of the Dutch Delta Approach at Grand Hotel Amrath Kurhaus in The Hague, the administrative capital of the Netherlands, in the presence of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The governments of Bangladesh and the Netherlands are working together to formulate a long-term plan for management of the Bangladesh delta, known as the Bangladesh Delta Plan (BDP) 2100. The formulation project is led by the General Economics Division (GED) of the Bangladesh Planning Commission. Having started in 2014, the project is expected to complete in September next year. Bangladesh is the world’s largest delta. Its rivers and floodplains, that account for 80 percent of the country, support life, livelihoods and the economy. Bangladesh, a rapidly developing country, faces major inter-related delta challenges in water safety, food security and socio-economic development and is prone to natural calamities such as flood, cyclone, and drought. Although the primary objective of consultations is to listen to stakeholders about the constraints they face on a day-to-day basis and the challenges in their area, they also serve the additional purpose of stakeholder sensitisation. Aiming to enable the government to address future challenges of delta management, the Delta Plan 2100 will develop a long-term vision of the Bangladesh Delta’s future.
