1. BACKGROUND

1.1 Introduction PAPRI (Poverty Alleviation through Participatory Rural Initiatives) was incepted in July 1999 by registration from NGO Affairs Bureau, Bangladesh vide no. 1424. Initially, it was a development endeavor of SHAPLA NEER = Citizens’ Committee in Japan for Overseas Support that was performing its development works in Bangladesh since 1987; and PAPRI commenced as an independent entity with carried over some initiatives from it. At that time, PAPRI had implemented its programs through two project offices located in Narayanpur and Amlabo which were initially known as Community Development Centre (CDC) of SHAPLA NEER.

PAPRI's efforts are directed to execute activities based on community issues through participatory approach and decision making on the identified problems to find out relevant solutions. As PAPRI works with the disadvantaged and marginalized family members, its target population includes the poorest of the poor, the downtrodden segment of the society, handicapped persons, adolescent girls, members of agriculture-based families, working children and destitute women. PAPRI is trying to empower them by providing cooperation especially in terms of technical support, advocacy for their rights and privileges as well as economical development.

PAPRI works more closely with the poor and disadvantaged people in the rural areas, where there is a dire paucity of initiatives by development organizations. PAPRI is also covering a part of urban and remote char areas and is interested in identifying all those in need of assistance for an improved life and creating an environment to analyze the potentials and pinpoint strengths and weaknesses so as to ensure proper services with easy access to samity and streamlining of self-reliant programs of PAPRI.

1.2 Vision and Mission Vision The vision of PAPRI is that target people will have socio-economic development with capacity, empowerment and respect in the society through mobilization of local resources. They will act as development partners as a whole, so thereby reflect peace and harmony in the society.

Mission PAPRI is forwarding to mobilize local resources to alleviate poverty and establish a just, equitable and respectful life of the socially-distressed people. To have a just society we are challenging poverty through the mobilizing and utilizing of local resources to develop capacity of human, social capital of the target people.

1.3 Goal PAPRI believes in everyone's right to stand on their own feet i.e. to enjoy self-determination and self- reliance by achieving socio-economic development, and considers 'Empowerment' of the common people a dire necessity for improving their life. Had the target people become empowered, they would be able to protect themselves from all social adversities and improve socio-economic condition by their own initiatives and capacity building through participatory process, which also can contribute to the realization of their fundamental and social rights.

1.4 Objectives PAPRI has the following five major objectives; . Target people will be equipped with proper knowledge, awareness and skill to form group and avail group-based services and family-based proper motivation so that they can struggle themselves for their existence and sustainability. . Target people will have easy access to the basic public services paving to the realization of their human rights so that they could survive and lead their life with dignity in the society. . Target people will obtain proper opportunities of micro-finance activities through their active participation so that they can be economically stable and socially dignified and can participate copiously as a member of the society. . Community people's participation will be ensured to mobilize the local resources to implement integrated rural development. . Distressed people will be organized and capacitated through trainings on life improvement skills to attain sustainable socio-economic development. 5

2.2.3 Promoting Rights of People with Disabilities through Disability inclusive local governance and service providing institutions (PRPD-DI)

Bangladesh is a country of near about 15 crore people. 15% of total people are disable in different level and degree whom are called Persons with disabilities (PWD’s)/physically challenged persons/Handicapped persons by different persons or groups [Source: WHO]. Persons with disabilities are facing following major problems; their health facilities are not always available, they are confined instead of mobility, not included in education, they are not in financial facilities and not involving in income generating activities, socially they are not seen positively rather than treated as burden of society, not participation in community and development activities. They generally have 12 limited access to education, employment, housing, transportation, health services and recreation. Under this circumstances Bangladesh government has made act to restore their rights. A large number of persons with disabilities are living in PAPRI’s working areas. Society seems that the persons with disabilities are burden of the family vis-à-vis the burden of society and as well as state. They are neglected in all respect. Most of the persons with disabilities are poor and more vulnerable; even they do not get support from their family members where they have to depend on others for their mobility. The persons with disabilities are the unwanted people of the society. Society seems that they are quite unable to do something for themselves. But they are human being and they have the right in the society. Bangladesh government has signed in UNCRPD-United Nation Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities. It has also generated law namely Disability welfare act 2001 for protect and development of persons with disabilities. In this context, PAPRI has therefore been implementing this project in Belabo and Raipura upazila with financial support from Manusher Jonno Foundation (MJF) and technical assistance as lead organization from Centre for Disability in Development (CDD).

Education is heart of social life as well as back bone of the nation. It can change the behavior of persons which is acceptable by the society and help persons to identify and analysis the problems vis –a- vis making decision for the betterment of any activities. It is essential for standard economic, social, cultural and values for human being. Mainstream education is the one of the focus areas of the organization. So PAPRI is implementing different formal and informal education program in its operation areas including char areas means isolated from main land area. Batibond is a remote village of Narayanpur union under Belabo Upazila in Narsingdi district, where had no educational facilities including school, especially at the higher secondary level institutions. Therefore many students especially girls were not in apposition to have secondary education. As a result, a significant number of students were dropped out after completion of primary education and girls were the worse sufferers who had to stop their study forever and embrace the fate of early marriage. Under this circumstances, to address this problem PAPRI proposed for fund to SHAPLA NEER to establish a high school in the village. It was benevolent of SHAPLA NEER to convince Nippon Volunteer Support, Japan to provide fund for the school. Nippon Volunteer Support High School has established in 2002 and commenced its education session from January 2003.

2.2.5 Empowerment of the ultra Poor, Poor & Poor Handicap in Narsingdi district through Micro finance Support Economy is the base structure of society. Nobody can generate income without money investment. Capital, technology and instrument are main things for production that leads to development. People equipped with technical knowledge may need credit support to initiate income generating activities. In PAPRI working areas, maximum poor people are addressed by NGO micro credit but a section of poor, and poor handicapped people are not addressed by any one. They are seemed to burden of society and they could not repay installment if they have paid loan. So they cannot involve themselves in IGAs for income generation at the aim to alleviate poverty. PAPRI has taken initiatives to address those people by providing with soft loan and messages on social and health issues. Hence, PAPRI communicated with the embassy of Japan in Bangladesh through SHAPLA NEER for fund and forwarded project proposal. Eventually, the embassy of Japan approved the proposal and provided fund to PAPRI for providing loan support to poor handicapped with an interest of Tk. 9.96%.

2.2.7 Basic Computer Training and adolescent Development project: PAPRI’s opinion is that, adolescent girls, handicapped and all other young people of Belabo and Raipura Upazilas, representing an integral part of the new generation and must have to be educated on computer literates, So that they can develop themselves as the architect of fortune who contribute a lots for their families, societies and the nation. The idea of introducing training on computer for the adolescent’s girls, young is the key demand of new generation. Generally, development interventions in Bangladesh are not always appropriately pro-women and -girls and many of these do not effectively serve the goals of human development and gender equity. But we all know that knowledge and skills are the most vital component for all human being in terms of development and empowerment. Through these endeavors adolescent girls in Belabo and Raipura areas can make a paramount effort towards a prosperous future as well as their empowerment through equipped with knowledge and skills and PAPRI has been performing this project since January 2010. Adolescent girls, persons with handicapped/disability and other young people especially those who have completed junior/higher secondary education and/or entered into the High School/College should have basic computer skills to prepare themselves for the future. The new generation must have to be provided with the opportunity of computer learning which would be the added advantage to get job in the country and even in abroad. Again, PAPRI has been caring two adolescent groups consisting of 15 to 20 members in its working area where group has become a platform to disseminate different issues say- reproductive health, early marriage, dowry, women violence, sexual harassment etc.

Overall Goals: Create an IGA opportunity through computer skills for adolescent (boys and girls), physically handicapped person in Raipura and Belabo upazila under Narsingdi district.

2.2.10 Improving Education and Health for deaf blind people in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh is a country having with 150 millions peoples and about a remarkable number of its populations are disable where a major portion has multiple disabilities and it is estimated about 10.7% of the population and this figure includes those who have deaf blindness. Persons with deaf blindness face considerable and multiple challenges in daily life, as they find it very difficult to interact with other people because of their severe lack of communication skills. As a result, they are excluded from participation both within their family environment and in society in general, their rights are ignored and their needs are not addressed. Without recognition and understanding, this rejection can lead to be a sub-human form of existence.

2.2.12 Cow breeding (CB) Cow rearing is important trade for income generating activity as well as source of animal protein. This trade has a potentiality as an income generating activity for poor people especially PAPRI group member as well as local people. PAPRI’s working areas include plain land, semi trace land and char area. Especially the head office surrounding area is plain which is feasible for cow rearing and with potentiality of milking cow rearing. Generally some people of this area rear local variety cows. But this could not be profitable due to lack of improved breeding as well as improved variety cows. The nearest artificial insemination centre was 16 kilometers away from this area, which people could hardly avail services from. PAPRI therefore took initiative to establish an artificial insemination centre to get improved cross milk cow and hybrid calf.

PAPRI made contact with Livestock Office of Belabo Upazila and launched an artificial insemination centre at the head office premises. PAPRI has provided a room for technician and a allotted places as needed. One technician from Livestock Office is providing services on all working days. This centre is now known a good service provider. So people come here with their cows from not only surrounding area but also from far way for goodwill of this centre. The livestock department supervises the centre and PAPRI also take care of it.

34 CHAPTER 03 3. Training and capacity building PAPRI believes in staff is a most important resource for organization where staffs are the key factors to implement the project/program activities effectively, efficiently and smartly. It also believes that staffs must have positive attitude towards project/organization. Furthermore, PAPRI is open to provide skills and knowledge to beneficiaries for their own development through involving them in income generating activities.
