Christian Commission for Development in Bangladesh (CCDB) founded in 1972, immediately after the Bangladesh Liberation War, by the World Council of Churches (WCC) to succeed the Bangladesh Ecumenical Relief and Rehabilitation Services (BERRS).[1][2] The organization asks local imams to talk about disaster preparedness in their Friday services as part of its Disaster Preparedness Programme.[3]
