September 2002 8 PDO-ICZM Inventory of Projects; November 2002 Introduction An important output of the PDO-ICZM project is a Priority Investment Program (output 3). The activities of this output include an inventory of projects (activity 3.1). The aim of this inventory is to support the formulation of Investment Concept Papers (ICPs) and corresponding harmonization & co-ordination procedures for their implementation. Scope of the report This inventory deals exclusively with projects in execution or approved for implementation. To prepare this inventory, an overview has been made of the projects and programs of the GoB from the Annual Development Program (ADP) 2001-02 and 2002-03. Fact sheets have been developed on the available information of selected projects of some agencies. Other agencies will be contacted for information of their projects in course of time. With this end in view the information will be updated regularly. The NGOs working in the coastal area have also been contacted and so far response has been received from 17 NGOs and fact sheets prepared on their activities. In addition, a database is being built-up on project concepts and proposed projects. This database is still incomplete but available at the PDO-ICZM. Structure of the report The report contains an index map showing the 19 districts of the coastal zone. Overviews of GoB and NGO projects in the coastal zone have been presented in tables 1 and 2, respectively. Fact sheets are included as Appendic A for selected GoB projects (bold & italics in Table 1) and appendix B for all NGO projects of Table 2. District-wise distribution of projects has been incorporated in Table 3 to show the location and concentration of presently ongoing projects in the coastal region. District-wise distribution of GoB and NGO projects is presented in tables 4 and 5, respectively. 1 PDO-ICZM Inventory of Projects; November 2002 2 PDO-ICZM Inventory of Projects; November 2002 Figure 1: Coastal zone map 3 PDO-ICZM Inventory of Projects; November 2002 4 PDO-ICZM Inventory of Projects; November 2002 Table 1: Overview – GoB projects BDT in Million SL Name of agency and project** Project Location Total cost Sources of period (District) (project project aid aid) Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) and Water Resource Planning Organisation (WARPO ) 01 Coastal Embankment 1995-96 Cox’s Bazar, 4980.30 IDA, EEC Rehabilitation Project, Phase-2 2002-03 Chittagong, Feni,

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).

  • Mamoni Health Systems Strengthening Activity (USAID Cooperative Agreement AID-388-LA-13-00004)
    MaMoni Health Systems Strengthening Activity (USAID Cooperative Agreement AID-388-LA-13-00004) Quarterly Report January 01, 2018– March 31, 2018 Submitted April 30, 2018 Cover Photo Story: Nijhum Dwip looks forward to a healthy future “I would deliver at home as I did before”, Shaheena said when she was asked what she would do if the health center were not there. Shaheena had her second baby delivered at the Nijhum Dwip (a remote island in Hatiya upazila on the south of Bangladesh) Union Health and Family Welfare Centre (UH&FWC) on the day the facility started functioning. For Shaheena, delivering at a health facility was hardly an option before. Shaheena lives in a village in Nijhum Dwip. The nearest health facility from Nijhum Dwip was in Jahajmara union which was hard-to-reach and expensive, would take at least 2-3 hours journey by engine boat and rikshaw van. For about 30,000 people who call Nijhum Dwip their home, ‘delivery at home’ had therefore been the only option. On November 1, 2017, the remote island got its first health center equipped with sufficient essentials to provide a range of basic healthcare services including normal delivery services. Six weeks later, the Nijhum Dwip UH&FWC started providing 24/7 normal delivery services to the community. Now the people of Nijhum Dwip, one of the hardest-to-reach areas in Bangladesh, have the option to avail normal delivery services by skilled birth attendants around-the-clock and free of cost. The establishment of the Nijhum Dwip UH&FWC represents a novel initiative undertaken by the district family planning department and local government with MaMoni HSS project playing the facilitation role.

    MaMoni Health Systems Strengthening Activity USAID Cooperative Agreement AID-388-LA-13-00004 Quarterly Report October 01, 2017– December 31, 2017 Submitted February 07, 2018 MaMoni Health Systems Strengthening Activity: FY18 Q1 Quarterly Report 1 Cover Photo Story: Paramedic Kirtonia recognized for her work The Union Health and Family Welfare Centre at Putijuri union in Bahubal Upazila, Habiganj was in bad shape when Smriti Kirtonia, a paramedic supported by the MaMoni HSS project, joined the facility in May 2016. The facility infrastructure was inadequate and there was little interest in the community to seek health services from the facility. Over the next year and a half, the situation improved considerably, thanks to the efforts of Kirtonia. Kirtonia started conducting eight satellite sessions a month in her catchment area to provide maternal, newborn, child health, family planning and nutrition services and used the platform to encourage mothers to visit the health facility to access services. In the union follow-up meetings, she entreated health workers to keep contact with expectant mothers over the phone. Like many paramedics or FWVs, she did not limit her services to only the official timeline (8:30 am to 2:30 pm). Instead, she started living in the FWV quarter and would readily extend her services around the clock with a smile on her face, effectively making the facility a 24/7 service delivery point. Very soon her reputation spread in the community and to villages even further out and mothers from the neighboring unions started coming to her. The service utilization in her facility started to soar - ANC visits rose from counts of about 30-40 to around 200, while the number of deliveries conducted at the facility increased from 3-5 per month to 18-20 per month.

  • Prospects for Rural Regional Development in the De- Agrarianizing Rural Bangladesh
    Prospects for Rural Regional Development in the De- Agrarianizing Rural Bangladesh A dissertation submitted to the University of Hawai’i at Manoa in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Urban and Regional Planning) By Saiful Momen 2016 Dissertation Committee: Clyde (Mike) Douglass, Chair Kem Lowry Krisnawati Suryanata James H. Spencer Reece Jones © Saiful Momen, 2016 ii Acknowledgement I wrote the words in this dissertation. But this dissertation came into being because of the generosity and active labor of many people. Their love (or pity!) for me is unfathomable and I feel enormously grateful to them. Dr. Mike Douglass, my adviser and the fountainhead of the ideas in this dissertation, was unbelievably patient and continued to encourage me to write even when I thought I had hit a wall. His scholarship and originality is only matched by his patience with students. What makes it remarkable is that he did all the helping while retired from his position at UH-Manoa, and away at a demanding position directing an academic/research program at the National University of Singapore. I am thankful for the countless number of hours he gave me over the years, the 3- hr long breakfasts on Sunday mornings, and the conversations we had. My gratitude is more than my command of English language can articulate. Dr. Karen Umemoto, our Chair graciously took personal interest in helping me graduate. Being an extraordinary scholar with a very busy schedule never prevented her from being approachable. On one occasion, she even arranged to pay me what was basically her own money after I was mistakenly not being paid for a work I did as a statistical analyst.
