In the Sundarbans Resilience Project, government agencies and international donors hold the most influence through policy and funding control, while local coastal communities benefit the most through improved protection, livelihoods, and resilience; NGOs and researchers support implementation and knowledge, but power imbalances remain as community voices—especially women’s—have limited decision-making influence despite being the most affected.

I agree with your assessment of the Sundarbans Resilience Project. The concentration of influence among government agencies and international donors is evident, as they control policy direction, funding, and large-scale implementation. At the same time, local coastal communities are the primary beneficiaries, gaining improved protection from cyclones, strengthened livelihoods, and enhanced long-term resilience.
