The aim of the program is to reduce domestic violence and related human rights abuse incidents through financial support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Bangladesh (Cooperative Agreement #AID-388-A-11- 00002). To implement the program, PHR works in partnership with the Bangladesh National Woman Lawyers’ Association (BNWLA) and the International Centre for Research on Women (ICRW). Additionally, PHR has contracted 17 local partners through Fixed Obligation Grant (FOG) partners to carry out specific tasks at the district, upazila and union levels. In order to achieve its goal of reducing domestic violence and other human rights abuses in targeted areas, PHR is designed around the USAID four relevant Intermediate Results (IRs) which relate to five major program components as outlined in the Cooperative Agreement: 1) advocacy for legislative reform and enforcement to reduce domestic violence, 2) capacity building for key stakeholders involved with the protection and promotion of human rights, 3) increasing access to justice for the survivors and vulnerable ones, 4) providing survivor services for the survival of victims of DV and HR abuses, and 5) building mass awareness and educational campaigns on domestic violence and other human rights abuses. To achieve success in its mission, the PHR program has stressed the importance of forming partnerships, alliances and collaborative efforts which foster preventive, protective and legal human rights measures and developing linkages between and among local and national government representatives, non-governmental organizations, civil society and community leaders. Working in loosely-structured coalitions as agents of change, Plan International, ICRW and its Bangladeshi partners spearhead efforts to eradicate domestic violence and related human rights abuses such as dowry, child marriage, sexual harassment, trafficking-in-persons, stalking, rape, child abduction, and protecting and reversing damages to survivors, and prosecuting perpetrators. This report covers the period from April 1-June 30, 2013, the first quarter of Year Three. The report is structured sequentially as follows: (A) introduction; (B) executive summary; (C) narrative report by PMP indicators for each of the Mission’s relevant IRs and Sub-IRs under the Program’s five program components; (D) sub-grants program; (E) management; (F) lessons learned and actions to be taken; and (G) annexes. Page 4 of 38 Protecting Human Rights (PHR) Program Cooperative Agreement No. AID-388-A-11-00002 QR-PY3-1stQ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Component 1: Advocacy During the reporting period a total 56 advocacy meetings at the Union level (51), Upazila level (4) and national level (1) were organized and conducted by local and national partners. A total of 1556 participants (male 1204; female 352) attended these events. An advocacy meeting with lawmakers was held during this period to which seven parliamentarians (one male and six females) attended. An Annual Meeting of the National Human Rights Advocacy Forum (NHRAF) was organized and attended by 29 members. This included 5 ministry representatives. Two sub-committees were formed during the meeting-- one to advocate for women-friendly police stations and the other to promote gender sensitive media reporting. At the upazila level, a total of eight Upazila Human Rights Advocacy Forum (UHRAF) meetings were held, attended by 197 individuals (male 163; females 34). At each of the eight UHRAF meetings a service network to support survivors of domestic violence and other human rights abuses was established. PHR participated in a number of human rights advocacy forums during the reporting period. These included CiDV and Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). The Rules of the DV Act, 2010 was approved in April, 2013, as a result of continuous follow-up and advocacy from the HR forums and MOWCA. PHR participated in the Commonwealth Conference for Women Affairs Ministers held in Dhaka from June 17-19. An important meeting with the Secretary of Ministry of Youth and Sports resulted in a verbal agreement for the program to collaborate with the Ministry’s existing Youth Clubs in the PHR working areas. Component 2: Capacity Building PHR, under its capacity building initiative, carried out 57 trainings that 1304 stakeholders attended (761 male and 543 female). Many more men than women were trained this quarter due to the fact that training focused on religious leaders and community police stakeholders which are almost entirely comprised of men. Trainees included national level government officials, SPG members, religious leaders (Imams), members of the community police force,

  • Sampling Design for the Bangladesh Poverty and Groundwater Salinity Survey 2016
    SAMPLING DESIGN FOR THE BANGLADESH POVERTY AND GROUNDWATER SALINITY SURVEY 2016 The main objective of the Bangladesh Poverty and Groundwater Salinity Survey (BPGSS) 2016 is to understand the linkages between groundwater salinity and poverty in coastal areas in Bangladesh. It is also to assess the extent to which high water salinity might be associated with poor health outcomes among women and children, and identify potential coping and adaptation mechanisms, which households might be using to address high water salinity in these areas. The Bangladesh Poverty and Groundwater Salinity Survey 2016 collected data from a total of 1,500 households in three sub-districts or upazilas in Bangladesh – 500 households in each upazila distributed across 50 primary sampling units (PSUs).1 The three upazilas selected for this study are the following: (i) Taltoli upazila in the Barguna district of the Barisal division; (ii) Morrelganj upazila in the Bagerhat district of the Khulna division; and (iii) Shyamnagar upazila in the Satkhira district in the Khulna division. Each upazila was allocated an equal size of households in order to get poverty estimates of similar precision.2 The sampling frame consists of a list of all rural villages developed by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) based on the Census Enumeration Areas (CEAs) constructed for the 2011 Census of Population and Housing. PSUs are constructed by dividing rural villages into listing blocks or Enumeration Areas (EAs) of around 50 households each and then randomly selecting one block for listing. The three upazilas included in this study where selected based on discussion with a water salinity expert in Bangladesh and practical considerations using a two-stage procedure.

  • Inventory of LGED Road Network, March 2005, Bangladesh
    The Chief Engineer Local Government Engineering Department PREFACE It is a matter of satisfaction that LGED Road Database has been published through compilation of data that represent all relevant information of rural road network of the country in a structured manner. The Rural Infrastructure Maintenance Management Unit of LGED (former Rural Infrastructure Maintenance Cell) took up the initiative to create a road inventory database in mid nineties to register all of its road assets country-wide with the help of customized software called, Road and Structure Database Management System. The said database was designed to accommodate all relevant information on the road network sequentially and the system was upgraded from time to time to cater the growing needs. In general, the purpose of this database is to use it in planning and management of LGED's rural road network by providing detailed information on roads and structures. In particular, from maintenance point of view this helps to draw up comprehensive maintenance program including rational allocation of fund based on various parameters and physical condition of the road network. According to recent road re-classification, LGED is responsible for construction, development and maintenance of three classes of roads, which has been named as Upazila Road, Union Road and Village Road (category A & B) in association with Local Government Institution. The basic information about these roads like, road name, road type, length, surface type, condition, structure number with span, existing gaps with length, etc. has been made available in the road inventory. Side by side, corresponding spatial data are also provided in the road map comprising this document.
