Thirty years of experiences in administration, management, development projects, disaster

founders of Disaster Forum a network of the NGOs working with disaster management. While I
was the head of the disaster management program with CARE Bangladesh, I established

Bangla word that means safe however, the NIRAPAD means Network for Information, Response
and Preparedness Activities in Disaster. Founder Member of Disaster Forum a network of NGO’s
working in the field of disaster management in Bangladesh. Member of Durjog Nivaran a

Currently working as Technical Advisor of NAHAB. Dhaka Ahsania Mission (DAM) is the
secretariat for NAHAB. National Alliance of Humanitarian Actors in Bangladesh (NAHAB) is a
spinoff from the Shifting the Power project implemented by Christian Aid. On 26 January 2017
around 45 Local and National NGOS in Bangladesh and decided to established a platform called
“National Alliance of Humanitarian Actors, Bangladesh (NAHAB)”. This commitment and
working together comes from the “Shifting the Power” project implemented by Christian Aid in
Bangladesh with the Local and National NGOs. The Government of Bangladesh (Department of
Disaster Management) officially acknowledges NAHAB as a national platform of the
Humanitarian Actors. The NGOs come together to establish NAHAB as an alliance is to
encourage and support national/local non-governmental, national humanitarian organizations,
partners and other relevant actors to uphold their voice, representation and commitment to
invest for faster, needful and effective humanitarian actions in Bangladesh. As of today NAHAB
