Scope of the Project |
: |
The Food Security for Vulnerable Group Development (FSVGD) for Women and their Dependents is a component of the nation-wide VGD Programme aimed at improving the socio-economic conditions of ultra-poor women. The project has benefited approximately 255,000 ultra poor women in 57 Upazilas (sub-district) of seven districts in northern Bangladesh (i.e. Dinajpur, Kurigram, Lalmonirhat, Naogoan, Panchagarh, Rajshahi and Thakurgoan). The FSVGD Project commenced in July 2001 and the Non Government Organizations' contract and projects activities ended on 31 December 2006. However, some parts of management activities have been continuing until June 2007.
The overall objective of the FSVGD Project is to contribute to the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, by achieving sustainable improvements in household food security and overall livelihood of the rural ultra poor households.
Under the present undertaking, the impact of the interventions will be evaluated through group and individual interviews of the 1950 beneficiaries (156 groups) statistically selected from 52 Unions belonging to 14 Upazilas under the seven northern districts, using structured and semi-structured questionnaires and open discussion. |
