  • Sector Assessment (Summary): Agriculture and Natural Resources1
    Coastal Climate Resilient Infrastructure Project (RRP BAN 45084) SECTOR ASSESSMENT (SUMMARY): AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCES1 A. Sector Road Map 1. Sector Performance, Problems, and Opportunities 1. Agricultural development and sustainable rural natural resource management are critical for poverty reduction as the majority of the poor in Bangladesh are in rural areas and depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. Some 75% of the population and 85% of the poor live in rural areas. Agriculture generates half of employment, contributes 20% of the gross domestic product, and provides a secure supply of food to the whole population. Fostering agricultural and rural development has taken on increased importance in recent years as policy makers grapple with climate change and with sudden spikes in global and domestic food prices. 2. Growth drivers in rural areas are shifting from rice cultivation to high-value agricultural commodities and off-farm employment. Transforming subsistence to commercial agriculture is the key to improving rural livelihoods, boosting rural economic growth, and contributing to long-term food security. The Government of Bangladesh promotes diversification in agriculture by fostering private sector-led agribusiness and improving rural infrastructure. The latter includes developing farm-to-market roads, providing access to affordable power, developing rural growth centers, including marketplaces with women’s sections, and building rural water supply and sanitation infrastructure. With climate change risks growing, the provision of climate-resilient rural infrastructure assumes growing importance. In addition, there is a need to develop rural institutions that help ensure that better market access bring improved livelihoods and more rapid social development. All these issues have important gender-equality dimensions, and households headed by women can benefit.

Furthermore, the intensity of poverty gets worse by high levels of vulnerability due to increasing frequency and magnitude of natural disasters in the coastal areas adjacent to the Bay of Bengal. The common disasters in Bangladesh include floods, cyclones, tornadoes, river erosion, landslides, droughts and earthquakes as well as the affects of these disasters. The situation is further exaggerated by a continuous rise of population and lack of functional community- based disaster management strategies.

  • Diversity of Angiosperm Flora of Kuakata National Park, Patuakhali District, Bangladesh
    J. Asiat. Soc. Bangladesh, Sci. 43(2): 143-159, December 2017 DIVERSITY OF ANGIOSPERM FLORA OF KUAKATA NATIONAL PARK, PATUAKHALI DISTRICT, BANGLADESH M. AZIZAR RAHAMAN1, MD. AZIZUR RAHMAN2 AND MOHAMMAD ZASHIM UDDIN3 1Wildlife Center, Ban Bhaban, Mohakhali, Dhaka-1212, Bangladesh 2Department of Botany, Chittagong University, Bangladesh 3Department of Botany, Dhaka University, Bangladesh Abstract The article mainly highlights the angiosperm diversity of Kuakata National Park (KNP) of Patuakhali district. Angiosperm diversity assessment in the park was conducted in between 2015 and 2016. A total of 265 plant species belonging to 75 families and 204 genera was identified from this National Park. Tree species of the park are represented by 89, shrubs by 45, herbs by 94, climbers by 31 and epiphytes by 6 species. In Magnoliopsida (dicots), Fabaceae is the largest family represented by 14 species, whereas in Liliopsida (monocots), Poaceae is the largest family represented by 13 species. The plant species recorded from the National Park were distributed in different habitats and maximum species were recorded in plantation areas(108) followed by homesteads (61), cultivated land(38), roadsides (35) and mangrove areas (23).The study has reported the presence of medicinal plants, wildlife supporting plants, exotics and invasive plants and rare plants in park. The presence of edible species in the National Park is very rare. The introduction of exotics species into the National Park has been accepted. As the presence of exotics in park, local flora will be faced great challenges in future for their existence. This article also focused conservation values, management concerns and some actions for conservation of angiosperm diversity in the National Park.

  • COASTAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY ( Approved at the 2Nd Meeting of the Inter-Ministerial Steering Committee on ICZMP Held on February 13, 2006 )
    Ministry of Water Resources Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh COASTAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY ( Approved at the 2nd meeting of the Inter-Ministerial Steering Committee on ICZMP held on February 13, 2006 ) Water Resources Planning Organization February 2006 PREFACE The coastal zone of Bangladesh is often perceived as a zone of multiple vulnerabilities. But it has much potentials and opportunities. Moreover, it contains several important and critical ecosystems. By harnessing and exploiting its opportunities in systematic and coordinated way, the coastal zone can make a substantial contribution to achieve the national goals of accelerated poverty reduction and economic growth. The need for an area specific program in coastal Bangladesh was recognized in a number of earlier initiatives and the policies and programs of different government agencies. Integrated Coastal Zone Management Plan (ICZMP) project was implemented by Water Resources Planning Organization. One of the key outputs of the project is the Coastal Zone Policy (CZPo) which was approved by the government on 17 January 2005. The policy provides the directives and the framework for the development and implementation of integrated coastal zone management plan. It also gives direction for management of the coastal development process. The Coastal Development Strategy (CDS) focuses on the implementation of the coastal zone policy. The CDS was approved at the second meeting of the Inter-Ministerial Steering Committee on ICZMP held on 13 February 2006. The distinctive development opportunities of the coastal zone are considered as instrumental in reducing vulnerability and poverty of coastal communities. This strategy is an attempt to unlock the potentials of the coastal zone along with strategies to mitigate natural and man- made hazards and to preserve, restore and enhance coastal ecosystems.
