Introduction
USAID/Bangladesh's goal is to reduce the proportion of Bangladeshis living below the poverty line. That percentage has declined from 80% to 45% since 1971. The program achieves the following U.S. National Interests and Strategic Goals: Economic Prosperity through opening markets and promoting broad-based economic growth; Democracy by strengthening democratic institutions and developing a more responsible civil society with greater female participation; and Humanitarian Response by minimizing the human cost of natural disasters. The program is a major contributor to the Global Issue of stabilizing world population and protecting human health .

The Development Challenge: Bangladesh is one of the world's most densely populated countries, with 125 million people, i.e. 860 people per square kilometer. This extreme population pressure on the country's resources, along with a fragile and nascent modern sector that needs economic reform, make Bangladesh one of the poorest countries in the world. Some 56 million Bangladeshi citizens live below the poverty line, measured by consumption of less than 2,122 calories a day, the minimum caloric standard for an average adult.

USAID/Bangladesh has launched a new integrated family planning and health program aimed to reduce fertility and improve family health. USAID's efforts to reduce fertility contribute to world wide population stabilization, improved maternal/child health and reduced burden on the domestic resource base. The total fertility rate in Bangladesh dropped to 3.3 in 1996/7 from over 5.1 in 1974. The long term results have also been impressive: the contraceptive prevalence rate has risen from 30% in 1986 to 49% in 1997 and the average Bangladeshi woman will now have 27 great grandchildren instead of 216. USAID's contribution to reducing the fertility rate includes support for marketing of pills and condoms; high-quality and efficient service delivery; efficient operation of the family planning logistics system; information and communication programs; operations research; and quality assurance initiatives to further improve service quality.

As part of this integrated effort USAID is working to improve family health to reduce unacceptably high infant, child, and maternal mortality. Customer surveys have shown that endemic poor health significantly affects family income and national productivity. In the health sector, infant mortality dropped from 128 per 1,000 in 1986 to 82 by 1996/7. Child mortality (children from 1 - 5 years of age) dropped from 59 per 1,000 live births in 1986 to 37 in 1996. USAID is contributing to these reductions through support for immunizations, reproductive health, and acute respiratory infection control. By early 1996, 64% of urban infants had been completely vaccinated, up from only 5% in 1986. Oral rehydration therapy, developed in Bangladesh with substantial USAID support in the early 1970s, prevented an estimated 40,000 deaths among children under five from diarrhea in 1996.

With nearly half of its population undernourished, lack of food security is a second major constraint to development in Bangladesh. USAID is improving the food security of the poor by increasing the availability of food, the ability of the poor to access food, and the nutritional value of food for the poor. USAID is achieving food security by developing and disseminating productive, environmentally sound technologies and seeds to poor people; providing food grains to the poor and helping better orient the Government of Bangladesh (GOB) food and agricultural policies towards food needs of the poor; increasing the availability of fish in ponds and open waters; increasing agricultural productivity through

extensive improvements in key rural road networks and improving operation of Bangladesh's rural electrification program; and creating an enabling environment within which small and microentrepreneurs can operate profitably and create more jobs for the poor.

Bangladesh is now virtually self-sufficient in rice, and has recently increased homestead vegetable and fish cultivation. USAID programs in 1997 specifically increased the production of fish in household ponds by 2,700 MT and vegetables in home gardens by more than 30,000 MT. Commercial imports of U.S. wheat now average $50 million a year. Recent USAID small and microenterprise assistance activities have resulted in 1,600 new jobs, and $5.3 million in added annual income for the poor. Credit to over 30,000 poor women has created more than 70,000 jobs, resulting in most borrowers rising above the poverty line. USAID's work in rural power means 16 million additional people now have access to electricity and 5 million new jobs have been generated through at least 163,000 small rural businesses and 62,500 irrigation connections.

The democracy program aims at improving the quality of elections, making local elected bodies more responsive to the people, developing a legal advocacy program for the poor, including greater respect for their legal rights, developing alternative family dispute resolution mechanisms, and strengthening independent labor organizations representing garment workers.

The USAID program helped ensure free and fair elections and high voter turnout in the 1996 Parliamentary elections (73% of eligible voters - over 50% women), and again in the 1997 December country-wide local Union Council elections. For the first time female candidates were directly elected in Union Council elections and over 47,000 women contested for seats.

Public interest litigation (PIL) activities opened the way for class-action law suits on behalf of certain classes of citizens, including the poor. USAID is helping to empower the poor through legal awareness training and alternative dispute resolution programs targeting 20 million beneficiaries, and by supporting the first independent, democratically organized union federation in Bangladesh.

On the management side, the Mission has continued to reengineer its operations and structures, including team development and collocation, integrating embassy officials (State and USIS) into the team process, and aligning the USAID program more closely with the U.S. Mission goals. USAID also has consolidated its previous framework of eight strategic objectives into three broader strategic objectives. By taking a leadership role in the Agency's reengineering process, the Mission has absorbed an approximately 1/3 cut in U.S. and local staff while still achieving planned results.

Other Donors: In November 1997, USAID and the donor community pledged $1.9 billion for development activities in Bangladesh (the U.S. proportion is 4%). Most major donors are represented in Bangladesh. The five largest, in order of magnitude, are the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Japan, the European Union (EU) and USAID. USAID leads several local consultative groups (comprising donors and the GOB) which meet regularly on the major sectors.

FY 1999 PROGRAM: USAID's strategy for FY 1999 to help Bangladesh lower poverty levels concentrates on achieving replacement fertility levels, improving health status of the population, increasing food security for the poor, and broadening participation by the poor in democratic institutions and processes. Support for family planning and maternal and child health programs leads to smaller and healthier families, thereby reducing pressures on the country's finite land base and resources. Programs, including sustainable agriculture and natural resource management, that work to increase access to, and availability and utilization of, food by the poor lead to reduced malnutrition. Broadening participation in democratic processes is expected to lead to greater attention to the needs of the poor in the distribution of the nation's resources. All of these factors contribute to the U.S. foreign policy goal of helping Bangladesh contribute to creating a more secure, prosperous and democratic world.

PROGRAM: BANGLADESH
TITLE AND NUMBER: Fertility Reduced and Family Health Improved, 388-SO01
STATUS: Continuing
PROPOSED OBLIGATION AND FUNDING SOURCE: FY 1999: $32,000,000 DA/Population,
$21,040,000 Child Survival and Disease
INITIAL OBLIGATION: FY 1997 ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE: FY 2004

Purpose: Population density and growth affect the ability of Bangladesh to feed itself, create jobs, and provide health, education, and other public services. High fertility and mortality increase the vulnerability of poor households to illness-induced income erosion and expenditure crises, and reduce the quality of life. Although fertility and infant and child mortality rates have declined substantially over the last two decades, further efforts are needed to achieve replacement level fertility and eventual population stabilization and reduce mortality rates to acceptable levels. Despite recent progress, almost ten percent of infants die before their first birthday. Maternal mortality is among the highest in the world at approximately 4.5 per 1000 live births. Controlling population growth and reducing mortality have been identified by Bangladesh as critical development goals.

USAID Role and Achievements to Date: The USAID program supports health and family planning service delivery through local, non-governmental organizations (NGOs); social marketing; information, education, and communication (IEC) activities; operations and survey research; quality assurance; and management of the distribution of contraceptive supplies. USAID has played a significant role in the achievement of large, measurable reductions in fertility and infant and child mortality over the past decade. Fertility has decreased from over 5.1 in 1986 to 3.3 births per woman in 1996/7. Use of contraceptive methods has increased from 30% of married women in 1986 to 49% in 1996/7. Approximately 40,000 deaths among children under five were prevented in 1996 due to use of oral rehydration therapy. Infant mortality has been reduced from 128 per 1000 live births in 1986 to 82 in 1996/7. Similarly, child (children from 1-5 years) mortality declined from 59 to 37 per 1000 live births from 1986 to 1996/7. As a result of polio eradication efforts, the annual number of polio cases has declined from an estimated 2,300 in 1994 to an estimated 40 cases in 1997.

Description: To further decrease fertility and mortality and strengthen the capacity of Bangladeshi institutions to manage and support the program on their own, USAID's program supports five priority activities. First, it expands access to essential health (including immunization and diarrheal disease treatment) and family planning services through community level clinic sites managed by local NGOs, through technical assistance to governmental health institutions, and through private sector entities such as the Social Marketing Company and private providers. USAID supports the control of HIV/AIDS through the social marketing of condoms, education and condom promotion programs targeted at high risk populations, IEC programs, sexually transmitted infection control initiatives, and policy dialogue. USAID also provides support to the eradication of polio in Bangladesh. These services are targeted to under-served groups and low-performing geographical areas. Second, the program increases awareness and use of health and family planning services, and identifies actions that individuals, families and communities can take to protect and provide for their own health through IEC activities. Third, it improves the quality of information and services available, by upgrading standards, improving training, and quality assurance approaches for all essential health services including family planning, maternal health care, child survival and HIV/AIDS. Fourth, it strengthens support systems needed to ensure availability of essential pharmaceuticals and supplies, access to relevant and accurate information, and improved planning, monitoring and decision-making. Finally, the program improves programmatic, institutional and financial sustainability through training, technical assistance and phasing over of responsibility for management and implementation to Bangladeshi partner organizations. Measures to improve cost-effectiveness and cost-recovery are being tested and implemented at all levels of the program. Operations research is used to identify implementation problems, test and scale up improved service delivery approaches. USAID is actively involved in policy

dialogue with the GOB, the NGO sector and other donors with the aim of improving the cost-effectiveness and quality of services, e.g. more clearly dividing work between the GOB and NGO's as well as introducing contraceptive cost sharing or recovery in GOB and NGO programs.

Host Country and Other Donors: The GOB provides the majority of all funding for the national family planning and health program, with a FY 1996/7 budget of $420 million. The GOB supports the delivery of family planning and health services through its rural and urban infrastructure of facilities and personnel. The World Bank and its consortium of nine bilateral and five multilateral donors support the delivery of essential health and family planning services primarily through the government sector, with targeted interventions in such areas as nutrition, communicable disease control, and strengthening of government training. Annual expenditures approach $100 million. The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) provides approximately $10 million of annual support for specific child survival and selected maternal health activities. Since 1995, under the Common Agenda initiative, the Japanese Government has provided or committed over $15 million for the immunization program (primarily vaccines), the expansion of family planning services through local governments, and support of NGOs. After the World Bank and its partner consortium, USAID is the second largest donor in the population/health sector.

Beneficiaries : USAID's service delivery support through its NGO partners benefits approximately 35 million persons, about one-quarter of the population. Mass media communications programs, including those for HIV/AIDS, reach about 40% of the population. National level assistance that benefits all Bangladeshis is provided for: social marketing of key health products, distribution systems for maternal and child health/family planning (MCH/FP) commodities, immunization including polio eradication and disease surveillance, and quality assurance.

Principal Contractors, Grantees or Agencies: USAID implements activities through U.S. and local private firms, universities, and non-governmental organizations. The major partners are the International Center for Diarrheal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR,B) for operations research; the Partnership for Child Health Care for child survival activities, Access for Voluntary Surgical Contraception (AVSC) for quality improvement initiatives, the John Snow Incorporated (JSI) Research and Training Institute for urban family planning and health service delivery, as well as logistics management, and Pathfinder International for rural family planning and health service delivery.

PROGRAM: BANGLADESH
TITLE AND NUMBER: Food Security for the Poor Improved, 388-SO02
STATUS: Continuing
PROPOSED OBLIGATION & FUNDING SOURCE: FY 1999: $6,930,000 DA; $3,300,000 CSD;
$19,360,000 P.L. 480 Title II
INITIAL OBLIGATION: FY 1996 ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE: FY 2003

Purpose: To improve the food security of the poor of Bangladesh.

USAID Role & Achievements To Date: USAID has taken a leadership role in working with the Bangladesh government and the donor community to shift food grain distribution programs towards the needs of the poor. USAID has also supported improvements in agricultural productivity through policy reform and technical innovation, agricultural research, and rural roads and electricity for irrigation and food processing. USAID has worked to increase the food security of the poor by providing technical assistance, training, and commodities to improve: (a) access for the poor to improved rural infrastructure; (b) access for the poor to credit (predominantly women); (c) disaster preparedness; and, (d) the operating efficiencies of financial institutions and private businesses.

The result of these efforts has been a remarkable evolution in Bangladesh from a famine-prone country in the early 1970s, to a country capable of handling food emergencies by the 1990s. Food production has doubled since 1971. The GOB has reoriented its large public food system away from competition with the private sector and towards helping the poor with safety net food programs the private sector cannot provide. Productivity in fisheries, vegetable production, livestock, forestry, and other high potential agricultural subsectors has grown rapidly over the past several years. USAID-supported home gardening and fish culture activities are allowing over 4.3 million poor people to produce and consume more nutritious food. Over 31,000 poor families have benefited from increased access to credit. More than 14 million people now have access to safer shelters during times of disaster. Nearly 7,000 kilometers of farm-to-market roads have been rehabilitated, creating both jobs and greater access to markets and services. Sixteen million rural people now have access to electricity, generating more than five million jobs in the rural areas. Most significantly, USAID's efforts together with those of other donors, have led to a decline in stunting, a measure of long-term nutritional deprivation, from 71.4 % of Bangladeshi children in 1991 to 60.3% in 1996.

Description: To increase the consumption of food by the poor, USAID is focusing on increasing the availability of nutritious food for poor households as well as increasing household incomes to purchase that food. Activities to promote the availability of nutritious food involve NGOs and international organizations developing and disseminating productive, environmentally sound technologies and seeds to poor people in the areas of fish farming and homestead vegetable production. With the use of P.L. 480 resources and through the food policy activity, USAID is providing food grains to the poor and helping better orient the GOB food and agricultural policies towards food needs of the poor. USAID is helping to increase agricultural productivity by making extensive improvements in key rural road networks and expanding Bangladesh's rural electrification program. In addition, local currency resources from Title III resources are being used to support the transfer of agricultural technologies to poor farmers, microcredit activities, and the eradication of illiteracy through non-formal education programs.

To increase household income, USAID focuses on creating an enabling environment within which small and microentrepreneurs can operate profitably and create more jobs for the poor. This involves improving business efficiency through policy change, creating and/or expanding Micro and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), adopting improved management practices and technologies in those firms, and increasing credit to finance investment.

These programs also contribute to improving Bangladesh's level of disaster preparedness to mitigate the amount of property and related income loss caused by frequently occurring disasters by helping to construct an improved rural road newtwork and related infrastructure such as bridges and culverts.. In addition, the Mission has designed a new environmental activity to increase the availability of fish in the open waters, reversing the current trend which shows an alarming decline in the number of fish in these waters. Also, as urban areas in Bangladesh decline, future Title II resources will be used to support rural infrastructure development, agricultural development, disaster management, and urban slum improvement.

Host Country and Other Donors: While many donors are working in the areas listed above, USAID plays a lead role in several sectors, including rural electrification (a program which we pioneered in Bangladesh), agribusiness, nutrition, agricultural policy, and food policy (including the reorientation of the public food system). USAID is a major donor in the rehabilitation of rural roads, an effort which is led by the World Bank and the ADB, followed by the World Food Program. The United Nations Development Program (UNDP), UNICEF, and the U.K.'s Department for International Development all contribute to disaster preparedness and response activities, while the UNDP takes the lead in coordinating the response efforts. The GOB, local NGOs and Bangladeshi farmers have all invested in a broad array of activities to increase agricultural production. Food grain programs are supported by most major donors through the GOB. The GOB contributes to the implementation of the majority of activities through the provision of counterpart resources and logistic support.

Beneficiaries: Over 4.3 million poor Bangladeshi households, particularly women and children under five years old, will benefit from this program. Over 31,000 poor families have benefitted from increased access to credit.

Principal Contractors, Grantees, or Agencies: USAID implements food security activities in partnership with ministries of the Bangladesh government; U.S. international and local NGOs including: International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM), Asian Vegetable Research & Development Center (AVRDC); International Maize & Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT); Cornell University's Collaborative Research Support Program (CRSP); HKI; International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI); ICDDR,B; International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC); Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council (BARC); Palli Karma Sahayak Foundation (PKSF); Non-Formal & Adult Literacy Program (NFALP); Cooperative for American Relief Everywhere (CARE); National Rural Electric Cooperative Administration (NRECA); University of Maryland's Center for Institutional Reform & and the Informal Sector (IRIS); International Development Enterprises (IDE); and Grameen Bank.

PROGRAM: BANGLADESH
TITLE AND NUMBER : Broadened Participation in Local Decision Making and More Equitable Justice, Especially for Women, 388-SO03
STATUS: Continuing
PROPOSED OBLIGATION AND FUNDING SOURCE: FY 1999: $2,000,000 DA/Democracy
INITIAL OBLIGATION: FY 1996 ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE: FY 2000

Purpose: To broaden participation in local decision making and to make justice more equitable, especially for women.

USAID Role and Achievements to Date: USAID-funded programs for voter education, awareness, and election monitoring had a positive impact in the June 1996 Parliamentary elections which were considered to be free and fair (an unprecedented 73% of eligible voter turnout of which over 50% were women). Similar success in the December 1997 nation-wide local (UP) elections was achieved as a result of voter awareness/civic education efforts in expanded target areas and through the mass media (average turnout was over 80%). Customer surveys show that a majority of voters (with a significant increase in women) find themselves to be more informed/judicious in casting votes. In the December 1997 local elections in 4,298 local districts, a number of beneficiaries (mostly female) of several USAID supported NGOs contested the polls (a little over 47,000 women contested the UP polls nation-wide) and around 30%-40% of them won.

Public Interest Litigation (PIL) activities in 1997 expanded the coverage of issues that resulted in the filing of 15 class-action suits to protect/restore the rights of the affected beneficiaries, including many poor. Three sub-grantees of USAID are pioneers in the advocacy of PIL. Due to the efforts of one of these three, the Bangladeshi High Court ruled, in a case of first impression, that a public-interest organization may represent a group of citizens in a class-action law suit. This ruling gave access to, and now permits civic minded legal groups to file cases on behalf of certain classes of citizens, including the poor.

USAID support encouraged some 20 NGOs providing legal awareness training to form a network to jointly develop materials, coordinate activities and undertake awareness programs in family law, marriage law, and property/inheritance law. Because the knowledge gained through legal awareness programs often cannot be used, due to the resistance of local elites, three NGOs have developed training programs that equip local human rights activists and legal workers to more effectively engage local elites on legal awareness issues. By social mobilization, training, advocacy and media, the program will result in 20 million adults being effectively aware of their legal rights by the year 2000.

Three NGOs that have received USAID assistance to train their staff in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), through their established training centers, continue to offer their knowledge and experience to more than 50 other NGOs on ADR. The overall efforts of all of the NGOs working in ADR has led to increased reliability and use of improved techniques in settling local disputes, more women clients accessing ADR, and more representation by women in ADR panels.

USAID supports the newly-formed Bangladesh Independent Garment-Workers Union Federation (BIGUF), the first independent and democratically formed such organization in Bangladesh. The BIGUF was formally registered in July 1997 and has a current active membership of 15,000 workers. An additional 40,000 workers have expressed their intention to form unions and join BIGUF. BIGUF receives USAID-funded technical and organizational assistance from the American Center for International Labor Solidarity (ACILS - formerly Asian-American Free Labor Institute (AAFLI)) . Day and evening literacy/awareness classes, day schools for child labor, and health clinics are operating in response to members' requests. Entities like BIGUF contribute to the development of a democratic civil

society and, with USAID's financial support through the year 2000, BIGUF is expected to further expand and consolidate.

Description: This program aims to strengthen the poor's ability to advocate their own interests; enhance the quality of elections; improve the competence of local elected bodies (LEBs) to identify and meet customer needs; increase understanding and respect for the legal rights of the poor; broaden availability and use of local channels to resolve disputes fairly; and increase the ability of garment workers to vindicate their rights through strengthening of independent sustainable labor organizations. Activities include: (1) programs to assist local voters and community associations to know more about funding, policies and programs that affect them and to strengthen their ability to interact with LEBs over such issues; (2) programs to make voters better aware of polling procedures, their voting rights, and the campaign standards to which they can hold political actors and election officials accountable; (3) programs to enable officials of LEBs to be better informed about, and more responsive to, citizen interests and to encourage women to stand for election; (4) nonformal education on human rights/legal affairs for the poor and those elites involved in resolving disputes locally; (5) nonformal mediation skills training for those involved in dispute resolution at the local level; and (6) technical guidance on the organization/operation of an independent, democratic union federation for garment workers.

Host Country and Other Donors: Program implementation is carried out primarily through NGOs/PVOs. In 1997, the EU through the European Commission contributed $1.2 million in parallel financing to the program as part of its commitment under the U.S./EU Transatlantic Initiative. Also in 1997, USAID and six bilateral donors collaborated to support domestic Local (UP) election observation activities. World Bank, ADB, UNDP, Britain, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Canada also have programs in the Democracy/Governance Sector. The International Labor Organization and UNICEF are involved with child labor issues in the garment industry.

Beneficiaries: Ultimate beneficiaries are the approximately 50 million socially and economically disadvantaged poor Bangladeshis who, by becoming better informed about democratic processes, institutions, and issues, will be better able to exert their influence over public policy decisions and the allocation of public resources. Their understanding of their legal rights and access to redress will be increased. Program beneficiaries include members of local associations trained in advocacy techniques, locally elected officials introduced to new ways of interacting with customers, women encouraged to stand for election, and individuals who receive training in mediation skills and ADR techniques and members of the BIGUF.

Principal Contractors, Grantees, or Agencies: The Asia Foundation (TAF), the Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (the largest national level Bangladeshi NGO), other sub-grantees of TAF, and ACILS.
