RESPONSES

ENVIRONMENT CONSERVATION

Over the last two decades, environment issues have been getting ground in the global arena. Now days it is evident that environment affect every aspect of human lives significantly. Environment pollution and treats have also affected Bangladesh. The entire factor responsible for environment pollution are very much prevalence in Bangladesh. Rapid and unplanned urban growth and industrialization, use of dangerous chemicals, inadequate disposal of toxic waste, industrial pollution and indiscriminate cutting of trees, unabated population growth, improper disposal of industrial waste, like ship breaking yards etc. are believed to be responsible for environmental degradation of Bangladesh. Moreover, reserve forest is gradually decreasing due to many obvious reasons.

Considering the intensity of the situation, JOGAJOG has placed more attention to environment conservation. It is done through mass awareness, disbursing credit for tree plantation, nursery and advocacy etc. Moreover, JOGAJOG has been implementing a project titled ‘‘Poverty alleviation and environment conservation through cultivation of endangered bamboo in Chittagong Hill Tracts’’ with the financial assistance from CIDA. As per project work plan a total number of 48,000 sapling were distributed to 1080 target beneficiaries.

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS AND MANAGEMENT

Bangladesh is situated in a very critical zone of the world. Geographically the region is predominantly rural agrarian in nature where 95% are dependent on agriculture production. But this is their only source of living. Almost every year natural calamities like flood, Tornado cyclone and other natural calamities have been affected them. These disasters have tremendous affect on environment and ecological balance. Such sovering concern as global climatic change its sustainability in the global sense. Unawareness of the environmental problem of the region set by JOGAJOG with appropriate management and disaster preparedness.

JOGAJOG has trained 30 workers of Sandwip to take appropriate steps on disaster hit and distributed 3,00,000 tk as relief in the fiscal year 2006-20007

STREET CHILDREN PROGRAM

POVERTY ALLEVIATION PROGRAM

JOGAJOG has been working directly in the field of poverty reduction and removing economic disparity and inequality from society since its inception through various interventions. The strategies adopted by JOGAJOG were as follows :

Identification and formation of groups

JOGAJOG conduct a baseline survey before initiating work to identify real distress people and organized them into groups for easy delivery of services. Special emphasis is given to woman, widows, divorced woman and handicapped considering their vulnerability.

Micro- credit

Micro financing has been the core activities of JOGAJOG. Its has continued disbursing micro-credit to initiate enterprise on the basis of need assessment, interest and worthiness of target members on soft and flexible terms and conditions. During the reporting year JOGAJOG has disbursed loan to the tune of tk. 5800000 to 2858 target members of whom 837 were female. Regular monitoring and supervision is done to ensure loan utilization. The achievement is shown below –

Entrepreneurship Development

JOGAJOG has been striving for entrepreneurship development of target people to pave the way for achieving the goal of self-employment. Apart from micro –credit support, JOGAJOG has been organized various skill development training for management development for efficient management of enterprises. During the year, JOGAJOG organized enterprise development training for 18 target people so that they can attain necessary skill for operating business.

Computer distribution

JOGAJOG distributed 108 computer donated by Young One of Koria, among 540 youths (108 groups) of unemployed Juvenile of 16 words of Chittagong City Corporation area. The unemployed youths will have a source of income from the income of computer and will also create a provide environment for skill development training and viable IGA.

STREET CHILDREN PROGRAM

Street Children

In Bangladesh, as in many other developing countries, large cities are overcrowded with dense slums, squatter settlements and pavement dwellers having extremely limited access to basic services.

A particular vulnerable group in this regard is ‘Street Children’. They live and grow up on the margin of society in a state of neglect and deprivation, often without protection, without education, affection, care and guidance from the adult members of the family. Their presence and situation is symptomatic of social problems such as poverty, overpopulation, unemployment, illiteracy and the absence of alternative options to fulfill the minimum basic rights’ fulfillment of these children and their families.

The project defines street children as ‘Children below the age of 18 years who are living, working, playing and sleeping on the street and are deprived of basic rights (ARISE report: A Review of Existing Services relating to street children, December 1999). Minimum age of the street children has been considered by the project 6 years in its design.

Although street children are not new phenomena in Bangladesh, the hard fact is that at neither macro-level nor micro level, appropriate data or reliable statistics are available on their number, their actual living conditions, needs and interests. According to the ‘Estimation of the Size of Street Children and their Projection for Major Urban Areas of Bangladesh 2005’ commissioned to BIDS by ARISE, the present number of Street Children in six divisional cities has been estimated as 3,89,892 with a major concentration in Dhaka city 63.91% and the lowest concentration being 2.50% of the total in Barisal. The problem is thought to be escalating due to the rise in urban migration and rural poverty. Despite the hazardous living conditions in the cities, out-migrants from rural areas are pouring into urban centers due to rural poverty, unemployment, landlessness, river erosion, family conflict, worse law and order situation, disintegration of traditional family and community structures that have ushered changes in the socio-economic scenario. As such the number of street children is likely to increase. The above BIDS study predicts the number street children shall rise to 1,144,754 in 2014 and 1,615,330 in 2024.
There is no mention of street children in the Government’s substantive policy document, the National Child Policy. The absence of legal recognition hampers mainstreaming of this segment to society and in extending adequate protection and promotion of their human rights and dignity.

The two components of the Protection of Children at Risk (PCAR) Project

1. ARISE – Street Children Sub-Project

As part of realization of Government of Bangladesh’s commitment to the ratification of the UNCRC, a programmed entitled ‘Appropriate Resources for Improving Street Children’s Environment’ (ARISE) has been initiated for implementation by the Department of Social Services (DSS) under the Ministry of Social Welfare (MSW), with financial support from UNDP. Initiated in 1998 the project was planned for 3 years and started functioning from April 1999 in six divisional cities. The project was supposed to be ended in March 2002. In the meantime duration of the project was extended twice up to June 2005 and again for another six months i.e. up to December 2005. Meanwhile, final evaluation of the project was conducted in 2004 and they recommended for implementation of the second phase for another five-ten years. But the second phase was supposed to commence on July 2005, which could not take place on time, and the project was extended up to March 2007.

The major objective of the ARISE project was to promote and protect the rights of the street children and to support the development programmes targeted to street children by strengthening their survival skills and providing opportunities for a productive future through the government, NGO and community-based interventions. So far the project has been able to bring tangible changes in the lives of the street children in some areas but institutionalization of the efforts and sustainability of the impact need some more time and that is why the proposal for starting a new phase has been made accommodating the recommendations of the final evaluation focusing on the need of reintegration. Further this project will also address needs of children without parental care.

2. Children Without Parental Care:

This sub-project is a new initiative starting from April 1, 2007. It aims at developing institutional capacity for protecting children in families and community and considers institutionalization of children as the last resort where the minimum care standard for children will have to be ensured. During the 21-month period the project will develop knowledge on the situation of children in the orphanages, vagrant homes and correctional centres and pilot initiatives for deinstitutionalization suitable for Bangladesh country context. Based on the learning from this period future initiative in this area will be taken.
