The People's Republic of Bangladesh is a sovereign state located in South Asia. It is bordered by India on all sides except for a small border with Burma (Myanmar) to the far southeast and by the Bay of Bengal to the south.

The name Bangladesh means "Country of Bengal" in the official Bengali language.

Remnants of civilization in the greater Bengal region date back four thousand years, when the region was settled by Dravidian, Tibeto-Burman, and Austro-Asiatic peoples.

Islam was introduced to Bengal in the 12th century by Arab Muslim merchants; Sufi missionaries and subsequent Muslim conquests helped spread Islam throughout the region. Bakhtiar Khilji, a Turkic general, defeated Lakshman Sen of the Sena dynasty and conquered large parts of Bengal in the year 1204

Somapura Mahavihara in Paharpur, Bangladesh, is the greatest Buddhist Vihara in the Indian Subcontinent, built by Dharmapala of Bengal.

European traders arrived late in the 15th century, and their influence grew until the British East India Company gained control of Bengal following the Battle of Plassey in 1757

When India was partitioned in 1947, Bengal was partitioned along religious lines, with the western part going to India and the eastern part (Muslims majority) joining Pakistan as a province called East Bengal (later renamed East Pakistan), with its capital at Dhaka.

The Bangladesh Liberation War lasted for nine months. The Bangladesh Forces formed within 11 sectors led by General M.A.G. Osmani consisting of Bengali Regulars, and Mukti Bahini conducted a massive guerilla war against the Pakistan. The Mitro Bahini achieved a decisive victory over Pakistan on 16 December 1971,taking over 90,000 prisoners of war.

At April 2010, USA - based ratings agency Standard & Poor's (S&P) awarded Bangladesh a BB- for a long term in credit rating which is below India and well over Pakistan and Sri Lanka in South Asia.

However, Bangladesh gradually decreased its dependency on foreign grant and loan from 85% (In 1988)to 2% (In 2010) for its annual development budget. Its per capita income in 2010 was US$641 compared to the world average of $8,985. But, if purchasing power parity (PPP) is taken into account, Bangladesh's economy is the 44th largest in the world at US$257 billion according to the IMF.

FAOSTAT, Bangladesh is one of world's largest producers of: Rice (4th), Potato (11th), Mango (9th), Pineapple (16th), Fruit, Tropical (5th), Onion (16th), Banana (17th), Jute (2nd), Tea (11th).

In December 2005, four years after its report on the emerging "BRIC" economies (Brazil, Russia, India, and China), Goldman Sachs named Bangladesh one of the "Next Eleven", along with Egypt, Indonesia, Vietnam and seven other countries.

Bangladesh has been ranked as the 4th largest clothing exporter by the WTO (The World Trade Organization)

The country has achieved an average annual growth rate of 5% since 1990, according to the World Bank

The country is listed among the Global Growth Generator countries. It is a founding member of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, the D-8 and BIMSTEC, and a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the Organization of the Islamic Conference and the Non-Aligned Movement.

One significant contributor to the development of the economy has been the widespread propagation of microcredit by Muhammad Yunus (awarded the Nobel peace prize in 2006) through the Grameen Bank.

The highest point in Bangladesh is in Mowdok range at 1,052 m (3,451 ft) in the Chittagong Hill Tracts to the southeast of the country. Cox's Bazar, south of the city of Chittagong, has a beach that stretches uninterrupted over 120 kilometers.

Straddling the Tropic of Cancer, Bangladeshi climate is tropical with a mild winter from October to March, a hot, humid summer from March to June. A warm and humid monsoon season lasts from June to October and supplies most of the country's rainfall. Natural calamities, such as floods, tropical cyclones, tornadoes, and tidal bores occur almost every year, combined with the effects of deforestation, soil degradation and erosion.

Bangladesh is now widely recognized to be one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change. Natural hazards that come from increased rainfall, rising sea levels, and tropical cyclones are expected to increase as climate change, each seriously affecting agriculture, water & food security, human health and shelter.It is believed that in the coming decades the rising sea level alone will create more than 20 million climate refugees

Life expectancy is 63 years for both males and females. The majority of Bangladeshis are ethnic Bengalis, comprising 98% of the

population. Nearly all Bangladeshis speak Bangla as their mother tongue and it is the official language.

Health and education levels remain relatively low, although they have improved recently as poverty (31% at 2010) levels have decreased.

The literacy rate in Bangladesh rose to 53.5% in 2007. The main religion practiced in Bangladesh is Islam (89.7%), but a significant

percentage of the population adheres to Hinduism (9.2%). The Baul tradition is a distinctive element of Bengali folk music. Numerous

other musical traditions exist including Gombhira, Bhatiali and Bhawaiya, varying from one region to the next. Folk music is often accompanied by the ektara, dotara, dhol, flute and tabla. Similarly, Bangladeshi dance forms draw from folk traditions, especially those of the tribal groups.

The earliest literary text in Bengali is the 8th century Charyapada. Bengali literature reached its full expression in the 19th century, with its greatest icons being poets Rabindranath Tagore, Michael Madhusudan Dutt and Kazi Nazrul Islam. Bangladesh also has a long tradition in folk literature, for example Maimansingha Gitika, Thakurmar Jhuli and stories related to Gopal Bhar, Birbal and Molla Nasiruddin.

Key Challenges in Family Planning Programs

Over Population of 146.6 Million (BBS-2009)

Regional difference of TFR (Sylhet-3.7, Rajshahi-2.4)

Unmet need for contraception (17.6% BDHS 2007)

Male Participation in Contraception is very low (5.2 in 2007)

Maternal Mortality is still high (1.94/1000 Live birth, BMMS-2010)

Rapid & Unplanned Urbanization ( 67 Million in 2015)

Early marriage and early child bearing

Emerging threat of HIV/AIDS

32

Reaching replacement level of fertility Adolescent fertility Population momentum

◦ Early marriage◦ Number of women in reproductive age◦ Young age group

Urban population and ageing population Food security Climate change

33

Increasing number of eligible couples Number of eligible couples per FWA (1200-

1500 & in some places 2000) Inadequate activities in the urban areas (City

Corporation and Pauroshovas). Inadequate activities in the remote and hard

to reach and hilly areas Poor monitoring and supervision (field level)

34

Vacant Posts Conflict between Cadre vs. non-cadre Carrier Planning of Doctors/Officers Insufficient Training for FWAs & other

service providers

35

Infrastructure & Maintenance Procurement (IDA Fund)- Time Consuming Inadequate transport Contraceptive security ( procurement,

Storage, Distribution) Lack of adequate research, evaluation &

monitoring.

36

Special emphasis on long-acting & permanent FP Addressing discontinuation rates of temporary methods Increased male participation in FP Program Six months “midwifery program” for FWV Up-gradation of 1500 union UH&FWCs for PLTM and normal

delivery Providing services as per client segmentation Identifying need of services as per geographic areas Life cycle approach to provide services Active participation of NGOs and private sector Involvement of elected representatives Increased involvement of print and electronic media Decentralization of population policy activities Orientation of Marriage registrars, elected representatives and

other stake holders EmOC services through all MCWCs. Special activities in Sylhet & Chittagong division along with

other hard-to reach areas

37

Developing a short, mid & long term strategic and evidence based programming with focus on the following:

Commitment from the policy maker and political leaders BCC, IPC & the use of local/folk media Marketing the benefit of family planning Functional coordination Policy and media advocacy Infrastructure development Filling vacant posts Logistics and commodity security Increasing male involvement Community participation and involvement of people’s

representatives and electronic & print media Ensure quality service Research, evaluation & monitoring
