Water related disasters in the Brahmaputra basin arc common phenomena, and are being Frequently faced across its riparian countries. It is perceived that there are ample opportunities for cooperation in managing the destructive impacts of the river. Since 2013, the South Asia Consortium for Interdisciplinary Water Resources Studies, SaciWATERs, based in Hyderabad, India has undertaken an initiative, entitled the "'Trans-boundary Policy Dialogue for Improved Water Governance in Brahmaputra River" involving four riparian countries India, Bangladesh, Bhutan and China. The Brahmaputra Dialogue seeks to create a platform for discussion of issues, challenges, and opportunities towards improved co-management of the river basin. Through this, it is aimed to enhance cross-sharing and understanding on disaster preparedness and mitigation across the region. In the dialogue, state and non-state actors will engage themselves in sharing best practices on disaster and river management; provide an avenue to discuss possibilities and areas for future collaboration and provide guidance towards river governance from their respective country perspectives. A daylong session titled Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue on Disaster Management for the Brahmaputra Basin held on 26 April 2017 at BRAC Inn Auditorium. Centre for Climate Change and Environmental Research (C3ER), BRAC University; South Asia Consortium for Interdisciplinary Water Resources Studies (SaciWATERs) and Jagrata Juba Shangha (JJS) jointly organized the workshop.
