Abstract

Developing countries like Bangladesh are facing multidimensional challenges due to climate change. The traditional engineering sector needs to evolve to contribute to the solution of the emerging problems by incorporating social and technical solutions. Integration of humanitarian and soft engineering and proper project formulation and implementation can go a long way in addressing the challenges. Harmonised and clear policies to this end are of high importance, along with political will and accountability in the public investments. Efficient utilisation of resources are needed through objective and proper prioritisation of projects – free from external influence or interference. Geopolitical cooperation between countries, coordination between the government and non-government sectors, as well as within the departments of the government is crucial for the success of humanitarian and soft engineering in resource-constrained countries.
