LEDARS kicked off a 2-day capacity-building training on Climate Change and Advocacy
at CSS Ava Center in Khulna on 24 and 25 May 2024. This initiative aims to
strengthen the climate justice movement in the southwest coastal area of Bangladesh.
Mr. Md. Tobibur Rahman, Director of Local Government, Khulna Division, inaugurated
the training and pledged support for the marginalized communities in the region. He
encouraged LEDARS to keep up the good work and stand by those most vulnerable.

30 prominent civil society members, including journalists, teachers, and development
activists from Satkhira, Khulna, and Bagerhat districts, are participating. They will
discuss climate change, advocacy tools and techniques, civil society movements, and
documentation. The goal is to develop an action plan to boost the advocacy campaign
in southwest Bangladesh. The training is organized under the project SLSCCVP funded
by Bread for the World.
