Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100

Penjabaran dari 9apps Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100

Bangladesh is a rapidly growing country and hopeful in reaching middle income status by 2021. The government of Bangladesh takes a pro-active approach in addressing major challenges related to adaptive delta management and sustainable development. The government has approved the Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100 with the aim to ensure water and food security, as well as economic progress. The plan is expected to boost the country’s GDP growth by another 1.5 percent by 2030.
The Knowledge and Information Portal was developed during the preparation of Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100 to provide information services to support planners and decision makers in participatory and interactive planning and decision making processes. It contains many data layers on water resources, disaster management, spatial planning and land use, environmental management, food security, economics, finance and other basic data. The Portal will be regularly updated with recent data and information. The updating will be done under the Support to Implementation of Bangladesh Deltaplan (SIBDP) project. After completion of SIBDP project, GED can update the portal with the assistance of CEGIS. Gathering geographical data layers, studies, policy documents and other technical reports is thus a continuous process.
A number of knowledge tools were developed under the BDP2100 to support planning, decision making and the implementation process for Sustainable Delta Management. In addition to the previous work of knowledge portal development, through this project, an App (location) based information Services tool to support the implementation of the BDP-2100 will be developed.
Nowadays, it is common that people own smartphones and other internet-usable devices. The number of mobile phone users, ICT facilities and internet connections are rapidly expanding in Bangladesh. The use of mobiles as information service tools is also gaining popularity. Using mobile applications as a means to updating information services such as the knowledge portal can become an innovative solution, and through smart data analysis, we can eventually provide information to the wide range of planners, decision makers, planning implementers, specialists, researchers, media and the general public. Innovative app will allow users to access information and engage them in participatory and interactive planning process, ensuring quick and efficient sharing of information and decision-making.
The app will be developed on the basis of data layers in the Knowledge and Information Portal of Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100. The app will deliver location specific information about water availability, temperature, flood risk, soil parameters, crops, agricultural practices, and also spatial planning and climate risk and vulnerability related information. The app will further demonstrate the potential of using the information services and will strengthen or facilitate the BDP implementation.
