Mid line (Monsoon Flood) and Baseline (Flash Flood) Study of SUFAL-II Project

Part 2: Midline Study Report of Monsoon Flood

The midline study, encompassing the regions of Kurigram, Jamalpur, Gaibandha, and Bogura as treatment groups and Tangail and Shirajganj as control group areas, embarked on a comprehensive midterm evaluation of the SUFAL-II project. The objective of the midline study was to collect data to assess the project's progress towards its goals and objectives, as well as to identify whether the project is on track to achieve its intended outcomes. The study followed OECD DAC criteria including relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, sustainability and value for money (VFM), all with the goal of offering actionable recommendations for project enhancement. The study emphasized how crucial the SUFAL-II project is in addressing important issues with Early Warning Systems, especially in areas where communities are at a higher risk of monsoon floods.
