Key messages
● Bangladesh’s Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP) is one of the most ambitious of its kind in a developing country. 
● Collaborative networks have enabled the CDMP to expand its operations. 
● Support from government leaders ensured that challenges to implementing the CDMP were overcome.
● The institutionalisation of disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation beyond the Ministry of Food and Disaster Management has proved slow and challenging. 
● Challenges to CDMP implementation included natural disasters, political unrest and turnover of high-level officials.
