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.

    Vulnerability and Adaptation to Climate Change in Coastal and Drought Prone Areas of Bangladesh: Health and WASH ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH UNIT, WHO August 2015 pg. i Copyright @ WHO | 2015 Study Management and Technical Inputs Shamsul Gafur Mahmood, NPO, WHO Ahammadul Kabir, National Consultant, Climate Change, WHO Study Conducted: Dr Shannon Rutherford Dr Zahirul Islam Professor Cordia Chu Centre for Environment and Population Health Griffith University, Australia pg. i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Water scarcity and poor water quality contributed significantly to direct and indirect health impacts related to water born, vector-borne diseases water related diseases such as diarrhoea, dysentery, arsenicosis etc. which reduces the health security of livelihood. Despite substantial gains in provision of safe water supply in many areas of Bangladesh through improved water supply sources comprising different types of water technologies, some regions of Bangladesh still continued to suffer from water scarcity and quality. Information on the extent to which long term climate changes, weather variability have already been impacted or will impact on water availability and water quality with subsequent impacts on health across country is limited, though future projections of climate change for the South Asian region illustrated that drought conditions will be worsen and water quality issues related to extreme events, flooding, sea-level rise and saline intrusion will continue. This study was undertaken by the Environmental Health Unit of WHO to gather some preliminary evidence of the community perceptions about climate changes, weather variability and climate extremes in coastal and drought prone areas on livelihood mainly in relation to the water and health and the capacities of the communities for adaptation.

We hope that the contents of this report will help the people understand the overall human rights situation in the country. We further expect that both government and non-government stakeholders working for human rights would be acquainted with the updated human rights conditions and take necessary steps to stop repeated offences. On the other hand, in 2018, the constitutionally guaranteed rights of freedom of assembly and association witnessed a sharp decline by making digital security act-2018. Further, the overall human rights situation significantly deteriorated. Restrictions on the activities of political parties and civil societies, impunity to the excesses of the security forces, extrajudicial killing in the name of anti-drug campaign, enforced disappearance, violence against women, arbitrary arrests and assault on opposition political leaders and activists, intimidation and extortion are considered to be the main reasons for such a catastrophic state of affairs.

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.

    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).
