Objective of the Survey This Preparatory Survey (the Survey) aims to formulate detailed Yen Loan Project (the Project) plan for Improvement of food value chain through provision of concessional loan and technical assistance programs. 2. Outline of the Project The proposed outline of the Project is described as follows. Project Name Food Value Chain Improvement Project in People’s Republic of Bangladesh Background and Rationale of the Project In Bangladesh, processed food domestic market has been growing fast in accordance with recent GDP growth and the increase of middle income group. However, while Bangladeshi food processing industry has huge growth potential, it has also challenges such as high post-harvest losses, low added value, insufficient quality and food safety management system, which impede the country from fully take advantage of market opportunities. In addition to the above challenges, financial issues should be also addressed. According to the interviews with food processing companies in the Survey, although almost all companies have 1 capital investment plans, high loan interest rate tends to discourage their actual investment . Objective of the Project The objective of the Project is to improve credit access for agribusiness and food processing industries and to enhance their capacity in business development, food processing, and food safety by providing concessional financing through Two-Step Loan (TSL) and technical assistance, thereby contributing to the improvement of food value chain in Bangladesh. Project Components (1) TSL for Agribusiness and Food Processing Industries 1) Proposed Fund Flow 1 As of November 2019, loan interest ranges from 12 to 15% in private commercial bank. Regarding interest rate, please refer to Bangladesh Bank website (https://www.bb.org.bd/fnansys/interestlending.php). i The proposed fund flow of the Project is illustrated in the following figure. Source: The Survey Team As illustrated in the figure above, after converted to Bangladesh Taka (BDT), the Project’s TSL fund is on-lent with 2.0% interest rate to Bangladesh Infrastructure Finance Fund Limited (BIFFL) as Implementing Agency which provide On-Lending Loans to end-borrowers with 2 interest rate up to 6.0% per annum . 2) Terms and Conditions of On-Lending Loan The eligibility and conditions of On-Lending Loans are proposed as follows: Legal eligibility of Legal entity established in Bangladesh which belongs to one of the following 3 end-borrowers categories: (i)Public limited company; (ii)Private limited company; (iii)Private proprietor; (iv)Partnership and (v)Cooperative Eligible purpose (i) Long term capital investment in agribusiness and food processing 4 industries (only for new equipment, machinery and production line) (ii) Technical know-how such as necessary expense for obtaining accreditation related to food safety and food processing including ISO, HACCP and halal certification On-Lending currency Bangladesh Taka (BDT) Loan amount Maximum loan amount is BDT 500 million for one end-borrower Loan term Two to ten years (including grace period up to two years) 5 Interest rate Maximum interest rate is set at 6% per annum 2 As a result of the consultation during the JICA’s appraisal, the ceiling on the interest rate could be changed to 5.0% per annum as per the MoInd’s request on condition of the MOF’s written communication to MoInd explaining such a lower interest rate should function properly. 3 Please refer to 5.2.2 for the definitions of the legal eligibilities. 4 The eligible sub-sectors are: food processing industries (including fruit, vegetable, spice, rice, wheat, bean, and edible oil); seed manufacturing; organic fertilizer manufacturing; warehouse/ logistics; wholesale; transportation and retail industries. 5 As previously stated, the ceiling on the interest rate could be set at 5.0% per annum. ii Maturity The maturity and collateral will be determined by BIFFL in compliance with and collateral the rules and regulations prevailing in Bangladesh.

Environmental and Social Consideration Sub-project Selection Standards All the factories operating in Bangladesh has to acquire Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC). ECC is categorized in Green, Orange-A, Orange-B and Red, and food processing industries as the main target sector of the Project belong to Orange-B and JICA Category B. In addition, other target sectors of the Project have been confirmed as not belonging to Red or JICA Category A. The Sub-project selection standards in Environmental and Social Consideration is proposed as: 1) Exclusion from the Red category of ECR and JICA Category A; 2) Exclusion for sectors listed on the Bangladesh Bank’s exclusion lists of Guidelines on Environmental & Social Risk Management for Banks and Financial Institutions in Bangladesh (ESRM) and BIFFL’s Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS); and 3) Having valid ECC, factory licenses, and fire licenses. Strengthening Environmental and Social Monitoring Framework BIFFL has appropriate capacity for environmental and social consideration as it has extensive project experiences with international donors such as ADB and JICA and has unique ESMS called Environmental and Social Monitoring Framework (ESMF). On the other hand, the above BIFFL’s ESMF has not incorporated check system for assuring food safety which is critical for improving food value chain in the Project. In addition, BIFFL does not have enough expertise on Environmental and Social Due Diligence (ESDD) in food processing sector. In this regard, BIFFL needs to use ESDD checklist that covers food safety 6 items tailored for the Project as well as to receive training on food safety. 6 Such checklist has been prepared by the support from the Survey Team. v Table of Contents 1.

Volume 4, Issue 2 (May. - Jun. 2013), PP 65-72 www.Iosrjournals.Org Groundwater Dynamics in Pabna District, Bangladesh 1 2 3 M Saiful Islam, Alam M K, Rahman M A 1 Assistant Professor, Department of Physics, Govt. Edward College, Pabna, Bangladesh 2Assistant Professor, Department of Physics, Pabna University of Science & Technology, Bangladesh 3 Lecturer, Department of Applied Physics & Electronic Engineering, University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh Abstract: Groundwater is an important segment of the hydrologic cycle and constitutes about one third of world’s fresh water reserves. It has distinct advantages over surface water resources. It is the most dependable resource and is available almost everywhere on land phases. It is hard to overstate the importance of groundwater in the life and economy of Bangladesh. Groundwater supplies over 90% of drinking water requirements and the vast majority of irrigation water. It is the only source of water supply for drinking and main source of irrigation in the area studied. The increased demands due to over population and development activities have stimulated investigations oriented towards quantifications of this resource. The large scale abstraction of groundwater for irrigation, without proper planning and management, has caused much environmental degradation. So, a detailed study is now essential for the conservation of this important resource in the specific area. Proper utilization of groundwater greatly precedes the analysis of static water levels in various extents of this inexhaustible resource. The increasing demand placed on it has stimulated to identify of this resource, which would be the basic of its exploration, management and conservation.

    South East Asia Journal of Public Health ISSN: 2220-9476 Public Health ISSN: 2313-531X (Online) Original Research Project Manager; Assistant Professor; 3,6Assistant Scientist; 5Research Investigator; Abstract Adolescents, aged 10-19 years, constitute one fifth of Bangladesh's total population of 158 million. Similar to adolescents elsewhere, Bangladeshi adolescents also have special sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information and service needs; however, these needs are not adequately addressed by the existing health service system. The present study was conducted to identify adolescents’ expectations of and preferences for receiving SRH information and services. This qualitative study was conducted in six purposively selected areas of Bangladesh using 20 Key Informant Interviews (KII) during September-November 2012. Key informants aged between 15 to 19 years were leaders of youth organizations or class monitors in school. Informants were unmarried and married, males and females, and from rural and urban areas. This study identified that there is a strong need for SRH services for adolescents. Irrespective of their residence and gender, adolescents preferred health service providers to be qualified medical doctors, who are experienced, well-trained and polite. Availability of doctors, maintaining privacy and treatment through counseling were mentioned as their priorities. Both urban and rural adolescents recommended establishing adolescent friendly environment in every government and NGO health service facility. They also asked for gender specific service provider for female and male adolescents. Urban adolescents expressed the need for school health program with provision of school health clinics. On the other hand, rural adolescents recommended for community health workers to raise awareness on adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH) issues with parents and families.
