The Hunger Project-Bangladesh
Steps have been taken to build a hunger-free social movement at the Union level through the participation of people from all sections of society to achieve self-reliance. A group of dedicated volunteers has been formed, committed to the vision of a hunger-free and self-reliant Bangladesh. They work with
local communities to inspire collective action, strengthen community leadership, and promote sustainable social and economic development.
Initiatives develop leadership among grassroots women as key agents of change, strengthen women’s political participation, and promote positive attitudes toward girls, contributing to greater gender equality, inclusive decision-making, and sustainable social development across communities throughout Bangladesh.
Initiatives strengthen the capacities of elected representatives and provide technical support to promote transparent, accountable, and effective local governance, enabling inclusive development, improved public services, and the establishment of SDG-oriented unions that respond effectively to community needs.
Continuous advocacy addresses existing inequalities, promotes equitable access to public resources, engages influential members of society, and advances good governance at all levels, fostering accountability, social inclusion, citizen participation, and a more just and equitable society.
With the aim of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), rural communities in Bangladesh will take initiatives and implement activities from their own perspectives to accomplish the SDG targets. To realize this vision, The Hunger Project has developed a community-led creative development approach that focuses on inspiring, motivating, and organizing grassroots people, while also strengthening the capacity of local governments and providing technical support.This approach has already been effectively implemented in various areas. The unions where this approach has been applied have demonstrated visible progress in achieving the MDGs/SDGs. A notable example of this success is Betaga Union of Fakirhat Upazila in Bagerhat District, along with other unions where The Hunger Project has been implementing its programs.
