  1. Rajapur Hati, Jamalganj Group 2 Observations 7th Lesson Learning Workshop Sylhet, September 6, 2012

  2. Creation of CBOs (33 CBOs created in CNRS innovation project of 1500 BHH) • We visited one CBO with 43 people

  3. Activities Observed • Khasland transfer (all members gained access to khasland, 32 members permanent) • Livelihood conditions improved afterwards, through cultivation of crops – regionally optimal cropping patterns developed by CBO • One bank account opened for each CBO • Our CBO managed to save 1,34,000 BDT from sale of crops

  4. Addressing Vulnerabilities • To cater to the needs of elderly woman, CNRS employed labour to till her land • Women CBO members said they did not meet in public sphere so often before – mobility and confidence increased • Awareness about family planning, dowry, sanitation improved

  5. Recommendations • Government needs to build embankments to prevent damage by flash floods • Currently only one IGA – harvest of khasland during dry season – they need other IGAs to make money during wet season – boat, net • They need to protect their homesteads from floods through walls – CNRS built walls around 15 villages in other project

  6. Challenges • Crops damaged by flash flood • Early marriage

  7. Intergenerational problem

  8. CBO, with land, now have hope?

  9. Woman married to mentally disabled man, supports him, her 2 kids, & deaf father

  10. Nani, begs to feed her daughter and 4 granddaughters

  11. Bleak future?

  12. 25 year old, married at 12, now has 4 children, breaks stones for Lafarge

  13. Woman with twins and two other daughters, old mom, no man

  14. Walls around villages

  15. CNRS planted forests

  16. Observations • Almost primitive, lack a critical awareness about their entitlements or rights, not particularly upset about their situation • Women taking for granted their situations, oppression by menfolk, lack of connectivity to rest of nation but not holding gob resp • Very isolated, low levels of education, large families (3-4 kids) • Still much work to be done....

  17. Conclusion With the blessings of Shah Jalal, let us get on with our Manifesto, to bring about some sustainable positive policy changes to support the citizens of Bangladesh.
