Project Abstract Under MIMAP-Bangladesh, the Poverty Monitoring System developed and pilot-tested the methodology and indicators for a Local Level Poverty Monitoring System. The experimentation was carried out by the Bangladesh Academy for Rural Development (BARD) in consultation with the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS) in the year of 2001-2002. The pilot testing was kept limited in four villages of Sreepur Union of Choudagram Upazila to acquire the required insights prior to its wider replication. With the successful outcomes of the pilot phase, the experimental phase is expanded in a Union named Muhammadpur (West) under Daudkandi Upazila covering all villages to examine its effectiveness at the Ward and Union levels. It is expected that an operational LLPMS at the Union level will play a complementary role with the national initiatives of poverty monitoring in providing both poverty and development related information and policy guidelines. II. Project objectives The general objective of the project is to create a community based poverty-monitoring system at the local level in Bangladesh and ensure active

  • Implications of Floodplain Aquaculture Enclosure
    Policy Brief-4 Improving floodplain management: Implications of floodplain aquaculture enclosure In the last decade the area of private seasonally flooded land enclosed with bunds and fences for monsoon aquaculture grew by 30-100% a year depending on the location. This trend shows no sign of slowing. In different regions this is organised by individual landowners, informal groups, or com- panies that lease in land. These systems are productive but have high input costs, and catches of wild fish decline. Large farmers are the main beneficiaries, in all cases poorer people report that overall they loose. The landless loose access to natural fisheries and other aquatic resources, but some gain employment. Marginal farmers and sharecroppers loose both common aquatic resources and access to land for cultivation. The Government of Bangladesh, some donor projects and NGOs are promoting enclo- sure, but instead of being subsidised this private enterprise should be regulated before loss of natural floodplain fisheries and inequality become too widespread. Context There are three separate but similar movements to enclose floodplain land for aquaculture in Bangladesh, Enclosure is not a new concept or issue.

  • Bangladesh 2013 International Religious Freedom Report
    BANGLADESH 2013 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution and other laws and policies protect religious freedom. The constitution states that Islam is the state religion, but reaffirms the nation is a secular state that “shall ensure equal status and equal rights in the practice of the Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, and other religions.” Government officials, including police, were sometimes slow to protect members of minority religious groups from violence, and there were several reports of involvement of government-affiliated actors in such violence. The government took steps to assist victims and restore religious and private property damaged in the violence. There were reports of societal abuses and discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice. There were a large number of arson attacks and looting of minority religious sites and private homes across the country, especially against the Hindu community. Members of the Sunni Muslim majority at times harassed and physically attacked members of the Hindu, Christian, Buddhist, and Ahmadiyya Muslim minority religious groups. The government and many civil society leaders stated that violence against members of minority religious groups normally had economic or criminal dimensions, and could not be attributed solely to religious belief or affiliation. Members of minority religious groups from lower economic strata were further disadvantaged due to their inability to afford personal security or to motivate officials to provide security against harassment or violence. In meetings with officials and in public statements, the U.S. embassy expressed strong concern over acts of religious intolerance and encouraged the government to protect the rights of members of minority religious groups.
