The general objective of the study is to identify the best organizational attributes that can complement and contribute to governmental and intergovernmental processes that currently shape climate change adaptation strategies in Bangladesh. It is necessary for efficient fund allocation to the organizations that can implement the specific task efficiently and it also assists in developing their organizational capacity.
