The objective and mandate of the project is to strengthen the ability of the poor and disadvantaged who rely on forest and wetland resources to adapt to climate change, and to improve and diversify their livelihoods, through environmentally sustainable means. In order to identify the alternative livelihoods on which the project can work on, a value chain selection and assessment was carried out. The main objective of the study was to find out the potential value chains and analyzing the value chains to come up with strategies and interventions to ensure sustainable livelihoods for the project beneficiaries of southwest region that lead to reduce pressure on natural resources. The study was conducted in two phases where in phase-1, three potential value chains were identified that meet the project objectives and in phase-2, in-depth value chain analysis of the selected value chains were done. Methodology The study was conducted in line with the USAID guideline for value chain analysis as available on microlinks wiki (http://microlinks.kdid.org/) in almost every step. CREL proposed a series of criteria for value chain selection which was adopted by Innovision for the selection exercise. However, due to the special considerations for choosing climate resilient value chains for the project beneficiary who were already selected (listed), slight modifications were made to serve the project‟s purpose. In the first phase, we used funnel approach to identify and select three potential value chains for the region. The approach used five steps; first, we have reviewed relevant secondary literatures, interviewed CREL staffs and reviewed potential site-wise value chains identified by CREL regional staffs and develop a long list of value chains. Then using cut-off criteria the team has selected 5-10 value chains. The cut off criteria that used was ‘Value chains that deplete forest and/or wet land directly will be ineligible for selection’. Besides cut off criteria 12 more selection criteria were set and weightage assigned against each criterion. Then the team conducted a rapid assessment of the short listed value chains in the field. Overall, 22 in-depth interviews with influential stakeholders along with 8 FGDs with 96 beneficiaries were conducted. In addition, 100 beneficiaries were individually profiled to get a sense of their economic situation and available resources. The findings then were validated with key stakeholders and project staff in a validation workshop. The set of mandates and economic criteria were used to rank the attractiveness of the short listed value chains. Each value chain was given a score against every criterion. Then the highest scored value chains were selected for the region. However, for the region some specific value chains were chosen which are not within this region but will be very profitable for the beneficiaries and in line with the CREL objectives. The main challenge of the study was to reach all the selected beneficiaries through the selected three value chains which was quite difficult as a significant number of beneficiary do not have minimum resource to engage in any value chain. In this context, consultation with CREL management, the consultants looked at other trades opportunity to the beneficiary for skill development along with the in-depth value chain analysis of the three selected value chains and nature based tourism. A seperate report was generated for the nature based tourism. In southeast zone 2 Cox‟s Bazaar, the selected value chains are Sewing & Stitching, Tailoring, Dress Making, Nakshikantha, Fish Net Making, Hand Crotched Prayer Caps, Embroidery, Capsicum, Strawberry, Medicinal Plants, and Floriculture & Apiculture. Our estimation is that these value chains and trades will cover majority of the target beneficiaries, if not all of the target beneficiaries of this region. With the list of selected value chains, a team consisting of lead consultant, value chain analyst and research assistant went to the study region again; Southeast

  • Plant Diversity of Sonadia Island – an Ecologically Critical Area of South-East Bangladesh 1 M.S
    Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 24(1): 107–116, 2017 (June) PLANT DIVERSITY OF SONADIA ISLAND – AN ECOLOGICALLY CRITICAL AREA OF SOUTH-EAST BANGLADESH 1 M.S. AREFIN, M.K. HOSSAIN AND M. AKHTER HOSSAIN Institute of Forestry and Environmental Sciences, University of Chittagong, Chittagong 4331, Bangladesh Keywords: Plant Diversity; Ecologically Critical Area; Sonadia Island; Mangroves. Abstract The study focuses the plant diversity in different habitats, status and percentage distribution of plants in Sonadia Island, Moheshkhali, Cox’s Bazar of Bangladesh. A total of 138 species belonging to 121 genera and 52 families were recorded and the species were categorised to tree (56 species), shrub (17), herb (48) and climber (17). Poaceae represents the largest family containing 8 species belonging to 8 genera. Homestead vegetation consists of 78% species followed by roadside (23%) and cultivated land (10%), mangroves (9%), sandy beaches (4%) and wetland (1%). The major traditional use categories were timber, food and fodder, fuel, medicine and fencing where maximum plant species (33% of recorded) were traditionally being used for food and fodder. Introduction Sonadia Island at Moheshkhali of Cox’s Bazar is situated in the southern-eastern coastal region of Bangladesh with partial regular inundations of saline water. The island covers an area of 10,298 hectares including coastal and mangrove plantations, salt production fields, shrimp culture firms, plain agriculture lands, human settlements etc. Ecosystem of this island was adversely affected due to increasing rate of anthropogenic disturbances. To protect the ecosystem of this island, it was declared as Ecologically Critical Area (ECA) in 1999 under section of the Bangladesh Environment Conservation Act, 1995 (MoEF, 2015).

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.
