Mamoni HSS FY16 Q3 Quarterly Report MaMoni Health Systems Strengthening Activity (USAID Cooperative Agreement AID-388-LA-13-00004) Annual Report October 01, 2016– September 30, 2017 At the end of Year 4, we wanted to follow-up on some of the early cases of birth asphyxia that were managed in the field. In March 2012, in Faridpur district, Sakhina, a Community Skilled Birth Attendant, helped revive Rikta Begum’s baby, Tayeeba. Five years later, our Field Officer, Sarwar Hossain Topu, visited Tayyeba and captured her story. Photo A (on the left) taken in 2012, shows Tayeeba laying in her mother’s lap, as Sakhina sits beside them, while photo B (on the right), taken in 2017, shows a five-year old Tayeeba standing next to her parents. Submitted November 07, 2017 Cover Photo Story A Most Beautiful Cry: How Tayeeba Survived Her Day of Birth Tayeeba, the second child of Rikta Begum and Md. Tara Mia, is now five years old. They live in a remote village of Ganibyaparir dangi of Sadarpur Upazila, Faridpur district. Tayeeba is not going to school yet but she has grown like a normal child of her age. There was a chance that this asphyxiated baby’s cognitive development could have been compromised; nevertheless, she has memorized the Bangla alphabets, numbers, and rhymes, and plays with her friends. It is now incredible to imagine what this child went through in the first few hours of her life. It was March 9, 2012. Tayeeba was not crying and had difficulty breathing after birth. She could not move. Fortunately, Sakhina Begum, a Community Skilled Birth Attendant (CSBA) who had just completed her Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) training, was around. Following the training, Sakhina also received HBB kits to provide delivery-related assistance at home. When Rikta experienced labor pains, her husband, Tara Mia, quickly called Sakhina Begum to their home. Sakhina Begum first tried to clean the meconium from the mouth and nose of the newborn using a Penguin Sucker. She then attempted to stimulate the baby by rubbing the baby’s back, near its spinal cord. However, the baby did not cry, so she started artificial ventilation using a bag and mask. She managed to get through 40 rounds of artificial breathing per minute, when all of a sudden, the baby moved and cried. “If I hadn’t received HBB training, I couldn’t imagine how I would have helped the baby survive such a serious condition at home,” Sakhina said with pride and joy. Tayeeba’s mother, Rikta Begum is grateful to Sakhina. “Had Khala (Sakhina Begum) not been around, my child would not have survived”, Rikta said. For her third pregnancy, Rikta has already ensured that Sakhina will be beside her when she delivers. Sakhina Begum has worked as a Health Assistant (HA) in her area since 2007. She received CSBA training for six months. In February 2012, she received HBB training that was organized by the Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses unit supported by the MaMoni HSS Project and funded by USAID. She was promoted to the role of an Assistant Health Inspector (AHI) in the same year for her good performance Cover photo credits: Photo A – Unknown; Photo B – Mr. Sarwar Hossain, BSMMU This document is made possible by the generous support of the American people through the support of the Office of Population, Health, Nutrition and Education, United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Bangladesh (USAID/Bangladesh), under the terms of Associate Cooperative Agreement No. AID-388- LA-13-00004 through Maternal and Child Health Integrated Program (MCHIP).

  • Situation Assessment Report in S-W Coastal Region of Bangladesh
    Livelihood Adaptation to Climate Change Project (BGD/01/004/01/99) SITUATION ASSESSMENT REPORT IN S-W COASTAL REGION OF BANGLADESH (JUNE, 2009) Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) Acknowledgements The present study on livelihoods adaptation was conducted under the project Livelihood Adaptation to Climate Change, project phase-II (LACC-II), a sub-component of the Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP), funded by UNDP, EU and DFID which is being implemented by the Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) with technical support of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), UN. The Project Management Unit is especially thankful to Dr Stephan Baas, Lead Technical Advisor (Environment, Climate Change and Bioenergy Division (NRC), FAO, Rome) and Dr Ramasamy Selvaraju, Environment Officer (NRC Division, FAO, Rome) for their overall technical guidance and highly proactive initiatives. The final document and the development of the project outputs are direct results of their valuable insights received on a regular basis. The inputs in the form of valuable information provided by Field Officers (Monitoring) of four coastal Upazilas proved very useful in compiling the report. The reports of the upazilas are very informative and well presented. In the course of the study, the discussions with a number of DAE officials at central and field level were found insightful. In devising the fieldwork the useful contributions from the DAE field offices in four study upazilas and in district offices of Khulna and Pirojpur was significant. The cooperation with the responsible SAAOs in four upazilas was also highly useful. The finalization of the study report has benefited from the valuable inputs, comments and suggestions received from various agencies such as DAE, Climate Change Cell, SRDI (Central and Regional offices), and others.

Knut Kraemer Examiners: Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. T. Schlurmann Dr.-Ing. N.

Among these, Bangladesh with its capital Dhaka is today widely recognised to be one of the regions most vulnerable to climate change and its triggered associated impacts. Natural hazards that come from increased rainfall, rising sea levels, and tropical cyclones are expected to increase as climate changes, each seri- ously affecting agriculture, water & food security, human health and shelter. It is believed that in the coming decades the rising sea level alone in parallel with more severe and more frequent storm surges and stronger coastal ero- sion will create more than 20 million people to migrate within Bangladesh itself (Black et al., 2011).

It developed over the Bay of Bengal and made landfall on 15 November 2007 in the coastal areas of Bangladesh. It brought winds of up to 250 Km/hr and associated tidal surges. These tidal surges penetrated deep and extensively inland, compounding the already existing problems from seasonal flooding. ACT alliance responded to the disaster with funds sourced by the appeal ASBD72 Cyclone Sidr and the follow-on appeal ASBD81, launched on 8 May 2008 to support ACT members in rehabilitation activities. The appeal ASBD81 included the response proposed by the ACT member Rangpur Dinajpur Rural Service (RDRS) only. The revision of ASBD81 will include responses by the additional five ACT members: Church of Bangladesh Social Development Programme (CBSDP), Christian Commission for Development in Bangladesh (CCDB), KOINONIA, Lutheran Health Care Bangladesh (LHCB) and Social Health & Education Development (SHED). 1. Rangpur Dinajpur Rural Service (RDRS) responded to this disaster through one of its development partners, the Resource Integration Centre (RIC). In the emergency relief operation RIC provided food, drinking water, warm clothing, temporary shelter, and medicine.
