For the two Inception Reports the Compendium also includes the Terms of Reference – defining objectives and scope of each study – that were used to invite research proposals. The Research Grant Scheme is a major component of the NFPCSP, which is jointly implemented by Food Planning and Monitoring Unit (FPMU) of the Food Division of the Ministry of Food and Disaster Management and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, counting on financial support from the European Union (EU) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The Research Grant Scheme funds policy – relevant food security research related to availability, access, and utilization of food identified in the research agenda of the FPMU. This includes 16 topics identified through a consultative process and approved by the Minister of Food and Disaster Management. This analytical undertaking is expected to inform policy making in Bangladesh consistently with the comprehensive food security policy framework defined in the National Food Policy and it’s Plan of Action, now embedded in the Sixth Five Year Plan and in the Country Investment Plan for Food Security, Agriculture and Nutrition. Terms of Reference were defined for all 16 topics and used to issue two public calls for proposals in April and November 2011. The award winning Institutions have been selected following the process approved by the NFPCSP’s Steering Committee, which is described in the Guidelines for Submission, Selection and Implementation (for details go on internet at www.nfpcsp.org/RGS) and includes advertisement of the Call for Proposals, administrative screening, technical evaluation and ranking; and final selection of the award winning proposals by the Research Grant Panel (a 10 member committee including member from Government, Civil society and UN organizations). The panel also issues recommendations for improving the selected research proposals. The NFPCSP supports and monitors research activities through it’s Technical Assistance Team (TAT) and Research Grant Administrator and mobilizing FAO expertise for the Asia Pacific Regional Office and HQ in Rome. This compendium is offered to the participants in the workshop on ‘Research to Inform Food and Nutrition Security Policies’ to be held on 7-8 May 2012 at the Ruposhi Bangla Hotel in Dhaka as background information to facilitate active participation in the debate. Indeed, the Workshop intends to provide an opportunity to review progress of the research programs with a view to (1) promote policy focus and relevance of the research program and (2) enhance technical quality of the research by facilitating dialogue between researchers and policy makers. 1 Research Number: 1 Title of the Research Project: Trends in the availability of agriculture land in Bangladesh Institution: Soil Resource Development Institute (SRDI), Ministry of Agriculture Principal Investigator: Mr. Nazmul Hassan Approved budget: Tk. 3,495,048 DRAFT Interim Results The Research Grant Initiative is component of the National Food Policy Capacity Strengthening Programme, and implemented by the Food Planning and Monitoring Unit (FPMU), Ministry of Food and Disaster Management and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) with the financial support of the EU and USAID. 1. Introduction Agriculture has a strategic function, because it is a main food supplier for people in Bangladesh. Different estimation methods of agricultural production provide various data and information, so their reliability is questionable. One source of error lies in information on acreage of agriculture fields, which results in calculations of planting area and yields. According to official data from Soil Resources Development Institute (Land and Soil Statistical Appraisal Book of Bangladesh, SRDI, 2010) agriculture land covers 9.5 million hectares in Bangladesh. On the other hand, according to Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) and the Department of Agriculture Extension, DAE (2011) as stated in the Krishi (agriculture) Diary (2011), it is about 9.098 million hectares. According to BBS (as stated in the Hand Book of Agricultural Statistics, published by Ministry of Agriculture, 2007), availability of cultivable land since 1980-81 to 2006-07 has changed as follows: Table.1. Availability of agricultural land since 1980-81 to 2006-07. (Area in Million Hectares) Year Total Land Net % of Net Year Total Land Net % of Net Area of Cultivable Cultivable Area of Cultivable Cultivable Bangladesh Land Land in Bangladesh Land Land in terms of terms of total area total area 1980-81 14.29 9.38 65.64 1993-94 14.84 8.75 58.96 1981-82 14.29 9.38 65.64 1994-95 14.84 8.77 59.10 1982-83 14.29 9.36 65.50 1995-96 14.84 8.72 58.76 1983-84 14.45 9.46 65.47 1996-97 14.85 8.24 55.49 1984-85 14.48 9.43 65.12 1997-98 14.85 8.36 56.30 1985-86 14.48 9.44 65.19 1998-99 14.85 8.43 56.77 1986-87 14.70 9.51 64.69 1999-00 14.85 8.45 56.90 1987-88 14.84 9.82 66.17 2000-01 14.85 8.40 56.57 1988-89 14.84 9.84 66.31 2001-02 14.84 8.48 57.14 1989-90 14.84 9.78 65.90 2002-03 14.84 8.42 56.74 1990-91 14.84 9.72 65.50 2003-04 14.84 8.40 56.60 1991-92 14.84 9.09 61.25 2004-05 14.84 8.44 56.87 1992-93 14.84 8.75 58.96 2005-06 14.84 8.42 56.74 2006-07 14.84 8.41 56.67 There is therefore a big difference between SRDI and DAE in the availability of agricultural land figure which is about 0.402 million hectares. This may be explained by difference in the way the data is collected in both institutions: SRDI generates data on land and soil resources through analyzing Aerial Photographs (Remotely Sensed Photographs) and ground truthing (soil survey) along with reviewing secondary information and maps such as the Reconnaissance Soil Survey (RSS) reports, topographic maps, DLR maps etc., and the time required for one cycle survey is about 10 years. On the other hand, DAE collect information 3 through their Sub-Assistant Agriculture Officers posted in every union of the country and the time period of survey is also very short. Table-1 also shows a big difference in the figures of agricultural land between BBS, DAE and SRDI. BBS collects data through Upazila/Thana Statistical Officer in prescribed forms and questionnaires. These data are sent to the Agricultural wing, BBS head quarter after checking and compiling at regional office level. BBS also use secondary data collected from other organizations such as the Department of Forestry, the Department of Fisheries, the Department of Meteorology, the Bangladesh Agricultural Development Corporation (BADC), the Department of Marketing (DAM) and the DAE.

  • Lamb Annual Report 2020
    ANNUAL REPORT | January 2018 - June 2019 Message from the Board Chairperson I am pleased to give my short message to anyone who reads this report of LAMB’s work for 2018/19. It has been a distinct pleasure to have been on the LAMB board for numerous years over the life of my career in Bangladesh of 33 years as an agriculture missionary then scientist. LAMB has evolved over the years, with this past year striking a distinct position. While we as the LAMB Governing Board use the Carver method of governance, this year is the first year where the reporting is using LAMB’s overall goals as the organizing structure (instead of departments). This is a remarkable step in the right direction whereby the fruits of LAMB’s health and development work can be more effectively measured and reported. This past year represents a renewed commitment toward excellence for the future. Everything from improved contacts with local government and health facilities to the NGO Bureau, points LAMB to a brighter future. LAMB responded to flooding in their area by contacts with the UN agencies and became a conduit for relief, proving LAMB’s resilience in not only their forte of health work but also to respond to the needs of the community. A quick perusal of this report will give the reader a real flavour for where LAMB has been in the past year, the results of years of efforts with the local community, and of course wholeness of healing many persons with various illnesses. LAMB is at a cross road; it can remain the same consistent hospital and development team or it can increase its access to finance and investment to become a successful and sustainable hospital, serving both the poor but also the needs of the increasing lower middle income society as Bangladesh people have higher incomes.

  • Annual Report 2016
    ANNUAL REPORT 2016 Introducing LAMB's Updated Brand A bit about LAMB World Mission Prayer League (LAMB Hospital) or 'LAMB' is a registered International NGO in Bangladesh and is a separately constituted organization of the World Mission Prayer League, Inc., based in Minneapolis, MN, USA. Since 1997 LAMB has used its own brand to more clearly communicate who we are in Bangladesh. After twenty years of using that logo, we now present a new brand that provides some consistency from the past and with a new modern look. The Design The new logo design carries over some important aspects from the old. The map of Bangladesh has been put into an artistic design using the shape of Bangladesh. The cross of Jesus Christ has been adapted and communicates our Christian identity and focus on health care.We are a multilingual community, hence the use of both Bangla and English in our logo and tag lines. The tag lines 'That All May Have Abundant Life' remains as LAMB's ultimate purpose coming from God's Word and 'Integrated Rural Health and Development' explains in part how we are going about doing it. The Color Palette Scarlet : The use of the color Scarlet represents LAMB's Christian identity and the power that is in the blood of Jesus Christ. His precious blood redeems us, 'as of a lamb without blemish and without spot'. His blood brings us into fellowship with God, reconciles us to God, cleanses us from sin and gives us power over the devil. LAMB is committed to sacrificial service to the people of Bangladesh as exemplified by the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
