• Participatory plans and community-led approaches are strongly required to achieve objectives and goals;
• Adequate technical and social knowledge and skills are required to overcome challenges
• An integrated development approach is required to overcome complex poverty and disaster issues/situations;
• Adequate administrative support is strongly required to meet targets on ground
• An earmarked policy is required to sustain project achievements and replication in other locations for wider impact and benefit for vulnerable communities

FUTURE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COUNTRY
The tested ideas could help many millions of vulnerable resource poor communities living in fragile environment, particularly on the edge of
mighty rivers and Coast line in
Bangladesh
Thus, external dependency of the communities could reduce significantly and could develop them as
productive force for the nation
