Background Eco-Social Development Organization (ESDO) has started its journey in 1988 with a noble vision to stand in solidarity with the poor and marginalized people. Being a peoples' centered organization, we envisioned for a society which will be free from inequality and injustice, a society where no child will cry from hunger and no life will be ruined by poverty. Over the last thirty years of relentless efforts to make this happen, we have embraced new grounds and opened up new horizons to facilitate the disadvantaged and vulnerable people to bring meaningful and lasting changes in their lives. During this long span, we have adapted with the changing situation and provided the most time-bound effective services especially to the poor and disadvantaged people. Taking into account the government development policies, we are currently implementing a considerable number of projects and programs including micro-finance program through a community focused and people centered approach to accomplish government’s development agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN as a whole.

    Mapping Exercise on Water- Logging in South West of Bangladesh

    MAPPING EXERCISE ON WATER- LOGGING IN SOUTH WEST OF BANGLADESH DRAFT FOR CONSULTATION FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS March 2015 I Preface This report presents the results of a study conducted in 2014 into the factors leading to water logging in the South West region of Bangladesh. It is intended to assist the relevant institutions of the Government of Bangladesh address the underlying causes of water logging. Ultimately, this will be for the benefit of local communities, and of local institutions, and will improve their resilience to the threat of recurring and/or long-lasting flooding. The study is intended not as an end point, but as a starting point for dialogue between the various stakeholders both within and outside government. Following release of this draft report, a number of consultations will be held organized both in Dhaka and in the South West by the study team, to help establish some form of consensus on possible ways forward, and get agreement on the actions needed, the resources required and who should be involved. The work was carried out by FAO as co-chair of the Bangladesh Food Security Cluster, and is also a contribution towards the Government’s Master Plan for the Agricultural development of the Southern Region of the country. This preliminary work was funded by DfID, in association with activities conducted by World Food Programme following the water logging which took place in Satkhira, Khulna and Jessore during late 2013.

Mokhlesur Rahman This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University March 2014 i Dedicated to My parents ii Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgement has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature: ………………………………………………….. Date: ………1 January 2015…………………………………………. iii Acknowledgements The huge task of completing a doctoral thesis obviously demands the support and encouragement of many - from family, friends, and colleagues and more importantly from supervisors. Throughout my journey towards this accomplishment my wife Runa has been the great source of encouragement to fulfill the dream of my father who wanted to see all his children become highly educated but who died when I was in primary school. My mother who died at 101 in October 2013 allowed me to come to Australia in my effort to fulfill my father’s dream. My children were always considerate of the separation from my family for the sake of my study but were curious about what it could bring me at the end. Professor Bob Pokrant, my supervisor, all along has been a guide and often a critic of my quick conclusions on various aspects of the interim research findings. He always encouraged me to be critical while reaching conclusions on issues and taught me that human societies consist of people caught up in complex webs of socio- political relations and diverse meanings, which become ever more complex when we seek to embed those relations and meanings within coupled social ecological systems.

    Local Government and Rural Development in the Bengal Sundarbans: an Inquiry in Managing Common Property Resources 1

    Agriculture and Human Values 7, 2 (Spring 1990), 40-51. Local Government and Rural Development in the Bengal Sundarbans: An Inquiry in Managing Common Property Resources 1 Harry W. Blair Harry Blair is professor of political science at Bucknell University, and has held appointments at Colgate, Cornell, Columbia and Yale Universities, as well as at the United States Agency for International Development. He has conducted academic research and has served as a consultant in South Asia for more than 20 years, focusing on rural development policy, natural resource management and decentralization. In the subcontinent, his primary geographical concentration has been on Bangladesh and, within India, on Maharashtra and Bihar. ABSTRACT Of the three strategies available for managing common property resources (CPR)--centralized control, privatization and local management-this essay focuses on the last, which has proven quite effective in various settings throughout the Third World, with the key to success being local ability to control access to the resource. The major factors at issue in the Sundarbans situation are: historically external pressure on theforest; currently dense population in adjacent areas; a land distribution even more unequal than the norm in Bangladesh; and a decentralized local government structure initiated in the mid-1980s. The first three factors have encouraged the local population to view this CRP as a frontier to be exploited, rather than as a resource to be preserved for sustained yield. Thus to the extent that the new local government structure proves to be democratic and responsive to popular needs, it would most likely accelerate destruction of the Sundarbans, using the area as a cheap and easy way to provide some livelihood to the rural poor and landless.

This research paper considers the Shyamnagar sub-district in the southern part of Bangladesh to analyze the complex issues of the vulnerability of livelihoods in the face of climate change. We conducted a questionnaire survey (n = 156) of approximately 15.6% of households in the study area. Consequently, we collected Geographical Information System (GIS) data and satellite imagery to demonstrate the land-use changes concerning vulnerabilities. A total of 54 indicators were selected to assess the livelihood vulnerability index, considering the demographic profiles, livelihood strategies, social networks, food security, water security, income, physical infrastructures, access to health services, and impacts of natural disasters. The results of the study demonstrate that only 21% of the people in the studied regions are less vulnerable to livelihood impacts in the face of climate change, while 23% of the households remain the most vulnerable.
  • Non-Timber Forest Products and Livelihoods in the Sundarbans

    Non-Timber Forest Products and Livelihoods in the Sundarbans

    Non-timber Forest Products and Livelihoods in the Sundarbans Fatima Tuz Zohora1 Abstract The Sundarbans is the largest single block of tidal halophytic mangrove forest in the world. The forest lies at the feet of the Ganges and is spread across areas of Bangladesh and West Bengal, India, forming the seaward fringe of the delta. In addition to its scenic beauty, the forest also contains a great variety of natural resources. Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) play an important role in the livelihoods of local people in the Sundarbans. In this paper I investigate the livelihoods and harvesting practices of two groups of resource harvesters, the bauwalis and mouwalis. I argue that because NTFP harvesters in the Sundarbans are extremely poor, and face a variety of natural, social, and financial risks, government policy directed at managing the region's mangrove forest should take into consideration issues of livelihood. I conclude that because the Sundarbans is such a sensitive area in terms of human populations, extreme poverty, endangered species, and natural disasters, co-management for this site must take into account human as well as non-human elements. Finally, I offer several suggestions towards this end. Introduction A biological product that is harvested from a forested area is commonly termed a "non-timber forest product" (NTFP) (Shackleton and Shackleton 2004). The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) defines a non-timber forest product (labeled "non-wood forest product") as "A product of biological origin other than wood derived from forests, other wooded land and trees outside forests" (FAO 2006). For the purpose of this paper, NTFPs are identified as all forest plant and animal products except for timber.

    Proceedings on International Conference on Disaster Risk Management, Dhaka, Bangladesh, January 12-14, 2019 DEVELOPING LOCAL LEVEL DISASTER RISK REDUCTION STRATEGIES CONSIDERING THE SPATIAL VARIATION OF STORM SURGE RISK: A CASE STUDY ON GABURA UNION, SYAMNAGAR UPAZILA R. Hassan1 and S.M. Haque2 Abstract Storm surge is one of the most disastrous natural hazards in the coastal regions of Bangladesh. Very often disaster risk reductions (DRR) strategies to minimize risks stemming from this hazard are ineffective due to the gross aggregation and have been found taken without considering spatial variations of risk profiles at local levels. This study aims to find out the spatial variations of storm surge risk at the local level and formulation of DRR strategies according to the variations of local level storm surge risk profile. For risk profiling, a GIS- based multi-criteria approach (MCA) has been adopted with four hazard indicators along with eleven vulnerability indicators. Gabura, a coastal union of Syamnagar upazila (sub-district) of Bangladesh has been selected as the study area. Data and information have been derived from administering a questionnaire survey and relevant searching of secondary sources. Analytical hierarchical process (AHP) has been used for selecting weights of the indicators. Findings suggest that the risk profile of the study area vary spatially since hazard exposure and vulnerability indicators showed significant variations across nine wards (smallest administrative units) of the study area. By analyzing DRR strategies of different Government agencies and non-governmental organizations, it has been observed that such variations in risk situations across the study area have largely been ignored while taking DRR strategies for the study area.
