  • 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.

    THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMICIDE IN BANGLADESH: A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON REPORTS OF MURDER IN DAILY NEWSPAPERS T. M. Abdullah-Al-Fuad June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMICIDE IN BANGLADESH: A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON REPORTS OF MURDER IN DAILY NEWSPAPERS T. M. Abdullah-Al-Fuad Reg no. 111 Session: 2011-2012 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Philosophy June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository DEDICATION To my parents and sister Dhaka University Institutional Repository Abstract As homicide is one of the most comparable and accurate indicators for measuring violence, the aim of this study is to improve understanding of criminal violence by providing a wealth of information about where homicide occurs and what is the current nature and trend, what are the socio-demographic characteristics of homicide offender and its victim, about who is most at risk, why they are at risk, what are the relationship between victim and offender and exactly how their lives are taken from them. Additionally, homicide patterns over time shed light on regional differences, especially when looking at long-term trends. The connection between violence, security and development, within the broader context of the rule of law, is an important factor to be considered. Since its impact goes beyond the loss of human life and can create a climate of fear and uncertainty, intentional homicide (and violent crime) is a threat to the population. Homicide data can therefore play an important role in monitoring security and justice.

  • 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.
