  • Bangladesh and Bangladesh-U.S. Relations
    Bangladesh and Bangladesh-U.S. Relations Updated October 17, 2017 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R44094 Bangladesh and Bangladesh-U.S. Relations Summary Bangladesh (the former East Pakistan) is a Muslim-majority nation in South Asia, bordering India, Burma, and the Bay of Bengal. It is the world’s eighth most populous country with nearly 160 million people living in a land area about the size of Iowa. It is an economically poor nation, and it suffers from high levels of corruption. In recent years, its democratic system has faced an array of challenges, including political violence, weak governance, poverty, demographic and environmental strains, and Islamist militancy. The United States has a long-standing and supportive relationship with Bangladesh, and it views Bangladesh as a moderate voice in the Islamic world. In relations with Dhaka, Bangladesh’s capital, the U.S. government, along with Members of Congress, has focused on a range of issues, especially those relating to economic development, humanitarian concerns, labor rights, human rights, good governance, and counterterrorism. The Awami League (AL) and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) dominate Bangladeshi politics. When in opposition, both parties have at times sought to regain control of the government through demonstrations, labor strikes, and transport blockades, as well as at the ballot box. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been in office since 2009, and her AL party was reelected in January 2014 with an overwhelming majority in parliament—in part because the BNP, led by Khaleda Zia, boycotted the vote. The BNP has called for new elections, and in recent years, it has organized a series of blockades and strikes.

The project has been funded by the World Bank (International Development Association) for obtaining a better understanding of air pollution sources in Bangladesh. The project included the development of emissions inventories, air pollution dispersion modeling as well as field studies/surveys in order to collect air samples and relevant input data. Task 1 of the project sets the basis for understanding the air pollution problems in Bangladesh (for Dhaka and Chittagong), and is a critical task for the entire project. No complete emissions inventory has previously been conducted for these two cities in Bangladesh. The emissions inventory include mapping the various sources (point, area, and line) in the two cities The emissions inventory will further represent the basis for air pollution dispersion modeling undertaken as part of Task 2 of the project.

  • The Situation Information Bulletin Bangladesh: Floods
    Information bulletin Bangladesh: Floods Information bulletin n°2 Date of issue: 3 September 2014 Glide n° FL-2014-000117-BGD Date of disaster: August 2014 Point of contact: 1. Md. Belal Hossain, Director, Disaster Response, BDRCS 2. Andreas Weissenberg, Operations Coordinator, AP Zone Host National Societies: Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS) This bulletin is being issued for further information following the first bulletin as well as setting the basis for a DREF request to fund continued humanitarian assistance required in the coming days. It reflects the current situation and response, and the immediate intervention that is required for the affected population. The Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS), with the support of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), has principally decided to make a DREF request to provide and scale up assistance to the population affected by the disaster. The situation Since the second week of August, heavy rains in the main river basins and upstream catchments of India, along with continuous rainfall in northwest and north-eastern parts of Bangladesh have caused flooding in low-lying districts. Districts in the north-west of the country were heavily impacted which triggered a Joint Needs Assessment (JNA) to be carried out in nine districts by members of the Humanitarian Coordination Task Team (HCTT). Situation reports from the Disaster Management Information Centre (DMIC) and reports from BDRCS’ local units as well as other NGOs brought attention to the seriousness of flooding in those districts clustered around the north-west (Lalmonirhat, Kurigram, Nilphamari, Rangpur, Gaibandha, Bogra, Sirajganj, Jamalpur, Sherpur).

  • Dear Store Manager Mark's SE 2018
    Dear Store Manager: Mark’s, Sports Experts, and Sport Chek (all owned by Canadian Tire) continue to operate in the dark when it comes to their global supply chain for clothing. They do not disclose the names and addresses of factories they source their garments from. That means human rights watch dogs and labour advocates can’t independently verify that garments sold under Canadian Tire’s private labels are manufactured in factories that are safe and where workers rights are respected, and can’t ask Canadian Tire for corrective action in specific factories when problems arise. Last year Canadian Tire reported that it sourced from 67 factories in Bangladesh, but didn’t say which factories. Attached to this letter is a list of 67 factories randomly selected from the list of factories in Bangladesh that have been inspected for safety by the Alliance for Worker Safety, of which Canadian Tire is a member. Could you please tell us if these are the 67 factories that are part of your global supply chain, or identify which of them is? Better yet, please follow the lead of other leading global retailers and institute public reporting of all factories you do use in Bangladesh and around the world. We are asking you to publicly disclose the names and addresses of all the factories you source your garments from. We want to be sure that workers employed in your global supply chain are: • treated fairly and with respect at work • paid a living wage • able to exercise their rights to form unions and bargain collectively • work in safe factories.

  • Price Spreads in Cut-Flower Marketing: Some Evidence from Bangladesh
    Bangladesh J. Agric. Econs XXVII, 2 (2004) 87-97 Research Note PRICE SPREADS IN CUT-FLOWER MARKETING: SOME EVIDENCE FROM BANGLADESH S. K. Raha Masuma Siddika ABSTRACT Flower marketing has been expanding rapidly but in an unorganized way. The present study has examined the existing marketing system, estimated marketing cost, margins of different flowers of different marketing channels. Flower growers received 30.75% to 60.42% of the consumer's taka while 24.71% to 58.5% were spent as the marketing cost. The net marketing margin varied from 3.0% to 37.83% of consumer's taka. Growers used channel I most though it involved highest cost of all the channels. Adoption of proper measures for the solution of the current problems would improve the efficiency of the marketing system which will in turn increase grower's share in consumer's taka. I. INTRODUCTION In Bangladesh small -scale flower production has initially started in late seventies by some innovative growers with the production of tuberose but large- scale commercial production was started from mid-eighties in Jhikargacha Upazila of Jessore district. Now around 10000 hectares of land is under flower cultivation ( Siddika 2004). The major flower growing districts are Jessore, Savar, Chuadanga, Mymensingh and Gazipur . Tuberose, rose, gladiolus and marigold are the major commercial flowers grown in Bangladesh. It is assumed that Jessore accounted for 60 % of production area and 80% of the area is occupied by only tuberose. At present flowers are being produced per year on about 500 hectares of land in Jhikargachha and Sharsha Upazilas of Jessore district.
