The project recruited and trained eighteen paralegals, five of them women, who began providing free legal aid to prisoners and their families in three pilot districts (five prisons), while also assisting lawyers, the police, and the courts. Their work was very successful that the MoHA and the Prison Directorate expanded the project across the country. Work in the prisons is supported by the Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) of Germany through the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and by the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID). In January 2013, the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID) agreed to provide the finance needed to expand the project to 40 districts (43 prisons) by 2018 and to initiate measures to divert people away from the criminal justice system and prevent them from re-offending after they leave prison. Paralegals are not lawyers; they are like paramedics in the health care system. After being trained and mentored, they start working in prisons, courts and police stations within an agreed Code of Conduct with prison authorities and police. They perform as the lubricant in the criminal justice process. Every day, the paralegals enter the lock ups of different prisons in various districts of Bangladesh. They remain there for two to three hours, during which they interview 20 to 30 people. The paralegals present the information they have gathered to the District Legal Aid Committee or a panel lawyer from one of the four NGOs supporting the project (BRAC, Bangladesh Legal Aid & Services Trust (BLAST), RDRS-Bangladesh and Madaripur Legal Aid Association (MLAA) and request appropriate action. The data is also given to the Case Coordination Committees formed under the project, which meet once a month under the joint chairmanship of the District and Sessions Judge and the Deputy Commissioner. Representatives of all relevant stakeholders (judges, magistrates, administration, police, public prosecutor, bar association, Department of Women and Children Affairs, Department of Social Welfare, Department of Narcotics Control, partner NGOs, and civil society) attend the meeting and attempt to resolve long pending cases expeditiously and find local solutions to local problems related to the prison population and the case backlog. The paralegals also conduct Paralegal Aid Clinics inside the prisons to educate prisoners so they can use knowledge of the legal system in their own cases. Topics covered include bail, court manners, guilty plea, government legal aid, different stages of the judicial process, compoundable cases, arrest, and sentencing. The information is conveyed by way of theatre – with prisoners themselves playing the role of lawyers and magistrates – and through songs, a number of which were written by the paralegals themselves. In police stations, paralegals provide support to arrestees, helping them to understand the procedures and their options. They identify cases that can be diverted out of the system and resolved through a restorative justice conference in the community. Outside the courts, they inform prisoners and family members of the court setup and procedures, take steps to ensure that witnesses appear at the right time, and arrange surety for prisoners who have been granted bail. They follow up individual cases from the prisons, courts and police stations. One of the reasons that the prison population is so high is that petty cases, such as theft, vandalism, and drugs clog the system. One highly effective means of diverting people out of the criminal justice system and away from prison is restorative justice, which brings offender and victim together in a dialogue, helping them to understand each other. Such a conversation, guided by a trained mediator, often ends with an agreement between victim and perpetrator on compensation or restitution, thus closing the circle with healing instead of antagonism and punishment. Restorative justice builds on mediation, which has a long tradition in Bangladesh. The Madaripur Mediation Model, developed by the Madaripur Legal Aid Association, is widely used all over the country and also outside Bangladesh. IRSOP project, working with its partners at the local level – Madaripur Legal Aid Association (MLAA), Light House, Agragati Sangstha and RDRS-Bangladesh has already trained people from the community with extensive mediation experience as restorative justice master trainers. Competency-based skill development, vocational training and employment opportunities are ways of offering prisoners a chance to reintegrate into society and to close the ‘revolving door’ of recidivism. Dhaka Ahsania Mission is providing drug treatment and skill training inside and outside the prisons, before and after release. There are too many prisoners, and they are in prison for too long, often for petty crimes. Even if they are eventually released, they have little chance of rebuilding their lives. Many face homelessness, health problems, or drug addiction upon release. IRSOP wants to help them to get a second chance everyone deserves. .

The study analysed data from self-reported surveys from 133 members of the sub-district level disaster management committee and government officials working with DRR. Employing the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method, we find that political economy factors explain 68% of the variance in funding allocations. We also show that four categories of political economy factors—power and authority, interest and incentives, institutions, and values and ideas—are significantly influential over the distribution of DRR funding across subdistricts of Bangladesh. Our findings offer important policy implications to reduce the potential risks surrounding political economy influences in fund allocation and advance climate Citation: Islam, Shafiqul, Khondker finance literature.

  • 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.

  • Bangladesh Cyclone Sidr Was the Second Occasion Habitat for Humanity* Responded to a Natural Disaster in Ban- Gladesh
    Habitat for Humanity: The Work Transitional Shelters As480 of December 2008 Latrines As480 of February 2009 A Day in November On 15th November 2007, Cyclone Sidr bore down on southern Bangladesh, unleashing winds that peaked at 250 km. per hour and six-meter high tidal surges that washed away entire villages. Cyclone Sidr killed over 3,000 people, a fraction of the more destructive cyclones that struck in 1970 and 1991 which claimed more than 600,000 lives. But that was still too many. According to reports from the worst hit areas, many of the dead and injured were crushed when trees fell onto poorly constructed houses made of thatch, bam- boo or tin. Others drowned when they, together with their houses, were swept away by the torrents of water.

  • Taxonomy of the Leafy Vegetables in Bangladesh
    Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 20(1): 95-123, 2013 (June) © 2013 Bangladesh Association of Plant Taxonomists TAXONOMY OF THE LEAFY VEGETABLES IN BANGLADESH 1 MAKSUDA KHATUN, MD. ABUL HASSAN, SHAIKH NAZRUL ISLAM 2 AND M. OLIUR RAHMAN Department of Botany, University of Dhaka, Dhaka 1000, Bangladesh Keywords: Leafy vegetables; New reports; Taxonomy; Bangladesh. Abstract Thirty four exploration trips made throughout Bangladesh from 2000 to 2012 resulted in identification of 186 taxa used as leafy vegetables in the country, of which 173 taxa belong to angiosperms and 13 taxa to pteridophytes. Among the angiosperms, Magnoliopsida is represented by 153 taxa under 114 genera and 43 families, whereas Liliopsida is represented by 20 species under 15 genera and 8 families. Pteridophytes are symbolized by 13 species belonging to 10 genera and 10 families. Under each taxon updated nomenclature, vernacular names, habit, representative specimen and area of major consumption of the plant as a leafy vegetable have been provided. Out of 186 leafy vegetables identified in Bangladesh, 140 taxa are wild and 46 are cultivated. Among the cultivated ones 16 species are cultivated only as leafy vegetables and 30 are cultivated for other purposes but also used as leafy vegetables. A total of 61 species have been newly documented as leafy vegetables for Bangladesh. Introduction Leafy vegetables are referred to leaves of any plants used as vegetables, sometimes accompanied by tender petioles and shoots. They constitute a major portion of our diet and play an important part in alleviating malnutrition. FAO (2012) has estimated that about 870 million people are chronically undernourished in the period 2010-12 representing 12.5% of the global population, or one in eight people.
