Help ensure Bangladesh is "donation ready" for the next disaster!
Join DAP’s to support SmartResponse in Bangladesh.
WHY: Smart Response makes sure donations reach those most in need the next time disaster strikes Bangladesh. DAP (an independent watchdog of disaster relief and humanitarian aid) is recruiting a volunteer team to help us identify, engage, and collect data from local [nonprofits/civil society organizations] in Bangladesh to ensure donations reach the most deserving organizations after the next disaster.
Bangladesh Outreach Volunteers are asked to assist with the following BEFORE disasters occur:
Data Collection / Engaging Organizations:
Identify local CSOs/NGOs involved in disaster relief & human services.
Facilitate outreach/training efforts with the identified CSOs and NGOs
Fundraising:
Organize one small fundraising/networking event per year to engage others in supporting this effort. (i.e. house party/happy hour/race run)
Stay Connected:
Join one short conference call per month. (we’ll plan a few at different times)
Bangladesh Outreach Volunteers are asked to assist with the following AFTER disasters occur:
Social Media / Outreach:
Help spread the word about the data collected by Smart Response after the next disaster hits Bangladesh
Time Commitment: 5-10 hours per month (estimate)

Mission Statement
Disaster Accountability Project saves lives and reduces suffering by maximizing the effectiveness, efficiency, and equity of disaster preparedness, response, relief, and recovery through oversight, transparency, advocacy, and public education.
Description
DAP is the leading nonprofit organization that provides long-term independent oversight of disaster management systems.
DAP engages a dedicated community to advance policy research and advocacy, promote transparency, and encourage the public to participate in oversight, community-based organizing, and discussions about disaster preparedness and relief.
Dedicated citizen oversight is necessary to ensure resources dedicated to preparedness, relief, and recovery are effectively utilized, communities are sufficiently engaged and more resilient, and best practices and lessons learned are implemented so mistakes are not repeated.
Prior to the creation of the Disaster Accountability Project (DAP), there was no dedicated, independent oversight of the agencies and organizations responsible for these critical life-saving responsibilities.
