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
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. -

A Baseline Survey on the Availability of Black Bengal Breeding Bucks in Different Districts of Bangladesh
J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 9(1): 91–96, 2011 ISSN 1810-3030 A baseline survey on the availability of Black Bengal breeding bucks in different districts of Bangladesh M. A. M. Y. Khandoker, A. S. Apu, S. S. Husain and D. R. Notter1 Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh-2202, Bangladesh 1Department of Animal and Poultry Sciences, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, USA Email: [email protected] Abstract The present study was conducted to assess the availability of Black Bengal breeding bucks in five districts from the Northern part (Lalmonirhat and Rangpur), Central part (Tangail and Mymensingh) and Southern part (Khulna) of Bangladesh and also to explore the relationship between distance of does from these breeding bucks and type of scarcity. The data were collected using a pre-tested questionnaire from 100 goat rearers of 100 villages in five districts. In this study, the selected characteristics of the respondents and other factors on the availability of Black Bengal breeding bucks were considered as independent variable whereas type of scarcity was considered as dependent variable. The buck and doe ratios were 1:164, 1:138, 1:114, 1:127 and 1:96 in Lalmonirhat, Rangpur, Tangail, Khulna and Mymensingh district, respectively. The pooled buck and doe ratio was 1:128. More than 70% farmers faced severe shortage of breeding bucks for serving their does in the above districts which ultimately represent the overall situation of the country. Almost all farmers (100%) had to depend on natural mating to serve their does except the farmers of Mymensingh where 12% farmers depended on artificial insemination in goat. -
