Climate-Resilient Road Capacity Building in Nepal and Bangladesh
Capacity building for climate-resilient road transport with ADPC
For the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC), with International Development Association (IDA) funding, SWEROAD supported the road agencies of Nepal and Bangladesh in building capacity for climate-resilient transport.
01
Challenge
The national road agencies needed support to apply climate-resilience guidelines and to strengthen existing project designs with climate-resilient measures. In Nepal, a plan was needed to scale up bio-engineering and nature-based solutions (NbS) for protecting roadside slopes against landslides.
02
Solution
The assignment combined national and regional training on climate-resilient guidelines; reviews of existing project designs with recommendations for climate-resilient measures; drafting of strategic action plans for the climate resilience of rural roads in Bangladesh and local roads in Nepal; and a scale-up plan for adaptive bio-engineering and NbS slope stabilisation in Nepal.
03
Outcomes
Outputs delivered
- A workshop on preparing the bio-engineering/NbS scale-up plan for roadside slope protection in Nepal was held in December 2024.
- A technical review of Ratu Bridge in Nepal, including a site inspection, was reported in April 2025 as part of the design-review work.
