Cash for Work Project Overview: Bangladesh is a developing country but accordance to the density of population it is tremendous threat for the society, community, and also for Bangladesh. It is overlook that most of the people are living under poverty which affects fall in our economy and also individual life. Though Bangladesh has made significant progress in human development indicators in the last decade, but increase in prices of basic food commodities during the last few months has exposed the poorest segments of the population in the country to severe pressure with concerns of a worsening food security because of little earning and unemployment of the population.
Employment generation is one of the programmes under WFP's Emergency Operation targeted to vulnerable groups affected by high food prices and natural disasters in the country. EG activities will develop / rehabilitate drainage and irrigation infrastructures: embankments; rural market access roads, homestead raising, ground rising for flood shelters, emergency livestock paddocks and raised seed- beds. The WFP therefore has undertaken the emergency operation (EMOP1078.0) with an overall goal to complement the government of Bangladesh safety net programmes to alleviate the impact of high food prices, starving particularly through targeted program Employment Generation. In Bagerhat district in two upazila Shornonkhola and Mongla this program is running Project Objectives: The overall objective is to raise agricultural productivity in Bangladesh, contribute to self sufficiency and mitigate current and future vulnerabilities to high food prices and food insecurity.
Surveys- Baselines, marketing. Food needs assessment. Nutrition etc: Before doing the survey we had to think with the concentration because wrong observation may bring the penalty. So through PRA we selected the beneficiaries and scheme. According to the category we did the survey first and most vulnerable peoples name was enrolled in the project. The initiative step was taken after doing the survey, because some of the places of Bangladesh people were not getting food, education, medicine, and they were living under privilege, really it was heart touching. So after doing the survey and PRA we visited our selected beneficiaries' house so that right person may get the privilege to work here. After selecting the beneficiaries all the participants' names were endorsed by LGED and submitted to WFP. It was our visualization that it was significant to provide such help to the poorest people because if they get such kinds of help they will get new life and get the liberation to acquire the education and survive with the nourishment. In the remote area people can not feed properly because parents can not earn their demand as a result family members are starving. So it is big help for them to get such help to expand their life with the hope. Key factors affecting food security: Though Bangladesh is a developing country but it has numerous problem and these are remaining in every aspect of life. Present time it is big threat for Bangladesh that big savage/ SIDR has gone and people lost their living hope and also it is our economical inflation problem. In the market commodities price is high and different disaster is going on in Bangladesh. Some of the people are not getting their fundamental needs and deprived from their daily food. Really it is heart touching issue. Few days ago an unwelcome Aila took all the things and made them hopeless. Thousands and thousands people became shelter less lost their asset. They had no way to survive in the society. But it is big consolation that with the assistance of WFP, RRF implemented the project Employment Generation for the vulnerable people in the society. And beneficiaries got a job for while to exist in the society. Project
implementation: It was vital role to select the beneficiaries. Before selecting the beneficiaries we had to think with the deliberation. Because right person should get the right things. In our every aspect we took challenge to select the right beneficiaries. Before selecting the beneficiaries we did the survey and followed the rule which is given to the guide line. Though we selected our beneficiaries and scheme through PRA but we also checked the selected beneficiaries. Ultimately we enrolled them and endorsed by the LGED and submitted to WFP office. And it was the satisfaction that with the authenticity we enrolled the apt beneficiaries. And ultimately we overcome our first phase of this project.
