Foreword
The Government of Bangladesh is committed to ensure food and nutrition security for its people,
especially the most vulnerable groups of mothers and young children- through a comprehensive
approach to food availability, access and utilisation for nutrition. To this effect, the Government
adopted a comprehensive National Food Policy (NFP, 2006), its Plan of Action (PoA, 2008-2015) and
investments specified in a multi-billion dollar Country Investment Plan for Agriculture, Food Security
and Nutrition (CIP, 2011-2015) that is consistent with the Sixth Five Year Plan, Vision 2021 and the
Millennium Development Goals. Both NFP PoA and CIP provide a result framework and a prioritized
investment plan for coordinated interventions up to 2015.
This report is the fifth in the annual series that jointly monitors progress towards the NFP targets.
The preparation of the report was led and facilitated by the Food Planning and Monitoring Unit
(FPMU) of the Ministry of Food, in collaboration with 17 partner ministries and departments, with
technical assistance from FAO and financial support from USAID and EU. The report drew on 23
inter-ministerial meetings. Drafts were reviewed by the Food Policy Working Group and in a
stakeholder consultation composed of the Government, development partners, private sector and
civil society. The National Committee thereafter discussed and endorsed the report.
The Monitoring Report 2015 shows that food and nutrition security for national well-being is a top
priority at the highest level of the Government and amongst development partners. With the a
available resources for interventions having grown substantially, the challenge is to ensure effective
delivery of programmes in line with the increased resources. The CIP budget is now at 12.7 billion
USD, of which 8.8 billion USD is already financed – as a result of the mobilization of additional 5.4
billion USD since June 2011, of which approximately 918 million USD is mobilized in 2013/14. The
Government financed 5.6 billion USD (64%) and development partners financed 3.2 billion USD
(36%).
Bangladesh has made remarkable progress in reducing child undernutrition since the mid 1990s, but
the same has not adequately translated in the reduction of population undernourishment.
Underweight declined from 41 percent in 2007 to 32.6 percent in 2014. Similarly, chronic
malnutrition (stunting) shows substantial decline by a third from 54.6 percent in 1997 to 36.1
percent in 2014. The improvement recorded in underweight and stunting is in line with the MDG
and national targets, but remains at a level of public health concern. The recent decline in exclusive
breastfeeding among children less than 6 months needs to be addressed through concerted
strategies to achieve sustainable gains. Households in Bangladesh are gradually changing their diets
with a larger share of calories coming from vegetables, fruits and animal-products; complementary
feeding is also showing slight improvement.
The report identifies encouraging developments in food production diversification in a context of
steady growth in rice production and remarkable progress in aquaculture. The report outlines the
need for mainstreaming nutrition beyond the health sector, points to sustained increase in
purchasing power, decline in poverty, especially in urban areas, and efforts to expand public food
grain storage capacity. Besides, there is need for implementation of the national Social Protection
Strategy with attention to its impact on food security and nutrition. The Bangladesh Food Safety
Authority needs to coordinate overall food safety management and guide the implementation of the
Food Safety Act 2013. Commitments to the Rome Declaration and Framework for Action of the
Second International Conference on Nutrition need to be followed up, leveraging food systems for
sustainable diets and nutrition. On-going efforts to scale up national nutrition services should be
further sustained.
I expect this report to stimulate strategic and informed decision making and enhance delivery on
food and nutrition security outcomes in Bangladesh.

Executive summary
The National Food Policy (NFP) provides strategic guidance for achieving food and nutrition
security. The NFP Plan of Action (PoA) translates this into 26 Areas of Intervention (AoI) for
the period 2008 to 2015. The Bangladesh Country Investment Plan: A Road Map towards
Investment in Agriculture, Food Security and Nutrition (CIP) identifies 12 investment
programmes to ensure implementation of the PoA. Implementation mechanisms and
responsibilities across Government ministries are specified in the NFP PoA Section I.4 and
Part II, respectively.
Progress towards NFP goals
The overarching goal of the National Food Policy is “to ensure dependable food security for
all people of the country at all times”. Undernourishment, child underweight and child
stunting indicators measure progress towards the NFP goal. These three nutrition relevant
indicators are complemented with the Sixth Five Year Plan (SFYP) related indicators and are
consistent with other national development targets such as MDGs. The monitoring of
progress towards NFP goals serves as a useful reference for the preparation of the currently
ongoing Seventh Five Year Plan (7FYP).
While the MDG-1 target for reducing undernourishment was achieved in early 2000s, the
declines thereafter have been uneven and started to rise slightly in the last 3-4 years. The
indicator slightly worsened for the fourth consecutive year reaching 16.7% in 2013/14 from
16.3% in 2012/13, showing a deterioration of undernourishment, but which is notably lower
than the MDG target, 17%.
The MDG-1 child underweight goal – is to halve rates of child underweight from 66% in 1990
to 33% by 2015. Child underweight and stunting declined both since the 2007/08 baselines:
as of 2013/14, the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) estimates child
underweight at 32.6% and child stunting at 36.1%. An average reduction in underweight of
around 1.7 percentage points per year since 2007/08 allowed to reach sustained
improvements and to reach the 2015 targets. As regards child stunting which reflects
chronic malnutrition, a sustained decline has been noted from 43.0% in 2004 to 36.1% in
2014.
Of the four Food Security indicators included in the Results Framework of the SFYP,
agricultural GDP growth bounced from 2.17% in 2012/13 to 4.3% in 2013/14, reaching the
target. Notably, Government spending on social protection as a share of GDP slightly
increased up to 2.26% in 2013/14, though remaining below the 2015 target of 3%. Available
data on poverty show a decline from 40% in 2005 to 32% in 2010 (8 percentage points), a
level closer to the MDG target (29%). National rice wage - a measure of purchasing power of
the wage earners - accelerated from 5.8% to 9.7% during the period 2012/13-2013/14,
which was largely above the target. This implies that access to staple food improved
remarkably during the period.
Progress towards NFP outcomes
Availability: Agricultural GDP (excluding forestry) growth increased by 2.1 percentage point
to reach 4.3% in 2013/14, mainly due to increased rice, animal and fish production. Rice
import dependency, measured as an average for the period 2011/12-2013/14, has
x
consequently dropped to 1% from 2.3% registered in 2012/13. Instability of rice production
remained unchanged in 2013/14 from its lowest level of 2.9% registered in 2012/13, mainly
due to the stability in rice production throughout all seasons. In 2013/14, price of rice was
more stable than in the previous year although remained on an increasing trend, while
wheat price has been decreasing and remained more volatile over the same period.
Although the agricultural trade deficit rose to 6.9 billion USD in 2011, fishery exports
improved.
Recommendations for further actions in this area include the need to:
� Implement the National Agricultural Policy 2013;
� Promote intensification of rice production;
� Sustain expansion of mechanization;
� Provide more incentives for agro-processing industry;
� Preserve forest resources for environmental protection;
� Strengthen adaptation to climate change impacts.
Access: Change in the daily rice wage of all wage earners accelerated in 2013/14 to 9.7%
from 5.8% in 2012/13 continuing on its increasing trend. In 2013/14, agricultural daily wage
corresponded to 8.9 kg of rice/day and followed a volatile decreasing trend since June 2012.
Income poverty declined faster during 2000-2010 period compared to the previous decade.
The Planning Commission projections place headcount poverty rate down by 6.5 percentage
points, to 25% in 2015 when compared to 2010, assuming constant inequality. The intake of
calories lower than 2,122 kcal/cap/day reduced from 44% in 2000 to 38% in 2010. Food
inflation remained above general inflation between June 2012 and June 2013. In May 2014,
food inflation registered 9% compared to 5.6% for non-food inflation.
Recommendations for further actions in this area include the need to:
� Strengthen the right to food;
� Promote rural non-farm employment;
� Improve income distribution;
� Strengthen emergency food distribution system in alignment with NSPS;
� Improve food access in disadvantaged areas;
� [Stabilize food prices.
Utilisation: The share of dietary energy supply and intake from cereals has declined very
slowly in recent years, following a long term trend continuing since the 1990s, and remained
above the recommended targets of 60%. Dietary diversity for women improved between
2011 and 2013 especially in urban areas; however, Khulna, Rajshahi and Rangpur divisions
lag behind. Chronic energy deficiency (CED, BMI<18.5) among women declined to 17% in
2013/14, from 23% in 2011/12. On the contrary, the proportion of overweight (BMI>23)
increased to 39% in 2013/14 from 30% in 2011/12. The proportion of children 6 to 23
months fed a minimum acceptable diet improved to 23% in 2014 compared to 21% in 2011.
Iodized salt consumption reduced from 82% in 2011 to 80% in 2013. Prevention and control
of iron deficiency anaemia improved in recent years; in 2011, 33% of preschool children
were affected by anaemia.
Recommendations for further actions in this area include the need to:
� Accelerate nutrition-sensitive and nutrition-specific actions;
� Improve nutrition through agriculture and food systems;
xi
� Promote dietary diversity and nutrition;
� Expedite implementation of NNS activities including complementary feeding;
� Accelerate implementation of prevention strategies for non-communicable diseases
(NCDs);
� Strengthen food safety and quality activities under BFSA;
� Ensure full coverage of access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene;
� Enhance fortification and bio-fortification initiatives;
� Conduct new national nutrition survey.
Output monitoring: CIP programmes and associated NFP PoA Areas of Intervention
Research and extension: Release of new varieties increased in 2013/14, especially for rice,
vegetables and oilseeds. The number of farmers trained on sustainable agricultural practices
increased for two consecutive years. In 2013/14, the share of rice area in total cropped area
further declined to 74.8% from 76% in the previous year, falling stably for the third
consecutive year below the level recorded in 2008/09. Productivity increased while area
planted continued its slow decline. In 2013/14, rice production increased by 1.6%; while it
had previously slightly declined by 0.2% in 2012/13, for the first time since 2005/06.
Production of maize, vegetables, potato and wheat improved. In particular, maize
production boosted (41%) due to favourable market conditions, in particular due to robust
sectoral feedstock demand from poultry, livestock and fishery sectors. Signs of crop
diversification continued in 2013/14.
Recommendations for further actions in this area include the need to:
� Sustain nutrition oriented agricultural research;
� Improve the Agricultural Research Management Information System;
� Facilitate ‘vertical’ integration between agricultural research, universities, and
extension service providers;
� Establish ‘horizontal’ integration between extension service providers to support
demand-led technology transfers;
� Mainstream the use of modern Information and Communication Technology (ICT);
� Establish a database of extension projects.
Water management and irrigation: The crop area under irrigation continued expanding
throughout the reference period, up to 48% in 2013/14, whilst the contribution of surface
water remained stable at 21%. Groundwater table in northern districts deepened to eight
meters in 2014 from six meters in 2013. The share of irrigation in boro production cost
reduced.
Recommendations for further actions in this area include the need to:
� Ensure sustainable use of groundwater;
� Improve irrigation efficiency and water productivity;
� Enhance availability and use of surface water;
� Enrich and update a data bank on water resources;
� Use arsenic free groundwater for irrigation and domestic purposes;
� Develop effective flood control and river erosion measures;
� Reduce salinity in coastal areas.
Inputs and soil fertility: Supply of improved seed as a percentage of agronomic requirements
reduced in 2013/14 over 2012/13 for all commodities, except vegetables. Seed quality
xii
remains an issue. Fertilizer prices remained unchanged, while urea price was reduced from
20 to 16 taka/Kg over the period 2012/13 - 2013/14.
Recommendations for further actions in this area include the need to:
� Produce more quality seed and improve distribution;
� Reduce nitrogen loss through increased use of USG and reap higher yield;
� Promote IPM and use of quality agrochemicals.
Fisheries and aquaculture: The share of fisheries value added in agricultural GDP (excluding
forest) increased for the third consecutive year, growing by 0.5 percentage points in
2013/14, and reaching over a fourth of total agricultural value added. This represents an
encouraging sign of diversification to improve diets and impact nutrition. Fish production
grew at 4.3% in 2013/14. Shrimp production accelerated in 2013/14, registering an increase
of 3.4% over 2012/13. Fingerling production showed some improvements (0.1%) after a
sharp decline (10%), over the same period. While the share of fisheries in total exports
marginally improved to 2.3% in 2013/14 from 2% in 2012/13, its share in total export halved
from 4% in 2007/08 to 2% in 2012/13.
Recommendations for further actions in this area include the need to:
� Enhance pond productivity;
� Reduce yield gap;
� Improve fishing habitat for hilsha and other species;
� Develop low cost feed and feed industry;
� Explore export potential of Pangas and Tilapia;
� Develop crab seed hatchery.
Livestock development: Livestock sectoral growth rate registered a 3%, while its share in
agricultural GDP slightly reduced to 12.1% in 2013/14 from 12.3% in 2012/13. Milk, meat
and egg production increased by 36%, 40% and 34% respectively in 2013/14. Artificial
insemination decelerated by 4.5 percentage points in 2012/13 to 3% in 2013/14. Poultry
deaths became insignificant.
Recommendations for further actions in this area include the need to:
� Boost productivity through crossbreeding and selection;
� Promote dairy processing technologies;
� Sustain school milk programmes for better nutrition while supporting dairy farmers;
� Improve quantity and quality of feed and fodder;
� Sustain value addition in producing hides, skin, horn and bone;
� Support biogas production.
Access to markets and value addition: The differences between farm gate and retail prices
increased between 2012/13 and 2013/14, for all products under consideration (coarse rice,
onions, potatoes, and brinjals), excluding lentil. The price mark-up for fertilizers remained
stable for TSP, MP, and Urea respectively at 10%, 15%, and 14%. Wage differential between
males and females in agriculture declined to 30% in 2013/14 from 40% registered for the
preceding two years. The provisional real GDP growth rate of small scale manufacturing
decelerated to 7% in 2013/14 from 9% in 2012/13. The number of students enrolled in TVET
institutions marginally decreased in 2013/14, after a steady increase over the previous four
years.
xiii
Recommendations for further actions in this area include the need to:
� Improve physical access to markets;
� Reduce wastage and quality loss of food products;
� Further reduce wage difference between men and women;
� Strengthen support to agro-processing;
� Promote employment generation through micro-enterprise development;
� Enhance skill development, particularly for women and disabled;
� Improve information system through use of IT services.
Implementation and monitoring of NFP and CIP: During 2013/14, an additional 918 million
USD were mobilized in projects previously in pipeline or newly identified. This figure
compares to 969 million USD for 2012/13, with a two years slowdown of funds mobilization
by 952 million USD since 2011/12. The coming end of the CIP explains this decreasing trend:
financial allocations to new projects largely fall beyond June 2015 and are therefore not
accounted under the CIP financing. Twenty-six projects (new or previously in pipeline) were
newly implemented in 2013/14, valued at 435 million USD, out of a total additional
financing of 940 million USD. From 1st
July 2011 to 30th
June 2014, a total of 4,760 million
USD was disbursed, representing 54% of total financed budget of 8,789 million USD (for
both ongoing and completed projects) for CIP 2015.
Recommendations for further actions in this area include the need to:
� Formulate the National Food and Nutrition Security Policy (NFNSP), Plan of Action,
and the new Country Investment Plan;
� Mainstream capacity development components in the new NFNSP, PoA, and the new
CIP;
� Expedite provision of additional FPMU staff ;
� Strengthen implementation capacity and accelerate operations.
Public food management: Effective foodgrain storage capacity expanded by 6% to reach 1.8
million tons during the period 2012/13 - 2013/14. This is in line with the trend of increased
capacity since 2007/08 food price crisis. The Government’s objective is to cope with both
market price volatility and natural disasters which are expected to occur more frequently as
a result of climate change. Utilization of storage capacity fluctuated on an increasing trend
from 38% in 2007/08 to 60% in 2013/14. The actual boro procurement increased by 0.25
million MT to 1.06 million MT in 2013/14. In 2014 boro procurement season, and for a
second consecutive year, the average wholesale price of coarse rice continued to remain
above the average cost of production.
Recommendations for further actions in this area include the need to:
� Strengthen capacities to manage PFDS through training and technological adoptions;
� Boost public procurement system’s effectiveness through applied research;
� Plan PFDS operations consistently with NSPS and emergency response needs.
Effective safety nets: The share of social safety net (SSN) spending in GDP declined in
2013/14 to 1.61% from 1.68% in 2012/13. However, the share of social empowerment
spending in GDP increased to 0.65% over the same period. The budgeted coverage of
Vulnerable Group Feeding (VGF) decreased to 65 lakh persons in 2013/14 from 85 lakh
persons in 2012/13, following steadily decreasing trend from 366.7 lakh persons in 2009/10.
xiv
However, the quantity of food distributed under VGF and Gratuitous Relief (GR) increased
by 58%, reaching 0.48 MMT in 2013/14 from 0.3 MMT in 2012/13, probably due to the
necessity of quicker stock rotation in a year of higher procurement. In 2013/14, the
budgeted coverage of EGPP increased to 4.9 million from 4.2 million person months from
2012/13, and for the first time registered a level higher than 2009/10.
Recommendations for further actions in this area include the need to:
� Prioritize and target the implement of National Social Protection Strategy;
� Integrate and expand market-driven initiatives and community participation in SSN
programmes;
� Establish a single registry management information system (MIS);
� Adapt cash and food transfers coherently with the food stock management strategy;
� Explore the preparation of a roadmap for fortified rice.
Community-based nutrition: BDHS estimates showed a marked increase in the prevalence of
exclusive breastfeeding from 43% in 1993 to 64% in 2011, with a slight fall to 59.7% in 2013,
with present rates showing a further drop to 55.3%. Moreover, complementary feeding has
slightly improved since 2011 over the previous year. In 2013/14, poor households raising
home gardening and backyard poultry has continued increasing for two consecutive years to
46% from 45% in 2012/13, and 42% in 2011/12. Protein and fat supply from animal foods is
lower than recommendations. Disaggregated adult consumption units show that in age
group 18-29.9 years males are getting 2594 Kcal while females of the same age group get
about 2049 Kcal pointing to gender differences in energy intake. Global acute malnutrition
reduced from 16% in 2011 to 14.3% in 2014, and severe acute malnutrition from 4% to
3.1%. Women having at least 4 antenatal care visits increased to 31.2%. A draft national
micronutrient strategy, led by IPHN, MoHFW awaits approval. National legislation on food
fortification is being established. The National Vitamin A Plus campaign, done twice a year,
covers 97% of under-five children; and iron folate supplementation is provided through the
family planning facilities.
Recommendations for further actions in this area include the need to:
� Scale-up nutrition sensitive strategies in fisheries, livestock and women sectors;
� Improve facility and community based support to caregivers;
� Strengthen food fortification initiatives;
� Increase commitment in line with global nutrition initiatives;
� Follow-up ICN2 declaration and framework for action.
Data for improved nutrition: Behaviour change communication (BCC) aim at empowering
communities towards health and nutrition seeking behaviour. The number of BCC activities
shows an increasing trend since 2009/10 at 635 to 800 in 2013/14. A reference for food and
dietary planning using the desirable dietary pattern (DDP) has been established by BIRDEM.
The DDP has proposed energy requirement for a Bangladeshi at 2430 kcal/day. A simplified
food composition database (FCDB) and FCT documentation have been published for public
use. The national and regional food compositional activities are benefited from this
computerized FCDB and printed FCT tables.
Recommendations for further actions in this area include the need to:
� Improve harmonization between food security and nutrition information systems;
� Train users of FCT and dietary guidelines;
xv
� Improve management capacity and coordination for nutrition.
Food safety and quality: Standardization of food items has registered limited progress,
remaining at 58 in 2011/12 and 2012/13 but increased to 59 in 2013/14. The prevalence of
diarrhoea declined from 10% in 2007 to 5% in 2011, and to 5.7% in 2014, although according
to another national source it stayed relatively constant at 12%. Slight improvement in safe
water supply was registered. The coverage of safe water supply for domestic use increased
from 75% in 2002 to 97% in 2007/08, and increased slightly to 98% in 2009/10, and
remained unchanged at 98% in 2011/12 and 98% in 2012/13. However, it increased to 99%
in 2013/14.
Recommendations for further actions in this area include the need to:
� Enhance awareness on food safety practices;
� Enhance coordination on food safety management;
� Formulate food safety regulations;
� Recruit and strengthen capacity of the food safety inspectors;
� Develop more food standards and ensure compliance;
� Designate food safety laboratories for specific analysis of foods;
� Reduce diarrhoeal prevalence and improve safe water supply;
� Strengthen healthy street food vending;
� Improve capacity building in value chains.
The CIP 2015: financial input monitoring
CIP 2015 increased to 12.7 billion USD, of which 8.8 billion USD is already financed. Financial
gap reduced to 3.9 billion USD. GoB invested 1.78 USD for each dollar spent by DPs. CIP
delivery improved up to 4.8 billion USD since 2010/11, the first year of CIP implementation,
and represents 54% of total financed budget. This figure compares with 5.4 billion USD of
additional financing. Looking at component-specific data, Access, Availability and Utilization
for Nutrition delivered respectively 59%, 51% and 32% of their financed budget. Looking at
the post-CIP period (after June 2015), 1.6 Billion is the budget already financed, distributed
as follows among components: Availability (49%), Access (45%), and Utilization (6%).
The monitoring exercise
In preparing the CIP Monitoring Report 2015, a results-oriented monitoring approach was
adopted, coherent with existing national planning processes, namely the national MDGs and
the SFYP results framework. A four-level results chain was defined whereby NFP goals are
articulated into outcomes/impacts that are expected to result from outputs, which are in
turn generated from inputs. Monitoring indicators have been chosen at each level, within
the data available, against SMART criteria: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and
Time-bound. These provide targets, baselines and proxy indicators for performance.
Institutional framework for monitoring
Bangladesh’s institutional structure on food security and nutrition provides coordination at
different levels, including monitoring. The FPMC provides strategic orientation and
establishes a high-level commitment to inter-sectoral collaboration. The NC is tasked with
overseeing CIP implementation and monitoring processes. The FPWG is the mechanism for
coordinating collaboration at the technical and operational level through the four TTs that
xvi
execute the monitoring process. In addition to this, GoB agencies and DPs involved in
programmes pertaining to the CIP provide data for CIP financial monitoring.
Lessons learned from monitoring
There has been greater ownership displayed by FPMU and TTs throughout the monitoring
period 2014/15. This is resulting in a sustainable process that is reflected in the production
of the report. The active engagement and increased participation by FPMU and TTs in the
recent years paved the way for improved validation and triangulation of the data and results
with that of the Annual Development Programme (ADP) and the Implementation Report
from IMED of the Planning Commission.
Gender related analysis
There is a strong gender dimension to food insecurity and malnutrition in Bangladesh.
Empowerment gaps for women in rural Bangladesh are found to be greatest in terms of
leadership in the community and control of and access to resources. The NFP PoA and CIP
monitoring provides evidence on linkages between women, food security and nutrition,
pointing to positive effects of the different dimensions of female empowerment on food
and nutrition security outcomes.
Synergy with Scaling up Nutrition (SUN) Initiative
The annual monitoring of the NFP PoA and CIP presents tracking of financial resources for
nutrition specific and nutrition sensitive investments through the joint process engaging 16
partner ministries, departments and agencies. The monitoring process demonstrates
accountability for tracking progress in achieving national food security and nutrition targets.
Analysis on nutrition- relevant budget allocations is carried out by the thematic teams from
the participating ministries who are involved in this annual exercise. Monitoring is carried
out to the fullest extent possible through country assessments as well as data and
information available from national accountability mechanisms, and as such informs the
SUN Initiative. As 2015 is the culminating year for the CIP, the report provides estimates of
priority programmes and incremental changes in investments overall for the period 2010-
2015 and comparisons of the delivery on nutrition outcomes through both nutrition specific
and sensitive programmes.

1. Introduction
The policy framework
The National Food Policy (NFP) approved in August 2006 embeds three core objectives: NFP
Objective 1: Adequate and stable supply of safe and nutritious food; NFP Objective 2:
Increased purchasing power and access to food of the people; NFP Objective 3: Adequate
nutrition for all individuals, especially women and children.
The overall goal of the NFP is to ensure dependable food security for all people at all times.
To this end, it provides a strategic orientation to enhance the delivery on nutrition
outcomes. The NFP Plan of Action (PoA) translates the provisions of the NFP into 26
strategic Areas of Intervention (AoI) to be implemented over the period 2008-2015. The PoA
identifies responsible actors (governmental and non-governmental) and suggests policy
targets and indicators for monitoring progress. The document also provides guidelines
regarding inter-ministerial coordination, and sectoral planning and budgeting, with a view to
promoting implementation effectiveness. It also outlines a strategy for monitoring progress.
The Bangladesh Country Investment Plan (CIP) is a road map toward investment in
Agriculture, Food Security and Nutrition. The CIP is a five-year comprehensive investment
plan from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2015 to ensure implementation of the PoA, and is
organised into 12 programmes with 40 sub-programmes. It is a country-led planning, fund
mobilization and alignment tool. It supports increased, effective public investment to
increase and diversify food availability in a sustainable manner and improve access to food
and nutrition security. The CIP only covers public investments under the Annual
Development Plan of the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) but it is designed in such a way
to leverage investment by private sector and smallholders.
The CIP was developed in 2010 and discussed in the Bangladesh Food Security Investment
Forum held in Dhaka on 26th
and 27th
May 2010 with the inauguration of the event by H.E.
the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. It was further developed through a wider consultation
process involving main stakeholders in Government, civil society and development partners
that resulted in the publication of a revised version in June 2011.
The CIP is a living document: while its structure of programmes and sub-programmes
remains unchanged, the number of projects and related financial resources are in
continuous evolution. The monitoring exercise contributes to stock taking of this evolution,
keeping the CIP budget updated, based on progress against its results’ framework and
emerging needs. The CIP is anchored in the policy, programmatic and financial framework of
Bangladesh as: (i) the investment arm of the National Food Policy (NFP, 2006) and its Plan of
Action (NFP PoA, 2008-2015); (ii) embedded in the Sixth Five Year Plan (SFYP, 2011-2015);
(iii) an advocacy and financial tool for increased resource allocation from the budget
(through the Government process) and development partners (DPs).
The CIP benefited from the commitment at the national level to food security and nutrition
expressed in the Scaling up Nutrition (SUN) Movement. It provides a strategic and coherent
set of 12 priority investment programmes, focusing on both specific and sensitive nutrition
interventions, to improve food and nutrition security in an integrated way, with a focus on
the most food insecure and malnourished populations. To provide comprehensive nutrition
- relevant budget allocations in line with SUN methodology, the CIP financial data are
2
complemented with Health Ministry data on nutrition specific programmes and nutrition
sensitive programmes for non-health sectors.
Introducing the monitoring exercise
Effective monitoring enables policy makers to assess progress towards the achievements of
NFP goals, objectives and sectoral targets, and to take corrective action. The GoB publishes
annually a Monitoring Report to track the implementation of the NFP PoA and the CIP. To
date, four monitoring reports have been published, in 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2014. The
series is an established feature on the policy landscape, enjoying wide interest across GoB,
DPs and other stakeholders. The 2015 issue monitors the implementation from 1 July 2013
to 30 June 2014, covering the baseline years of the CIP (2009/10) and PoA (2007/08). The
annual publication consolidates, analyses and produces a rich set of information across
major stakeholders of the NFP. With each annual issue, the publication is accumulating
knowledge that in 2015, the final year for both the NFP PoA and the CIP, will provide an
objective basis for reflection and new policy formulation. This is also the culmination of the
CIP period that has paved the way for future policy reform.
The monitoring framework of the CIP is built upon the NFP PoA monitoring framework. Joint
monitoring of the two documents required careful harmonisation to ensure adequate
coverage and consistency. The approach designed and successfully implemented for the
Monitoring Report 2012 has been successively refined in the following editions. A Roadmap
for Producing the 2015 CIP and NFP PoA Monitoring Report1 was elaborated over the
summer of 2014 by FAO Policy Assistance Team, in consultation with Thematic Teams (TTs)
and FPMU. The document was discussed with TTs and FPMU staff during a training
workshop on ‘Monitoring Food Security Framework in Bangladesh’ held in September 2014.
Based on assessment of previous monitoring rounds, the workshop refined the approach,
indicators and monitoring responsibilities, and enabled participants to be effectively
involved in independently carrying out the monitoring. This issue additionally focuses on
gender related analysis across the programmes.
About this report
This report presents data and analysis on the selected indicators of goals, outcomes and
outputs for 2013/14 (the monitored year) and previous years, including 2007/08 (the PoA
baseline) and 2009/10 (the CIP baseline). For inputs, the report presents data and analysis
on financial commitments for the period from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2015, updated as of 30
June 2014. Chapter 2 describes the approach taken to monitoring jointly the NFP PoA and
CIP. Chapter 3 assesses progress towards NFP Goals and NFP Objectives related to food
availability, food access and food utilisation for nutrition. Chapter 4, 5 and 6 monitor,
respectively, the twelve CIP programmes contributing to food availability, food access, and
food utilisation for nutrition. Each chapter assesses progress towards achievement
identified in the CIP and PoA result frameworks, reviews policy developments/programmes
underway, and identifies needs for further action. Chapter 7 monitors CIP financing for food
and nutrition security by the GoB and DPs. Chapter 8 provides an overall assessment of
progress and recommendations based on the analysis carried out. Annexes present the
monitoring indicators, the composition of TTs and the full CIP database updated up to June
2014.

Figure 1: CIP and PoA monitoring levels
2. Approach to monitoring
A results-oriented monitoring approach - coherent with the national planning process - has
been adopted on the basis of a four-level results chain. The NFP goal constitutes the highest
level, articulated into outcomes (second level) that are expected to result from outputs
(third level), which are in turn generated from inputs (fourth level). This is shown in Figure 1
and described below:
1. The overall goal is defined in the NFP, the highest monitoring level to which the PoA
and CIP contribute. Goal indicators are consistent with targets in the MDGs and SFYP
results framework. Goals are broad and therefore their achievement cannot be only
attributed to the PoA or the CIP, but their effective execution is expected to give a
positive contribution to their achievement.
2. Outcomes correspond to the three objectives of the NFP related to food availability,
food access and food utilisation. The complexity of the determinants of outcome
indicators means they are not easily influenced by any single implementing agency.
The CIP and the PoA share the same expected outcomes, and so a common set of
indicators is used to monitor them.
3. Outputs are medium-term development results. The CIP has outputs linked to its 12
programmes, with 40 sub-outputs under these. For the PoA, its 26 AoI define the
output level. Output indicators can be influenced to a large extent by implementing
agencies.
4. Inputs into the CIP are the financing and financial execution of projects by the
Government and development partners. Inputs into the PoA are multidimensional,
flagging over 300 action lines for programmes, policy decisions and implementing
actors. Both types of inputs are monitored in this report.
4
At each monitoring level indicators were chosen, to the extent possible given data
availability, against SMART criteria. These provide targets, baselines and proxy indicators for
performance. Minor adjustments have been made to the indicators used in earlier
monitoring reports, as specified in the text below and Table 1.
Goal monitoring
NFP PoA and the CIP share the same goal: “to ensure dependable food security for all people
of the country at all times”. The indicators to monitor progress were specified in the CIP as a
refinement and simplification of the one included in the CIP PoA. Moreover, in monitoring
progress toward the goal, evidence is given to relevant indicators included in the results
framework of the SFYP. One notable change done in MR 2013 that is maintained in MR 2014
and MR 2015 is to set the target for the monitored-year for the ‘Change in national wages
expressed in kg of coarse rice (3-year moving average)’ using the 3-year average of real per
capita GDP growth plus 0.5, rather than the practice in previous MRs of using the single year
real per capita GDP growth.
Outcome monitoring
The outcome level is common to both the PoA and the CIP, and so progress at this level is
evaluated through a common set of indicators. Efforts were made in the MR 2012 to
streamline the indicators used for monitoring the NFP PoA, and this substantially reduced
the total number of indicators. Of note, the indicator ‘Prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia
among adolescent girls’, a food utilisation indicator reported in MR 2012, has been dropped
from outcome tables since MR 2013, because it was impossible to maintain a consistent and
comparable time series - although the indicator is discussed in the text.
In order to gauge performance at the action level, highlights are given of recent/planned
programmes or policy developments considered most representative of progress towards
the achievement of the policy targets. Recommendations to accelerate progress are drawn
based on the analysis.
Output monitoring
As the CIP is a prioritized coverage of the AoIs in the NFP PoA, the joint monitoring of the
two documents used a focused set of indicators, and complemented them with discussions
in the text to ensure full monitoring of the broader remit of the PoA. The list of indicators
proposed for monitoring at the output level of the CIP and NFP PoA is the result of:
1. An effort to streamline the output level indicators selected for the NFP PoA
monitoring exercise in 2010;
2. An effort to reflect the thinking and consensus reached during the extensive
consultations with the many stakeholders of the CIP;
3. A methodical examination of all the AoIs of the NFP PoA to ensure that the proposed
indicators cover all of them.
SMART output indicators were defined for all CIP programmes that were consistent with the
output indicators used in the NFP PoA Monitoring Report 2010. The CIP programmes were
matched to the NFP PoA AoIs (except for CIP programme 7 which has no PoA counterpart),
and this led to the inclusion of a few more indicators for the few NFP PoA AoIs judged to be
inadequately monitored by the CIP indicators. Annex 1 presents the result of this exercise,
showing the CIP programmes matched to AoIs of the NFP PoA with the indicators used for
5
joint monitoring listed in the column ‘CIP/NFP PoA output proxy indicators’. Based on
experience in MR 2014, a change was made to the output indicators in this report (Table 1).

actual closing stock for year ‘X’ is a more straight
forward approach compared to considering
opening stock in year ‘X+1’.
CIP input monitoring
The input level monitoring focuses on the financing and financial execution of the CIP. This
involves:
- Updating the inventory of completed and ongoing projects relevant to the CIP -
including projects started before 1 July 2010 and completed after that date, and
projects started before 30 June 2015 and to be completed after that date – the two
dates being the start and end dates of the CIP, respectively;
- Updating the GoB’s needs for funding of projects that are included in the pipeline;
- Updating the DPs current commitments, both within and outside the CIP (i.e.
projects included or not included in the Annual Development Programme (ADP) of
the Government);
- Validation of CIP financial data with projects’ data from ADP book, yearly published
in April by IMED of the Ministry of Planning, tremendously improved data quality in
MR 2014. The validation process has been reinforced in MR 2015 (see section 7.2);
- Sustainability of the monitoring process is reflected in MR 2014 and in the current
MR 2015. The outreach of the publication expanded involving a wider audience
during recent years.
The CIP is financed as part of the Government’s ADP. It is presented in this report at project,
sub-programme and programme levels. The PoA includes a broader set of actions (for
example subsidies and safety nets) which are not covered in the CIP. Inputs for the
implementation of the PoA are provided as part of the annual budget of the Government,
including both development and revenue expenditure, of relevant Ministries. For this
reason this report also presents - under section 7.1 - a review of recent trends in food
security and nutrition spending in the national budget.
The baseline CIP and its annual revisions are published in Annex 3.1 of this report. The
monitoring exercise takes stock of the progress in implementation, and updates the CIP to
ensure that it evolves as a ‘living document’2.
The institutional setting for monitoring
Bangladesh has a composite institutional structure for coordinating, implementing and
monitoring the NFP and the CIP (Figure 2). This includes at its top the Cabinet level Food
Planning and Monitoring Committee (FPMC)3, chaired by the Food Minister and with
2 GoB (June 2011) Bangladesh Country Investment Plan – A Road Map towards Investment in Agriculture, Food Security and Nutrition p. 1.
3 The FPMC is recently reconstituted and chaired by the Minister of Food and includes the following: Ministers of the Ministry of Finance,
Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives, Ministry of Disaster
6
membership of various Ministers and Secretaries. This Committee provides strategic
orientation on food security issues and establishes a high-level commitment to inter-
sectoral collaboration. The National Committee (NC)4 also chaired by the Food Minister is
composed of the Secretaries of the various concerned divisions, Heads of
Universities/Research Institutions, DPs, private sector and other Non Governmental
Organizations (NGOs). Among other tasks, the NC oversees CIP implementation and
monitoring processes. The Food Policy Working Group (FPWG)5 is the mechanism for
coordinating collaboration at the
technical and operational level through
the four Thematic Teams (TTs)6 that
carry out the monitoring process of the
NFP PoA and the CIP consistently with
monitoring of progress towards MDG-1.
The FPMU provides support to these
institutions acting as the secretariat of
the various committees and providing
technical and operational support to the
FPWG and TTs. In addition to this, GoB
agencies involved in running
programmes pertaining to the CIP (over
30) and the DPs collaborating under the
Local Consultative Group for Agriculture,
Food Security and Rural Development
provide inputs towards the financial
monitoring section.
GoB’s annual monitoring of the NFP PoA and CIP provides a systematic tracking of financial
resources for agriculture, food security and nutrition which encompass nutrition sensitive
and nutrition specific investments being monitored through the CIP. The analysis of
nutrition- relevant budget allocations, the resource utilization and progress is carried out by
the thematic teams represented from 16 different ministries, departments and agencies
who have been collectively involved in this exercise.
A chapter on calculations and projections on financing under the CIP articulates the details.
As 2015 is the culminating year for the CIP, this report providing comparative and overall
estimates of incremental changes in investments and the delivery on nutrition outcomes
through both nutrition specific and sensitive programmes.

Lessons from the previous four monitoring reports in 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2014 inform the
approach established through the monitoring process. All reports adopted a similar results-
based monitoring approach, as described above. The main difference between the 2010 and
2012 monitoring reports was that the MR 2010 monitored only the NFP PoA because the CIP
had not been developed at that stage, while the MR 2012 was the first joint-monitoring of
the NFP PoA and the CIP. The MR 2013, MR 2014 and MR 2015 also jointly monitor the NFP
PoA and CIP.
Some lessons from previous experiences applied to this report include:
- Shortened duration of the MR production process to permit better use of its findings
in the budgetary and planning process for 2015/16;
- Better defined roles, responsibilities and participation of TTs’ members from partner
ministries and divisions – teamwork has proven instrumental to quality and transfer
of capacities;
- Incorporation of feedback from a wider range of stakeholders, including a
stakeholder consultation; and
- Rebalanced contents to make more systematic use of the financial database, thus
linking the CIP investments more closely to PoA programmes, and thereby tying the
assessment of inputs into the PoA to the assessment of results from the PoA.

3. Progress towards NFP goals and outcomes
3.1. NFP goals
The overarching goal of the National Food Policy is “to ensure dependable food security for
all people of the country at all times”. Food security encompasses many issues ranging from
food production, food access and distribution to food utilization, nutrition and health status
of individuals. Improving nutrition contributes directly to increased labour productivity, and
indirectly to improved life expectancy – by reducing disease and mortality - which in turn
fosters faster economic growth. Enhanced school performance, cognitive development, as
well as reduction in health care related cost are other positive outcomes. The achievement
of nutritional well being requires an overall improvement across the lifespan, with a focus
on the most vulnerable groups such as mothers and young children, particularly in the first
1,000 days of life.

8 The MDG-1 underweight target is based on the 2006 WHO standard. Before this was established, the NCHS standard was used in 1990 to
set a MDG underweight target at 33%. The NCHS standard results in higher levels of underweight and lower levels of stunting than the
WHO standard. 9 Prevalence estimates for stunting are based on the 2006WHO reference standards.

Progress towards the NFP goal is measured by three nutrition relevant indicators. The
selection of these indicators is consistent with other national development targets such as
the MDG and those of the Sixth Five Year Plan. The three indicators are prevalence of
undernourishment, child underweight and child stunting. Reducing child underweight by
half the level of 1990 is part of tracking MDG 1 until 2015, the end line of implementation of
the NFP PoA and CIP.
While the MDG 1 target for prevalence of undernourishment13
(PoU) was achieved in early
2000s, the declines thereafter have been uneven and started to rise slightly in the last 3-4
years. However, the indicator slightly worsened for the fourth consecutive year reaching
16.7% in 2013/14 from 16.3% in 2012/13 (Table 2), showing a deterioration of nutritional
status, but is notably lower than MDG target, 17%.
The PoU does not capture individual dietary energy requirement which depends on body
mass, level of physical activity and the degree of efficiency in the metabolism of food14
.
Moreover, quantity of food consumed needs to be estimated through food expenditures
from Household Income Expenditure Survey (HIES) and from food balance sheets which are
then converted into calorie equivalents and used in a parametric distribution of the
representative individual food consumption.
While PoU represents a useful proxy for normative energy requirement standards and
ensures a certain degree of cross-country comparability, it does not account for dietary
quality and intake of protein and essential micronutrients. This aspect is captured by the
nutritional status of an individual which is influenced by the quantity and quality of food
intake, physical health as well as the result of many inter-related factors. The two age-
specific indicators: child underweight (low weight-for-age) and stunting (low height-for-age)
are monitored to assess the trend in child undernutrition that also reflect the nutritional
status of a country. Child nutritional status (0 to 59 months) is impacted by dietary
diversity, micronutrient deficiency, poor sanitation and use of unsafe water. To this end,
these anthropometric indicators serve as a proxy for nutritional wellbeing of the entire
population. Further, stunting in the first 24 months of life is associated with reduced stature
in adulthood15
.
Child underweight and stunting declined both since the 2007/08 baselines: as of 2012/13
the Utilization of Essential Service Delivery (UESD) Survey estimates child underweight at
35.1% and child stunting at 38.7%, and a further decline in child underweight to 32.6%
percent and stunting to 36.1% in 2014, according to the 2014 Bangladesh Demographic and
Health Survey (BDHS). Underweight prevalence rates fell sharply between 1992 and 2004.
Notably, the levels of underweight markedly declined from 43 percent in 2004 to 33 percent
in 2014. The MDG-1 child underweight goal – is to halve rates of child underweight from
66% in 1990 to 33% by 2015 and this has been met. Likewise, the HPNSDP targets for 2016
are 38% for stunting and 33% for underweight. The 2014 BDHS data show that these targets
have been achieved (Table 2).
13
The PoU indicator is measured in terms of level of dietary consumption (1) that would be observed on a randomly selected individual in
the population against a threshold called minimum dietary energy requirement (MDER) (2) for the same population. The indicator does
not account for intra-household food allocation and is not meant to register short terms shocks or its source (such as price volatility and
trade shocks). 14

11
As regards child stunting which reflects chronic malnutrition, a sustained decline has been
noted from 54.6 percent in 1997 to 36.1 percent in 2014 (Table 3). Recent analyses16
show
strong associations between household assets, large gains in parental education and child
growth outcomes, notably stunting reduction. The two main drivers of change are rapid
asset accumulation and large gains in parental education. Other factors likely to have
influenced child nutrition include improved access to antenatal and neonatal health
services, large improvements in access to toilets, piped water, and demographic change in
the form of reduced fertility rates and longer birth intervals. Additionally pro poor multi
sectoral policies that have successfully addressed many –but not all – of the multiple
constraints on child growth could be responsible for the progress.

The linkage between undernourishment at population level and undernutrition at child level
is the continuum that encompasses adequacy of dietary energy supply and the
manifestation of growth across young children as measured by weight and height. While
Bangladesh has made progress in reducing child undernutrition substantially since the mid
1990s, the same has not translated in the reduction of population undernourishment.
To monitor progress towards NFP goals, four other indicators included in the Result
Framework of the Sixth Five Year Plan (SFYP) are also discussed (Table 2). Agricultural GDP
growth bounced from 2.17% in 2012/13
to 4.3% in 2013/14, which corresponds
to the target. Notably, Government
spending on social protection as a share
of GDP slightly increased to 2.26% in
2013/14, though remaining below the
2015 target of 3% (Table 2).
Available data on poverty show a
decline from 40% in 2005 to 32% in
2010 (8 percentage points), a level
closer to the MDG target (29%). At
divisional level, the most pronounced
poverty decline was registered in
Rajshahi and Khulna (30 percentage
points), while the less pronounced in
Dhaka division (4 percentage points). Rangpur and Barisal remain the poorest divisions.
Looking at gender-specific poverty data, interestingly, female-headed households were
found to be less poor than male-headed ones (Figure 3). This might be due to remittances

.
National rice wage - a measure of the purchasing power of wage earners - increased from
5.8% to 9.7%, during the period 2012/13–2013/14 (Table 2), which was largely above the
target. This implies that access to staple food improved remarkably during the period.
The agriculture sector, which represents the main source of food and nutrients, is a broad-
based source of income and serves as one of the key determinants of food prices in the
country. While producing more food through increasing yields is a commendable outcome,
it is alone inadequate to improve the nutritional status in Bangladesh. Agriculture related
interventions18
have the potential to be a strong driver for enhancing nutritional status, for
instance by diversifying production aimed at improving the nutrient output of farming
systems and in turn enhancing diversified food consumption and improving diets. This
potential is currently far from being realized.
However, neither agricultural growth nor non-agricultural growth is sufficient to reduce
child malnutrition, due to limiting non-income factors such as disease burden, inappropriate
child care and related factors. A diet which is adequate in quantity (energy) and quality
(nutrients) is necessary but in itself not sufficient to ensure adequate nutrition. A child
weakened by ill health and disease (e.g. diarrhea) will not absorb sufficient nutrients as an
immediate level dietary intake and health status interact in a virtuous cycle. Another key
dimension of nutrition is the life cycle. Growth policies need to be accompanied by strategic
investments in complementary sectors (health, education, trade and transport) and
targeted nutrition and health programmes that impact the human life span. In addition,
even though positively correlated, improvements in nutritional status do not necessarily
keep the pace of poverty reduction19
.
Economic growth, averaging 6% per annum in recent years, plays an important role in
improving nutritional outcomes. The process of improvement is, however, very slow, given
that the impact of increase in income is only marginally reflected into improvements in child
stunting20
; non-income factors are essential in reducing stunting. Failing to address
malnutrition has high costs in terms of higher budget outlays - especially for health but also
for education sectors as malnourished children have poorer schooling outcomes - as well as
loss of GDP. Annually, Bangladesh loses over 700 million USD in GDP to vitamin and mineral
deficiencies, while scaling up core micronutrient interventions would cost less than 65
Million USD per year21
. According to the PROFILES estimates, for each USD invested over the
period 2011 – 2021, a net benefit of 6.7 USD could be generated by 202122
. Another study
estimates the median value of benefits as 18 times higher than the related costs of investing
in stunting in Bangladesh23
.

The high cost of malnutrition for public budgets suggests there is a need to raise public
attention and investment on nutrition specific and sensitive interventions, as economic
growth alone is not sufficient to address malnutrition.
3.2. NFP Objective 1 outcomes
Objective 1 of the NFP is to ensure adequate and stable supply of safe and nutritious food. It
is monitored through the indicators reported in Table 4. Agricultural GDP measures changes
in both quantity and value of food supply. Instability of rice production gives a measurement
of the magnitude of the variability in the production of national staple food, while rice
import dependency defines the degree of self-sufficiency reached for rice. The share of rice
value added in total food value added represents a proxy for production differentiation.

Agricultural GDP growth accelerates and diversification continues
In FY 2013/14, agricultural GDP registered a remarkable 4.3% growth, increasing from 2.17%
of previous year, though still below target (4.3% in 2013/14) for a third consecutive year
(Table 4). The achievement of the non-crop sector largely contributed to the accelerated
growth namely, fishery (6.5%), and livestock (2.8%) sectors performed largely better than
the crop (1.9%) sector. These results suggest a changing pattern in the composition of
agricultural GDP and diversification from crop (particularly rice) based agriculture. In
particular, the growing fishery sector generated more than 25% of the agricultural value
added, benefitting from a structural transformation towards an organized and market-
oriented aquaculture system (see Programme 4). While diversification in production
continued, it represents a big challenge especially in the northern part of the country as
most northern districts and upazilas are deficit in fish, eggs, meat and milk production, while
are self-sufficient for rice. Moreover, the relatively lower water endowment in the north
would suggest that less water intensive crops should ideally be grown instead of rice (see
programme 2).
24
It is a 3-year moving average of the ratio between (imports) and (net production + imports – export). 25
Measured by a de-trended 10-year coefficient of variation: the difference between annual production and its 10-year rolling linear
trend.
14
Rice import dependency
continued to decline
Rice import dependency -
measured as a three year
moving average – dropped
to 0.9% in 2013/14 from
2.3% in the previous year,
continuing its steady decline
from 4% registered in
2007/08 (Figure 4). This
trend is in line with the rice
self-sufficiency policy. While
rice import remained low in
2013/14, it increased,
largely driven by private
imports (99%), up to nearly
375,000 MT, by more than
347,000 MT compared to 2012/13. The strong Bangladeshi Taka and high international
transportation costs, which caused domestic rice price to be uncompetitive in border
districts, may have contributed to this increasing trend (Figure 4)26
.
Instability of rice production remained unchanged
The instability of rice production27
remained substantially unchanged in 2013/14 at 2.9%
compared to the previous year (Table 4). Rice production increased by around 1.5% in
2013/14 against a slight
decline registered in
2012/13 (0.2%). The slight
reduction in acreage (0.5%)
suggests that gains in
production are derived from
higher yields (Figure 5). Aus
production increased by 8%
which sums up to aman and
boro production increases
by 1% each. The trend is
largely pulled by boro
production, which has been
consistently increasing since
the mid-1990s
compensating for
fluctuations in both aus and aman production (Figure 5).
Share of rice value added continued to decline
In 2013/14, the share of rice value added in total food value added, measured at current
price, decreased to a provisional 37.8% down from 38.5% registered in 2012/13. This

Rice production instability is measured by the coefficient of variation of the difference between production and rolling linear trend over
a ten-year period.

suggests that diversification in production is consistently continuing over the two latest
financial years, although at a slower pace than diversification in consumption (see
programme 10): with reduced per capita consumption of rice and increased consumption of
high value food items, such as meat, fish, milk and edible oil28
.
Food grain price volatility stabilized
after the 2007/08 food price crisis
The food grain real prices registered a
mixed trend, increasing for rice while
decreasing for wheat, over 2013/14
(Figure 6). Food grain price volatility29
declined after picking during the
2007/08 food price crisis. Figure 7 shows
a certain trend in the fluctuations with
prices cyclically more volatile around
May-June. While the overall situation in
terms of price stability is encouraging,
the negative impact of river erosion,
localized floods, and saltwater intrusion, exacerbated by the negative effects of climate
change, continue to represent a threat for agricultural production and price stability,
especially in the south.
Persisting agricultural trade deficit
The trade deficit in agricultural sector accounted for 7 billion USD in 201130
, and was
forecasted to increase in the following years. However, encouraging results have been
registered for the export of fishery products which showed an increasing trend in both
quantity and value (programme 4). Bangladesh is the fourth largest producer of aquaculture
products (i.e. fish,
crustaceans, mollusks, etc.)
in the world31
. Overall,
fishery commodities are the
second largest export items
after ready-made garments,
generating around 458
million USD (shrimps
accounts for more than 80%)
in 2013/14. This figure
compares against 360
million USD generated from
export of other agricultural
products, such as
vegetables, tobacco, cut
flowers and fruits32

particular, prawn and shrimp production is of particular importance as the sector provides
employment to about 1.2 million people, with 4.8 million household members depending on
the sector33
.
In order to support exports, markets and quality standards of importing countries need to
be analyzed. However, the rapid expansion of shrimp production over the last twenty years
has led to a growing concern because of resource use conflicts, adverse effect on the
environment and socio-economic conditions of people in the coastal region (programme 2).
3.2.2.Issues and policy challenges
Implement the National Agricultural Policy 2013
The recently approved National Agricultural Policy (NAP, 2013) aims to ensure food and
nutrition security for all and to generate employment opportunities through increased
productivity, agricultural diversification and income generation. Increased crop production
critically depends on key factors including good quality seeds, efficient irrigation
management, the use of balanced fertilizers and timely credit availability. The public sector
needs to undertake responsibility and ensure accountability of the different actors involved,
by strengthening the relevant legal frameworks and its enforcement. Emphasis would need
to be given to private sector participation in seed production, marketing and credit
provision. To improve income opportunities and ensure food quality and food waste
reduction, it is essential to develop agricultural marketing through improved infrastructure
and effective food value chain ‘from the farm to the fork’. The policy also suggests
establishing local level storage facilities and agro-processing industries.
The NAP promotes diversification by increasing area and production of other crops, e.g.
potato, pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, fruits and spices, under the crop diversification
programme, which will gradually be extended. The active role of women in different
nutrition sensitive agricultural interventions, e.g. homestead gardening, seed production,
bee keeping, food processing and storage, needs to be sustained. To this end, the NAP
recognized threats to the agricultural sector such as environmental hazards, deteriorating
soil quality, continued reduction of arable land and water, loss of agricultural biodiversity,
excessive and unbalanced use of pesticides and inadequate budgetary allocation for
agricultural research. In particular, the decreasing availability of arable land and increasing
degradation of soil health and fertility pose serious threats to sustainable agricultural
production.
Promote intensification of rice production
Bangladesh has attained self-sufficiency in rice production, resulting from stimulating
production growth over the past years. However, the limited availability of land, water
(exacerbated by negative effects of climate change) and male labor (due to rural-to-urban
migrations) will increasingly make productivity gains more difficult to obtain. Reduction of
yield gaps between potential and actual yields is essential in maintaining acceptable
production growth. However, in absence of development and diffusion of extra high yield
new varieties, sustaining rice self-sufficiency will be challenging. Promoting bio-fortified
rice varieties production could also contribute significantly to meeting zinc requirements
in the diet.

17
Sustain the expansion of mechanization
Rapid expansion of mechanization could compensate for the shortage of key production
factors, draft power and land. Farm mechanization could contribute to productivity gains,
increasing input use efficiency (water, seed, fertilizer, land and labor), achieving timeliness
of crop production operations and reducing post harvest loss. Selective mechanization
based on traditional devices could also represent a cost-effective option. In this context,
emphasis needs to be given to the collaborative role of public and private sectors in
technology development and diffusion. While the NAP 2013 suggested incentivizing
mechanization for instance through import tax exemption, cash incentives and support for
applied research, importers still complain about heavy taxation on machineries, and little
monetary incentives have been registered.
Provide more incentives for agro-processing industry
Food processing including canning of fruits and vegetables, mushroom growing and drying
food has considerable potential for income and value addition, provided that quality
control is ensured. For realizing the full potential of their production, domestic marketing
and export, the Government needs to maintain its current commitment to provide fiscal
and budgetary support, and invest in manufacturing and infrastructure. Supporting food
processing could stimulate cultivation of vegetables, spices and tropical fruits as key
inputs for the industry.
Preserve forest resources for environmental protection
The pressure on land due to expansion of crop production activities and climate change is
progressively increasing and undermining forest coverage in the country, with consequent
loss of biodiversity. Only around 7% of total land area is under forest coverage34
.
Indiscriminate harvest from the forest has been posing threat to local flora and fauna. In
particular, jhum cultivation contributed to environmental degradation and to reducing
reforestation outcomes in hilly areas. Out of the 250,000 hectares originally targeted for
reforestation within the 6th
Five Year Plan, only 26,000 hectares were planted in the hill
areas. Moreover, shrimp cultivation threatens mangroves forest ecosystem in the
southwest, by increasing soil salinity which leads to percolation into surrounding soils,
resulting in modified soil chemistry35
. Forest management practice in Bangladesh moved
from a production-oriented approach towards the so-called community forestry, a more
people-centric model designed to support the conservation of forest resources36
. The
Government has amended the Social Forestry Rules (2004), making provision for private
investment with improved benefit sharing mechanism37
. Deforestation, loss of biodiversity
and other related socio-environmental externalities need further attention in cross-
sectoral policy interventions.
Strengthen the adaptation to climate change impacts
While contributing only marginally to greenhouse gas emissions, Bangladesh is heavily
affected by climate change impact. In the south, the country suffers from rising sea level,
and consequent inundations, salinization of fresh water resources and coastal erosion. In

are prone to displacement and seasonally food insecure. Climate change impacts
negatively affect the availability of agricultural factors (e.g. water, land and soil quality),
their productivity, as well as agricultural production growth rate. To this end, developing
adaptation and resilience measures will be the challenge ahead and will require adequate
investments38
.
3.3. NFP Objective 2 outcomes
Objective 2 of the NFP is to increase purchasing power and access to food. The objective
encompasses three broad strategies namely transitory shock management, targeted food
assistance programmes and employment generating income growth. The measures to be
considered in accomplishing the objective include: (1) special measures for disaster
mitigation in agriculture; (2) increased supply of food through market and public
distribution; (3) investment in employment generating technologies; (4) education and skill
development; (5) support for expansion of rural industries; and (6) special support for
women and disabled in income generating activities.

Rice wage increased at an increasing rate
Rice wage of all wage earners showed a significant increase in 2013/14 (9.65%) compared to
2012/13 (5.84%) on a three year moving average basis, reflecting higher purchasing power
of wage earners in all sectors of the economy. This was due to higher increase in the three
years average of general wage index compared to the corresponding increase in the
national wholesale rice price index (Table 5). This was a contrasting case with what
happened in 2007/08 when the rise in price index was much higher than rise in wage index.

Agricultural Sector Development Strategy: Background paper for the 7FYP (2015).

As for sector specific changes in nominal wages, Figure 8 shows that the nominal agricultural
wage increased sharply from 2002 to 2014. Although the annual average wage increased
moderately between 2002 and
2009, a sharp increase was
observed between 2009 and 2010.
In percentage term, annual average
wage increase was 115% during the
later six years (2008-2014)
compared to 90% increase during
the former six years (2002-2008)
period39
. However, the monotonic
increase in the nominal wage may
not have represented persistent
increase in the real purchasing
power of agricultural workers.
Figure 9 shows that rice wage of
agricultural workers had a lot of
fluctuations between December 2005 and June 2014. Rice wage decreased from 5.5 Kg of
rice per day in December 2005 to 4.5 Kg in June 2008. Between June 2008 and June 2009,
rice wage constantly accelerated. With substantial drop in December 2010, rice wage
started rising with fluctuations and reached its peak in June 2012 when agricultural workers
used to get more than 11 kg of rice per day of work. From June 2012 to June 2014,
agricultural rice wage
virtually had a decreasing
trend with a lot of
fluctuations. However, 8.9 kg
of rice per day of agricultural
work, as was registered in
June 2014, could be
considered as a reasonably
satisfactory level of real wage
of agricultural workers. The
higher nominal and real
wages would provide
incentives for agricultural
works to remain in
agricultural work and thereby
would contribute to reduce
rural to urban migration.
Poverty declined to achieve the MDG-1 target
With decline of poverty rate from 56.6% in 1991/92 to 31.5% in 2010, Bangladesh is
considered to be on track of achieving the MDG1 target. The decline in urban poverty from
42.8% to 21.3% during the period reflects that for urban poverty the target was already
39
It needs to be noted that annual agricultural wage contains a great deal of seasonality. Higher wages prevail during land preparation,
transplanting and harvesting of the three major rice crops. In other months of cropping activities, agricultural wages remain relatively
lower.

achieved by 2010. Over the period of last two decades, the decline in poverty was more
pronounced for lower line than for upper line poverty (HIES 2010). Also, poverty declined
more sharply during the 2000-2010 decade compared to the preceding decade. As for the
size of population under poverty, Figure
10 indicates that while population under
poverty marginally decreased from
1991/92 to 1995/96, it marginally
increased in 2000 and the decline of
poverty rate was faster from 2005 to
2010. According to Planning Commission
projection, national head count poverty
rate declined to 24.5% in 2014, against
the MDG-1 target of 29% in 201540
.
Regarding change in poverty based on
direct calorie intake (DCI), the World
Bank estimates showed that moderate
(absolute) poverty rate corresponding to
per capita daily calorie intake less than
2,122 Kcals declined from 44.3% in 2000 to 38.4% in 201041
. Thus calorie poverty declined at
a much slower pace than income poverty, implying that even the poor people may be
diverting proportionately a higher part of their incremental income to non-food items
(within the basic need goods bundle) before reaching their (upper line) calorie threshold.
The depth of poverty, also called poverty
gap, declined substantially over the past
two decades. As can be seen from Table 5,
poverty gap decreased from 9.0% in 2005 to
6.5% in 2010, against the MDG-1 target of
8.0% by 2015. Thus, the decline in poverty
gap reached the target 5 years earlier than
the terminal year of MDGs.
Poverty and food security is also measured
using perception based data. Flood coping
strategies among ultra-poor households
were examined42
in two flood prone areas,
which showed that the poor households had
better food security during May and June,
the months coinciding with boro rice
harvest in the areas. The challenges of food
security during the flooding period (July and
August) improved during the time of harvest
of winter rice (November and December), with provision of better employment

Box 1: Perception based poverty of ethnic and

A study in Chittagong Hill Tracts region showed
that around a third of both ethnic and non-ethnic
households worried about their next meal.
Perception based food insecurity was more severe
among ethnic households compared to non-ethnic
households. Sixty-two percent of the ethnic and
70% of the non-ethnic households reported that
they could not afford to take balanced meals.
Moreover, 31% and 50% of ethnic and non-ethnic
households, respectively, relied on less expensive
foods on a daily basis as a coping strategy during
food shortage periods.
Promoting shifting cultivation, planting of fruit
orchard, strengthening market linkages and small-
scale creek dams are some of the strategies that
warrant policy attention.

Food inflation remained above general inflation
The difference between food and general inflation marginally reduced to 0.21% in 2013/14
from 0.22% in 2012/13 on a three year moving average basis (Table 5). The difference
widened in 2007/08 because of galloping food inflation during the year. Figure 11 shows
that the difference narrowed in September 2009, widened in March 2011, converged in
December 2011 and December 2012 and again widened in March 2014.
Food and non-food inflation exhibited wide fluctuations over the past five years. After the
deep plunge in June 2009, food inflation had major fluctuations with rising trend up to
March 2011. For the whole period from Sept 2009 to Sept 2011, food inflation remained
above the non-food inflation,
with general inflation having a
rising trend. From December
2011 to September 2012, the
situation was reverse, with
food inflation remaining below
non-food and general
inflations and the general
inflation having a downward
trend. After December 2012,
food inflation again went
above non-food inflation and
remained so up to June 2014.
During this period, food
inflation had lesser fluctuation
than non-food inflation,
causing general inflation to
remain relatively stable. The rising prices for rice, which has higher weight in the food price
index, may have caused the food inflation to remain higher during the 2013/14 period. As
would be evident from Figure 26 (Programme 6), price of coarse rice persistently increased
from February 2013 to February 2014.
3.3.2 Issues and policy challenges
Strengthen the right to food
The right to food implies that the society/Government is obliged to provide food to people
for survival. The right to food is established in Article 11 of 1966 International Covenant on
Economic, Social and Cultural Rights43
. In Bangladesh, the framework for right to food is
provided by Article 15(a) of the National Constitution whereby the Government is
committed to implement the basic provisions of the right to food. The right to food is closely
linked to the idea of moral economy which can be summarized as a set of ideas about the
right to subsistence even during crisis, and the responsibility of the public authority is to
protect that right.

Bangladesh has a well articulated food policy framework. The National Food Policy (NFP)
was approved in 2006. The National Food Policy Plan of Action (NFP PoA) was subsequently
prepared for the period 2008-2015 which provided the framework for implementing the
NFP along with result monitoring. Several food based programmes have been adopted and
implemented to improve food security situation of the poor. However, these measures and
actions do not constitute a right-based approach. The goals and targets of policies and
programmes should be in conformity with the targets to which the state commits in the
process of signing various human rights instruments44
. The existing laws on food are
concerned more with food safety and are not formulated on a 'rights-based' approach. The
Government would need to enshrine food as a fundamental right, where a Framework law
on Right to Food is deemed necessary to realize this right45
.
Promote rural non-farm employment
The structure of employment in rural areas exhibited significant change over the last
decade. Empirical analysis using HIES and Labour Force Survey (LFS) data showed that the
growth of employment in agriculture and rural non-farm activities (RNA) was 8 percent and
25.5 percent respectively during 2006-2010 period. The analysis also showed that during the
2000 to 2010 period, share of agricultural income decreased from 49.9 percent to 47.8
percent, while RNA’s share increased from 50.1 percent to 52.2 percent46
. In view of the
shrinking future employment opportunities in agriculture resulting from declining
availability of land and increasing mechanization, policies need to support further expansion
of non-farm employment opportunities in rural areas.
Improve income distribution
Although head count poverty rate declined appreciably over the last decade, there has been
little improvement in income distribution situation in the country. In fact overall Gini
coefficient slightly increased from 0.451 in 2000 to 0.467 in 2005 and then marginally
decreased to 0.458 in 2010, representing marginal improvement during the latter part of
the decade. Although overall income distribution situation was slightly better in rural than in
urban areas, rural areas experienced worsening of income distribution between 2000 and
2010 (Gini coefficient increasing from 0.39 to 0.43) compared to urban areas where income
distribution moderately improved, as indicated of the decline of Gini coefficient from 0.50
to 0.45 during the period. While policy attention is required to address the issue of high
income inequality, attention needs to be given to the worsening of income distribution
situation in rural areas, which has implication for the poorest and vulnerable population.
Strengthen emergency food distribution system in alignment with NSPS
Food grain distribution through PFDS increased from 2.1 million tons in 2012/13 to 2.2
million tons in 2013/14. Distribution through VGF, TR and GR in 2013/14 was 3.44 lakh, 4.11
lakh and 0.5 lakh metric tons respectively which were higher than distribution through the
respective channels in 2012/13. Distribution through these channels needs to be
strengthened, particularly following disasters47
. Under the new NSPS, the Government will

gradually convert the food-based transfer programmes into cash-based ones in line with the
life-cycle based approach. However, the need for some food-based safety net programmes
including distribution of readymade/cooked foods will continue to remain to address
specific circumstances arising out of natural disasters48
. Since the Government is planning to
expand food storage capacity for maintaining higher stocks to meet the emergency and
other needs, provision should be made for periodic rotation of stocks, and in-kind
distribution mechanisms would have to be designed accordingly.
Improve food access in disadvantaged areas
In analyzing food access, the regional and seasonal dimensions need to be considered.
There are areas which remain chronically or seasonally disadvantaged in accessing food.
Cyclone, flood, river erosion and other natural disasters cause some areas to remain
chronically and seasonally disadvantaged. One typical case is the water logged areas in the
southern region. Long term inundation prevents cultivation of most of the crops, resulting in
significant loss to households in the water logged areas. The effects include reduced
incomes, poor dietary diversity and seasonal migration. One empirical investigation in a
water logged area in Satkhira district showed that households at the better off end of the
wealth spectrum were able to switch from crop production to aquaculture. Other
households at the lower end of the wealth spectrum lacked human, financial and political
capital to be able to engage in new opportunities49
. Government and non-Government
initiatives are required to improve the wealth holding status of poor households (e.g.
improved access to credit) in the disadvantaged areas.
[Stabilize food prices
Food price fluctuations affect both producers and consumers of food products. As has been
observed, food prices remained below non-food prices during almost the entire period of
2012, both prices having moderate fluctuations with downward trend. From early 2013,
food prices started remaining above non-food prices, with non-food prices having a
moderate downward trend. Both prices remained relatively stable over the recent past
months. Information from the Trading Corporation of Bangladesh showed that while prices
of coarse rice and atta increased marginally, those for soybean oil and pulses decreased
marginally during the fiscal year 2013/14. A moderate price increase was observed for
spices and condiments.
Although food prices have remained relatively stable over the past one year, overall food
inflation has remained above non-food inflation. Since poor people spend major share of
their income on food, stability of food prices needs to be maintained at a lower level than
what has been prevailing over the recent past months.

Slow decline in dietary energy supply from cereals
The contribution of cereals to Dietary Energy Supply (DES) has declined very slowly since the
mid 1990s falling from 79.6% in 1995/96 to 78.1% in 2005/07, 78.3% in 2007/09, 76.9% in
2008/10 and 77.0% in 2009/11 (Table 6). The agricultural production data shows that
increase in rice production and cereals supply improved faster than population. While
overall food and energy supply has improved considerably in the last two decades, and
there is improved adequacy of dietary energy, the food supply diversification shows
stagnancy.
Improvement in dietary diversity
Nutrition-sensitive agriculture interventions
intimately influence the diversity of diets.
Accordingly, individual dietary diversity or
the number of food groups consumed by an
individual in a set period of time, provides a
measure of both quantity and quality of food
eaten, thereby giving an indication of the
overall nutrient adequacy of the dietary
intake at a population level50
.

A nine-item (food groups) scale questionnaire previously developed has been used to ascertain the quality of a woman’s diet in light of
her nutritional needs and validated for women in Bangladesh. This scale has been revised to include ten item food groups since July 2014.

an incremental trend in women’s dietary diversity at divisional levels. Over a fourth (29%) of
women consumed in the previous 24 hours more than four food groups out of nine,
compared to those consuming fewer than four food groups. The western divisions of
Khulna, Rajshahi, and Rangpur showed poorer dietary diversity scores than other divisions.
At the national level between 2011 and 2013 there has been little change with the mean
dietary diversity score increasing by a little less than 0.05 points annually. However, the
mean dietary diversity score in urban areas is higher than that in rural areas with less than
50% of women consuming inadequate diets in urban areas.
Decline in chronic energy deficiency among women
Working efficiency, productivity and limited resilience to health and stresses are linked to
chronic energy deficiency (CED). While BDHS 2011 reported the proportion of women with
underweight or CED (BMI<18.5) at 24%, FSNSP updates shows a decline in CED prevalence
from 23% in 2011/12, to 20% in 2012/13, and to 17% in 2013/14 (Table 6). For the first time
in 2011, FSNSP reported that the number of overweight women surpassed the number of
underweight women. The proportion of
overweight (BMI>23) showed an
increasing trend from 18% in 2004 to
30% in 2011/12 to 35% in 2012/13 and
to 39% in 2013/14 (Figure 13). The
proportion of urban women in the most
severe category for obesity has
increased by three percentage points
between 2012 and 2013. The
prevalence of obesity is rising
nationally, indicating that the problem
is not confined within urban areas or
well-off populations. Overweight
among poor women is alarmingly high,
with one-fifth being overweight.
Evidence points to the co-existence of both under and overnutrition in Bangladesh, which
are risk factors for non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Unhealthy dietary patterns rank
above tobacco as the leading driver of preventable NCDs and the rising incidence of
diabetes, cardio-vascular diseases and cancer as the leading causes of morbidity and
mortality. This warrants urgent policy attention for primary and secondary prevention which
is in line with World Health Assembly (WHA) global voluntary targets for the prevention and
control of NCD52
. As part of the NCD control programme under the HPNSDP, 142 urban
health centres are providing hypertension and diabetes screening.
Consumption of children’s minimum acceptable diet slightly improved
Early initiation of breastfeeding, 6 months exclusive breastfeeding, timely initiation of solid,
semi-solid or soft foods from six months of age, intake of animal foods and hand washing
with soap before child feeding are important for appropriate infant and young child feeding
(IYCF). For diversity in complementary feeding it is essential for infants and young children

(6 to 23 months) to take at least four food groups out of seven, including animal foods and
micronutrient rich fruits and vegetables every day53
.
FSNSP 2013 data shows an improvement wherein 38% of children 6 to 23 months are fed a
minimum acceptable diet as compared to 21% in BDHS 2011, 32% in USED 2013 and 23% in
2014 (Table 6). The BDHS 2014 estimates show that this figure has only slightly increased
since 2011 by around 2% points a year54
. The NNS is accelerating its IYCF activities with the
job aids on IYCF. In particular, IYCF strategies and programmes are being delivered through
media campaigns and community mobilisation processes. However, the current levels of
consumption of a minimum acceptable diet are far below the HPNSDP target for 2016 of
52%. The proportion of children eating iron-rich foods has increased from 44% in 2012 to
48% in 2013 indicating an improvement of four percentage points between 2012 and 2013.
The consumption of minimum acceptable diets was also higher in urban areas than the rural
areas, with urban children eating an adequate diet more frequently than the rural children.
The minimum diet consumption also increases gradually with the increase of wealth
quintiles.
Micronutrient deficiencies: iodized salt consumption almost static
The consequences of micronutrient deficiencies are increased risk of mortality and
compromised quality of life that impact
on development and productivity. The
consumption of iodized salt (5 ppm) in
households decreased from 82% in
201155
to 80% in 201356
. However,
consumption of iodized salt slightly
increased to 81% in 2014 (Table 6)57
.
There are continued concerns related to
the adequacy of iodine in the salt
available in the market and consumed,
wherein at the national level 57.6% of
households consume adequately iodised

Box 2: Salt iodization in Bangladesh
Considering iodine deficiency disorder (IDD) as a
serious problem, the policy of the Government is to
eradicate IDD through universal salt iodization
programme. There are 305 registered salt refineries
of which registration of 66 salt refineries cancelled
due to violation of conditions. Now a total of 125 salt
refineries are in operation of which 27 salt refineries
(12 large and 15 medium) provide 80 percent
coverage of iodised salt requirement. The salt
production time is from November to March and the
yearly requirement of salt for human consumption
and other purposes is 9 lac and 4 lac metric tonnes
respectively. Importation of salt from other countries
is not needed to meet the requirement now. The Salt
Iodization Act is being revised to make it more
operational and to ensure quality. In the revised Act,
the proposed amount of addition of potassium iodate
in salt is 30 to 50 ppm at production level, the range
seems high. There are 8 quality control laboratories in
8 BSCIC zones and on average 4 samples are tested
per month in each laboratory. The samples for quality
check are collected by 54 Inspectors of BSCIC.

not buy salt packets due to unavailability of salt in small packets58
.
Bangladesh Small and Cottage Industries Corporation (BSCIC) recently consulted with the
stakeholders including the members of the salt refiners association, academia, lawyers and
UN representatives about the revision of the Universal Edible Salt Iodization Act 1989 that
requires update (Box 2). Unfortunately only 27.5% of the retailers know about the existing
Salt Law of which 20.0% do not know about the punishment of violating the law59
. To this
end, quality control of the salt, price control, consumer awareness on the importance of
iodized salt, and regular quality checking are necessary.
Prevention and control of iron deficiency anaemia improving
Iron supplementation during pregnancy is associated with reduced maternal anaemia, and
folic acid supplementation at the time of conception is associated with reduced neural tube
defects in the brain and spinal cord60
. The prevalence of anaemia in preschool age children
was 33% nationally, 37% in rural areas, 22% in slums and 23% in urban areas as reported in
2011-2012 NMSS survey. One in every three preschool children and one in every four non-
pregnant and non-lactating women is still anaemic, which warrants revisit of the existing
public health programmes and strategies. The community clinics distribute iron-folate
tablets to the pregnant women and adolescent girls for the control of nutritional anaemia.
Besides, deworming tablets are also distributed for the removal of intestinal parasites
during vitamin A campaigns and deworming week.
Low coverage on the use of micronutrient powders has limited impact on the control of iron
deficiency anaemia (IDA). Food-based approaches promoted in the community for infants
at-risk of IDA can positively contribute to improved iron intake and provide a sustainable
approach to its prevention. The production of micronutrient rich vegetables and fruits
(especially iron, folate and vitamin C) should be increased through agricultural extension,
and fish, poultry and small livestock production activities need to be promoted. Besides,
food preparation, processing and preservation and marketing need to be integrated with
these activities.
3.4.2. Issues and policy challenges
Food security and health investments have increased nutrition programming with support
for scaling up food and health based nutrition interventions through multisectoral
collaboration and coordination in Bangladesh. A number of policy actions for improving the
delivery on nutrition outcomes are necessary.
Accelerate nutrition-sensitive and nutrition-specific actions
Nutrition-sensitive interventions address the underlying determinants of fetal and child
nutrition and development – food security; adequate care giving resources at the maternal,
household, and community levels; and access to health services and a safe and hygienic
environment that incorporate specific nutrition goals and actions. The nutrition specific
interventions address the immediate determinants of fetal and child nutrition and
development – adequate food and nutrient intake, feeding, care giving and parenting

practices, and a low burden of infectious diseases. Nutrition-sensitive programmes serve as
delivery platforms for nutrition-specific interventions, potentially increasing their scale,
coverage, and effectiveness61
.
The reduction of maternal and child undernutrition needs nutrition sensitive actions
including motivation and practical incentives. Among incentives, taxes and subsidies might
play a role at policy level, and for the longer term, multisectoral training in nutrition and
agriculture is the key62
. The
contribution of women in
agricultural activities including
production, processing and
preservation need to be valued to
maximise their productivity. The
increase in women’s empowerment
is positively correlated with calorie
availability, dietary diversity and
adult body mass index (BMI).
Mother’s greater control over
resources improves child outcomes –
in particular, nutrition and
education63
. Empowerment of
women in agriculture contributes to
improvement of health and
nutritional status of women and
children64
. Alongside is the need for
strengthening the consistency of
nutrition messaging across
agriculture, fisheries and livestock
extension services including all
women focused agriculture
interventions.
Improve nutrition through
agriculture and food systems
Food systems meet people’s
nutritional requirements and also
contribute to economic growth. The
primary role of food and agriculture
sector is to feed people by increasing
availability, affordability, and consumption of diverse, safe, nutritious foods and diets,
aligned with dietary recommendations and environmental sustainability. Key
recommendations for improving nutrition through agriculture and food systems are shown
in Box 3.

Box 3: Key recommendations for improving nutrition
through agriculture and food systems
� Incorporate explicit nutrition objectives and indicators
into the design, and track and mitigate potential harms,
while seeking synergies with economic, social and
environmental objectives.
� Assess the context at the local level, to design
appropriate activities to address all types and causes of
malnutrition. Target the vulnerable and improve equity
through participation, access to resources, and decent
employment.
� Collaborate and coordinate with other sectors and
programmes, through joint strategies with common
goals, to address the multiple underlying causes of
malnutrition.
� Maintain or improve the natural resource base for the
livelihoods and resilience of vulnerable farmers and for
sustainable food and nutrition security for all.
� Empower women by ensuring access to productive
resources, income opportunities, extension services
credit, labour and time-saving technologies.
� Facilitate production diversification, and increase
production of nutrient dense crops and small livestock.
� Improve processing, storage and preservation to retain
nutritional value, shelf-life, and food safety, to reduce
seasonality of food insecurity and postharvest losses, and
to make healthy foods convenient to prepare.
� Expand markets and market access for vulnerable groups,
especially for marketing nutritious foods or products.
� Incorporate nutrition promotion and education around
food systems that builds on local knowledge, attitudes
and practices to increase demand for nutritious foods
across the general population.

Promote dietary diversity and nutrition
Diverse diets that combine a variety of cereals, legumes, vegetables, fruits and animal-
source foods will provide adequate nutrition for most people to meet energy and nutrient
requirements, although supplements may be needed during vulnerable stages of life,
notably pregnancy. Dietary diversity is considered as a key indicator of a high-quality diet.
Increasing dietary diversification through consumption of a broad variety of foods,
preferably from home gardens, fisheries and small livestock production is being promoted.
In poor rural households in Kishoreganj, small indigenous fish species contributed 40% and
31% of the total recommended intakes of vitamin A and calcium, respectively65
. Darkina
(Esomus danricus) a local fish has a high heme iron and calcium content as well as zinc and
this fish is eaten with bones which make it a ‘package source’ of micronutrients. Support for
increasing the production of small fish and communication efforts for promoting
consumption needs to be scaled up. Promotion of nation wide awareness using mass media
communication and interpersonal communications for dietary diversification are central to
this effort.
Expedite implementation of NNS activities including complementary feeding
The community clinics under the Health, Population and Nutrition Sector Development
Programme – HPNSDP 2011-2016 of MoHFW are implementing few NNS activities. NNS
covers facility-based services, community/area-based nutrition activities, human resource
development, providing micronutrients, operational research and surveys, monitoring and
evaluation and nutrition information systems. They also work on facility-based treatment of
acute malnutrition in children, iron-folate supplementation for women, and antenatal care
and counselling to the pregnant women and delivery of basic health and nutrition services.
Referral systems for the treatment of mothers and children need to be established in a
sustainable manner. Mass media awareness and interpersonal communication are being
scaled up through behaviour change communication programmes. The nutrient-dense
complementary food recipes developed by Bangladesh Breastfeeding Foundation (BBF) and
the recipe book unwrapped by the Honourable Prime Minister during the World
Breastfeeding Week 2014 need to be extensively used in community based training and
widely disseminated, with a focus on the North, South and CHT areas where malnutrition is
highest66
.
Accelerate implementation of prevention strategies for non-communicable diseases
(NCDs)
NCDs account for about 60% of all deaths, with cardiovascular and circulatory disease at
17%, and cancers at 24%. However, 80% of cardiovascular problems and 40% cancers can be
prevented by tackling key risk factors, in particular unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, and
harmful use of tobacco67
. Reduction of overall salt intake serves both the under nutrition
and NCD objectives. NCDs reduce the ability of individuals to work and thus decrease family
income. Persisting high levels of undernutrition, combined with rising levels of nutrition-
related NCDs, will only add to this economic cost, dampening potential growth and draining
national resources. The implementation of prevention strategies for non communicable
diseases needs to be accelerated.

Strengthen food safety and quality activities under BFSA
The Government is concerned to the supply of safe, healthy and nutritious food to its
people. Bangladesh Food Safety Act 2013 includes establishment of an Independent Food
Safety Authority through gazette notification and reorganization of National Food Safety
Advisory Council for ensuring food safety and quality. The formulation of rules and
regulations by the Government for implementation of the Food Safety Act 2013 is needed.
The Bangladesh Food Safety Authority (BFSA) has been established and preliminary activities
have begun. The coordination of its activities has started and an FAO project is supporting
the establishment and functioning of the BFSA with the financial assistance of USAID.
Besides, another food safety project is being implemented by FAO with the financial
assistance of the Netherlands Government under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
The activities for food safety and quality need to be strengthened and coordinated within
the purview of the BFSA.
Ensure full coverage of access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene
Unsafe water and inadequate sanitation are linked to diarrhoeal diseases, acute respiratory
infections, and skin diseases68
. Bangladesh has made good progress in providing safe
drinking water and improved toilet facilities to citizens, but other components of a healthy
environment are still lagging behind. Proper hand washing before child feeding is a life-
saving and cost-effective intervention for families, the lack of which may lead to infections
and poor appetite; and eventually malnutrition and death. Awareness and practice of
hygiene, hand washing before food preparation and food consumption and after defecation,
are critical to reduce the morbidity. As poor sanitation is one of the major determinants of
child stunting, there is need to accelerate sanitation access by all and be on track towards
reaching MDG-7.
Enhance fortification and bio-fortification
initiatives
WFP in collaboration with the Government is
introducing fortified rice called ‘Pushti Chal’
in mitigating micronutrient deficiencies.
Fortified rice kernels mixed with powdered
vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B12, folic acid,
iron and zinc according to WHO guidelines
and the micronutrient requirement of the
population of Bangladesh69
. Fortified rice
needs to be explored for use in the major
social safety net programmes, garment
factories, corporate social programmes, and
for commercial sale for general public. The
country’s first bio-fortified rice variety
(enriched with zinc) namely BRRI dhan- 62,
BRRI dhan 64 have been released. Rice has a
zinc content of 20 to 22 mg/kg and this is

Box 4: Rice bio-fortification
The country’s first bio-fortified rice varieties have a
zinc content that is 30% higher than local varieties.
The new rice matures faster than some traditional
varieties and contains the zinc in the endosperm
rather the outer periphery of the grain, which is
usually lost to the consumer when rice is polished.
The capacity to scale up high-zinc rice has still to be
demonstrated, but if widely planted and consumed
in poor households, it could contribute significantly
to meeting zinc requirements in Bangladesh, where
the poor consume large amounts of rice daily and
often sacrifice the consumption of other more
nutrient-rich foods. When combined with
interventions that promote dietary diversification,
commercial fortification through food processing
and targeted supplementation to specific
population groups, widely produced, biofortifed
crops can contribute to resolving nutrient
deficiencies at a significant scale.

capable to fighting diarrhea and pneumonia-induced childhood deaths and stunting.
International Potato Centre adapted and developed orange fleshed sweet potato locally
called “Komola Sunduri”. Both leaves and roots provide vitamin A that promotes growth and
provides immunity to fight against disease. Bio-fortification needs to be supported within
the broader context of promoting a healthy food base for improved nutrition (Box 4).
Conduct new national nutrition survey
The Institute of Nutrition and Food Science (INFS) of the University of Dhaka had carried out
national nutrition surveys in 1974-75, 1981-82 and 1995-96. The last national nutrition
survey was carried out by INFS, sponsored by Bangladesh National Nutrition Council in 1995-
96. Over 20 years have since passed, and no updated dietary and nutrient intake data is
available in the country. The Household Income and Expenditures Survey (HIES) does not
provide individual food and nutrient consumption data for different age groups. Given the
proven value of diet and nutrient intake evidence base to inform food security, nutrition and
health policy and programming, there is need for conducting a national nutrition survey at
the soonest.

4. Availability: progress towards CIP and NFP PoA outputs
The Availability dimension is discussed in CIP programmes 1 to 5. Areas of analysis include:
sustainable and diversified agriculture, improved water management, input production and
soil fertility, fisheries, and livestock. These programmes correspond to eight AoIs of NFP
PoA. Outlines of CIP and NFP PoA interventions are provided below under each programme.
4.1. Programme 1: Sustainable and diversified agriculture through integrated research and
extension
Programme 1 of the CIP focuses on promoting intensification, diversification and resilience
to climate change of crop production through the generation and propagation of
sustainable technologies. It covers the investments needed to operationalise the NFP PoA
AoI 1.1 on research and extension activities and AoI 1.4 on Agricultural Diversification for
crops, and is also relevant for the implementation of the PoA AoI 1.9 on developing early
warning systems and AoI 2.1 on agricultural disaster management.

Release of new rice varieties increased in early 2013/14
In 2013/14, a total of eight new rice varieties were released (Table 7). In August 2013,
Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) released four rice varieties including the saline
tolerant BRRI dhan 61, and BRRI dhan 62, a short duration (harvestable within 100 days),
high zinc rice variety, capable of reducing micronutrients deficiency, diarrhoea and
pneumonia-induced childhood morbidity and in turn related child stunting and deaths. Both
are boro season varieties. In the first half of FY2013/14, Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear
Agriculture (BINA) released four new rice varieties: three for aman season, namely
Binadhan-11 (early maturing), Binadhan-12 (submergence tolerant), Binadhan-13 (fine
aromatic) rice variety; and one for boro season namely Binadhan-14 (a late transplanting
potential, high yielding rice variety)71
.
BADC has conducted operations for multiplication of saline-tolerant seeds, which
contributed to accelerate the production in the south. As of August 2013, BRRI released 61
inbred and 4 hybrid rice varieties72
. While farmers still grow a larger number of rice varieties,
three BRRI varieties were largely adopted. BRRI Dhan 28 and 29 gained popularity, reaching
about 60% of rice area in boro season, while BR11 was the most adopted variety in aman
season, covering about 27% of rice area73
. Thirteen rice varieties have so far been released
by BINA, of which seven are for aman season and the other six for boro season. Some of the
new rice varieties are expected to contribute to enhance resilience and facilitate adaptation
to climate change.
According to the Seed Certification Agency (SCA), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute
(BARI) developed seven new varieties in 2013/14: one of edible oilseeds, five of fruits and
one potato variety. SCA also reported an active involvement of the private sector which
developed 86 and 13 new varieties of vegetables and fruits, respectively over the same
period. Moreover, 144 varieties are under the process of being released as advanced line
varieties74
. As of November 2014, BARI decided to expand the distribution of Bt brinjal75
,
GM crop released in December 2013, with the trait of less pesticides intensive and suitable
for commercial cultivation. Moreover, BINA released one new variety of pulses, and three
new varieties of edible oilseeds over the same period.
In 2013/14, overall a slightly lower number of new non-rice varieties were released
compared to the previous year (from 20 to 22 new rice varieties): notably, release of new
potato varieties drastically reduced (from 12 to 1), while that of edible oilseeds and fruits
both increased (respectively from 0 to 5 and from 5 to 9). In addition to the National
Agricultural Research System (NARS) institutes, other institutions such as the Bangladesh
Agricultural University and BRAC continued contributing to developing crop varieties76
.

An inbred rice variety is the result of a cross between two or more different varieties and subsequent selection through several cycles of
self-pollination or inbreeding. Normally, each rice flower contains both male and female organs. This allows the plant to reproduce itself
through self-pollination or inbreeding. A hybrid is the product of a cross between two genetically distinct rice parents. When the right
parents are selected, the hybrid will have both greater vigour and yield than either of the parents. 73

Bt brinjal varieties produce Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) derived proteins that are toxic to brinjal fruit and shoot borer (BFSB) but safe for
the environment and human and animal consumption. The four Bt brinjal varieties developed by BARI are Bt Brinjal-1, 2, 3 and 4. 76
As of 2010, BRAC released six hybrid rice, three hybrid maize and eight vegetable varieties for commercial cultivation. Out of the three
hybrid maize, one is high quality protein maize.

Number of farmers trained increased for two consecutive years
In Bangladesh, GoB agencies, NGOs, commercial traders and input suppliers represent
extension services providers. The Department of Agriculture Extension (DAE), through
officers and sub-assistant agricultural officers (SAAOs) at upazila level, delivers training and
services to farmers nationwide77
. The number of farmers trained by DAE increased slightly in
2013/14 to 1,295,652, from 1,283,000 in
2012/13 (Table 7). During the last three
years, more than 2.5 million farmers
received training from more than 14
thousand extension workers, 15% of
which were women.
Productivity increased while area
planted continued its slow decline
In 2013/14, the share of rice area in
total cropped area further declined to
74.8% from 76% in the previous year,
falling for the third consecutive year
below the level recorded in 2008/09
(Figure 14). Improved yields (2.3%)
compared to last year (1.7%) contribute to explain the increased level of rice production
(1.6%). However, the share of land cultivated with High Yielding Variety (HYV), which
includes hybrid variety, dropped, for the first time over 2000s, to 78.4% in 2013/14 down
from 82.8% in 2012/13 (Figure 15). The decrease has taken place while the share of hybrid
rice to total boro rice increased to 13.3% in 2013/14 up from 12.8% in 2012/13 - still well
below the 17.2% registered in 2007/08
(Figure 15) - mainly due to reduction in
area of local rice variety with HYV
remaining unchanged.
Production increased marginally for rice
and wheat and sharply for maize
In 2013/14, rice production increased
(1.6%) after slightly dropping (0.2%) in
the previous year, for the first time since
2005/06. While wheat production
registered a modest increase (3.8%)
compared to the previous year (26%),
maize production accelerated
substantially (40.5%) against the
2012/13 sustained production growth (14%) (Table 7). The excellent performance of the
maize sector benefitted from favourable weather conditions and timely supply of seeds and
fertilizers. Higher prices before planting, sustained by feedstock demand from livestock,
poultry and fishery sectors, incentivized farmers to increase land cultivated under maize
(37%). Potato production rose by 4%, but decreased from 4.8% registered over the previous
year, with the increase in yield (3.3%) and in cropped area (4%) largely accounting for the
77

observed growth. In 2013/14, pulses and oilseeds production growth rates registered
opposite results of -40.7% and 16.1%, respectively from 11% and from 5% of the previous
year. Fruit production registered an overall encouraging trend with the positive results
obtained in producing mango (3.7%), pineapple (6.6%) and jackfruit (5%).
The production growth rate of rice, wheat, pulses, brinjal
and edible oilseeds accelerated after the start of
implementation of the PoA, in the beginning of the period
just after the food price crisis, while it decelerated for other
crops, including maize, mango and pineapple. Wheat and
brinjal production growth rebounded from declining trends
(Table 8). Overall, since the start of the implementation of
the PoA, the acreage growth rate of rice, wheat, oilseeds
and jute increased, while that of maize, spices and
vegetables reduced (Table 9).
Continued diversification in crop and agricultural
production
In the wake of 2007/08 food price crisis, as GoB priority was
rice self-sufficiency, crop
diversification had been
hindered by the
increasing use of land to
produce rice and other
key staples such as
wheat and oilseeds.
Consequently, the
acreage growth rate of those key staples increased,
while that of other crops, such as potato, reduced
(Table 9).
The share of rice area in total cropped
area dropped year-on-year in
2013/14, and continuously since
2009/10, giving space for the increase
in share of all other crops, except for
jute and fruits78
. A similar trend is
observed in terms of overall
agricultural diversification, which seems to have continued to slightly improve in 2013/14:
the share of crop on total agricultural value year-on-year fell by 0.8 percentage points, with
78
Share of wheat, maize, oilseeds, pulses, potato areas in total cropped area rose by 0.42, 0.30, 0.14, 0.11, 0.12 percentage points in
2012/13 over 2011/12.

rising shares of fishery (0.8 percentage points) and the livestock sector stable (-0.1
percentage points). The trend in both cropped area and sector-specific agricultural GDP
suggests that agricultural diversification is proceeding although at a slow pace.
In the wake of the 2007/08 food price crises, the growth of the crop sectors gained
momentum compared to livestock and fishery (Figure 16). However, since 2009/10, while
fishery sector constantly increased, livestock sector remained stagnant. Overall, this trend
suggests that although agricultural diversification did not improve in the post-PoA period,
there is a sign of improvement in the last fiscal year, especially in the direction of fishery
sector.
4.1.2. Policy developments/programmes underway and needs for further action
Programme 1 of the CIP channelled 797 million USD representing 6.3% of total CIP budget of
2013/14 of which 669 million USD is already financed (60% by GoB and 40% by DPs), as of
June 2014. Total budget allocation for programme 1 decreased by 0.9% over the previous
year, mainly due to augmented budget for ongoing projects. It consists of three sub-
programmes with a total of 31 concluded, 62 ongoing and 22 pipeline projects. Under sub-
programme 1.3, accounting for investments on agricultural systems to adapt to climate
change, 14 and 6 are respectively the number of ongoing and pipeline projects, for a total of
268 and 88 million USD allocated. Sub-programme 1.1 and 1.2 financed respectively 177 and
224 million USD, with a pipeline of 31 and 10 million USD, respectively. In 2013/14, budget
delivery for programme 1 decreased by 3.4% to 115 million USD, from 119 million USD in
2012/13 and increased by 121% from 52 million USD in 2010/11 (first year of CIP
implementation). As of June 2014, cumulative delivery for programme 1 was 355 million
USD, which represents 53% of the programme’s financed budget.
Improve sustainable agricultural research
The GoB development budget for research institutes under the National Agricultural
Research System (NARS)79
increased by 29%, up from 2.4 billion taka in 2012/13 to 3.2
79
NARS consists of its apex body the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council (BARC) and 10 agricultural research institutes, within four
ministries: i) in the MoA - Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI), Bangladesh Jute
Research Institute (BJRI), Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA), Bangladesh Sericulture Research and training institution
(BSRTI) and Bangladesh Sugarcane Research Institute (BSRI), Bangladesh Cotton Development Board (BCDB); in the MoFL - Bangladesh
Livestock Research Institute (BLRI), Bangladesh Fishery Research Institute (BFRI), Soil Resource Development Institute (SRDI); in the MoEF
– Bangladesh Forest Research Institute (BFoRI); in the Ministry of Commerce – Bangladesh Tea Research Institute (BTRI). For BTRI and
BSRTI financial data were not available.

billion taka in 2013/14, with its share in the National Budget increasing from 0.4% to 0.5%,
over the same period (Figure 17). Notably, development budget increased largely for BFRI
(+83%), SRDI (+72%), BARC (+57%), BLRI (+53%), BINA (+33%), BARI (+32%), and BFRI (+16%),
while reduced for BJRI (-23%), BSRI (-17%), and BRRI (-15%).
According to the NAP 2013, NARS should give priority to the following areas: soil and agro-
ecological zone; development and application of fertilizers for soil quality environment and
health preservation; location-specific suitability and profitability of specific crops and
cropping patterns; marketing, trade and price trends of different crops; preservation of
existing biodiversity; crop processing and preservation; crop varieties and technologies
suitable to cope with the adverse effects of climate change, in drought and flooded
conditions; short term, salt tolerant, submergence tolerant, drought tolerant, disease and
pest resistant, aromatic, hybrid varieties; and crop diversification, focusing on varieties with
high iron, zinc and vitamin A, to improve nutrition.
Empirical evidence shows that
investing in research and extension is
amongst the major factors having a
strong, positive correlation with Total
Factor Productivity (TFP) growth, a
proxy for technological change and
dynamism80
. It is therefore pivotal
investing on agricultural research to
bridge yield gap, promote
diversification and ensure coordination
and synergy among different research
organizations. Research and extension
on women involvement in agriculture,
demonstrate positive implications for
nutrition (Box 5).
Demand-led agricultural extension
services
The Department of Agriculture
Extension (DAE) represents the main
extension service providers serving
farmers with a total of 14,092
extension workers (SAAO) and 3,064
officers. Notably, they are largely
dependent on projects funds which
seem to trigger duplication of efforts in
some areas of interventions while
others remain overlooked.
Furthermore, projects’ objectives may
not be entirely in line with the needs of beneficiaries, if defined within a top-down
approach81
. Moreover, while DAE has a network reaching the village level, DoF and DLS only

Box 5: Gender oriented research for nutrition sensitive
agriculture
Research include the following:
• Women empowerment in agriculture is positively
correlated with households energy availability and
dietary diversity in Bangladesh;
• Increasing women’s empowerment in Bangladesh (in
particular group membership) increases technical
efficiency not only of their farms but of all plots
cultivated by the household;
• The biggest gap in empowerment were lack of credit,
high workload, and low group membership;
• Dairy value chains with gender component have the
potential to build women’s assets and to increase
women’s decision-making over areas related to value
chain participation;
• While assets transferred to ultra-poor women may
remain under their control, predictions on control over
income and other assets’ ownership within the
household are difficult. Many of the gains to asset
transfer programs may be through improved social status
within the community;
• Men’s and women’s assets are not equally affected
by climatic and other shocks, with weather shocks
generally affecting husbands’ assets, and negative non-
weather shocks affecting both men’s and women’s
assets.
• Sale of livestock is commonly used as a coping
mechanism, but assets needed for generating income
(such as land, husbands’ vehicles and agricultural assets)
are generally protected.

operates at upazila level. Lack of staff and sometimes limited outreach of public extension
departments could be compensated by strengthening the integration with extension
services provided by the private sector and the civil society. From this perspective, the
Farmers’ Information and Advice Centres (FIAC) housed at UP complex worked as a
reference one stop service. As of November 2014, 732 FIAC - to provide service for crops,
fishery and livestock - and 13,450 Common Interest Groups (CIGs) - to facilitate producers’
organization - have been created under the National Agricultural Technology Project (NATP).
Extension services need to increasingly focus on skill gaps, promote diversification for
dietary diversity, volume and value addition for agricultural commodities, and income
generation activities. For instance, over the last three years, DAE trained more than 36,000
women in income generation activities based on mushroom cultivation.
Agricultural universities, large NGOs (such as BRAC, CARE Bangladesh, and World Vision) as
well as private companies also provide extension and advisory services. As of August 2014,
12 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and two seed producer associations, with 250
small- and medium-scale affiliates, are involved in zinc enriched rice seed production and
delivery. Breeder seed production started in the 2013/14 Boro season. During 2013/14,
1,000 farm demonstrations and distribution of mini-kits (seed packets) were facilitated by
the HarvestPlus initiative82
. This should allow farmers to evaluate the adaptability of zinc-
enriched rice varieties under their own production conditions. Moreover, to stimulate
demand for zinc-enriched varieties, training of rice marketing and sale stakeholders is also
provided. According to HarvestPlus initiative, by 2016, an estimated 500,000 households will
be reached with zinc enriched rice through commercialized seed sales. The long-term
objective is to develop sustainable markets for zinc enriched rice seed and grain, targeting a
3% rice market share by 201883
.
Needs for further action in this area include:
� Sustain nutrition oriented agricultural research: While agricultural production has
made remarkable progress, more need to be done to develop nutrition sensitive
agricultural production. Emphasis should be given to carry out nutrition-oriented
agricultural research in order to address this gap. The ‘Agriculture for Nutrition and
Health’ (ANH) initiative aims to maximize health and nutrition benefits and to reduce
health risks by adapting and redesigning current agricultural practices and policies. In
order to achieve this goal, ANH brings together research and development
professionals across the agriculture, nutrition, and health sectors to jointly tackle key
challenges and design joint solutions. A4NH has four drivers: value chains for
enhanced nutrition; bio-fortification; prevention and control of agriculture-
associated diseases; and integrated agriculture, nutrition, and health programmes
and policies. In Bangladesh, agricultural research priority is to develop new varieties
of nutrient enriched crops and crop varieties with high content of iron, zinc and
vitamin A and to support integrated and diversified agriculture.
� Improve the Agricultural Research Management Information System (ARMIS):
ARMIS is a data management system developed by BARC which contains information
on research of NARS institutes, 12 Universities, Extension Service providers and, DAE,
82
HarvestPlus is part of the CGIAR Research Programmeon Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH). This initiative works closely with
key Government agencies such as the Seed Wing of the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), BRRI and its SeedNet, DAE, and BADC. Other
partners include University of California-Davis and the International Centre for Diarrheal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR,B). 83
HarvestPlus (2014). Biofortification Progress Briefs, p. 61, August 2014.
40
DoF, DLS and Foundations (e.g. Grameen Krishi Foundation and Hortex Foundation),
NGOs and other institutions. While ARMIS contains an impressive amount of
information it would be useful to fill some data gaps and to improve its website, for
instance by adding user-friendly features.
� Facilitate ‘vertical’ integration between agricultural research, universities, and
extension service providers: The ultimate objective of this process is to translate
research methods and outputs into viable technological adoption. Research needs to
focus on development and improvement of stress tolerant and short duration
varieties and farming practices; agricultural machineries and post harvest
technologies to enhance handling and marketing especially of high value crops;
sustainable and efficient use of land and water resources; crop diversification and
management in adverse environment and for climate change adaptation. Public-
private partnership research may be carried out, for example, between NARS
institutes and local seed companies or NGOs like BRAC, as well as between NARS
institutes and international agriculture research centres e.g. CGIAR.
� Establish ‘horizontal’ integration between extension service providers to support
demand-led technological transfers: Public extension systems have different levels
of penetration – with DAE network reaching the village level, while DoF and DLS only
operating at upazila level. Lack of staff and limited outreach of public extension
departments could be compensated by strengthening the integration with extension
services provided by the private sector and civil society. It is therefore essential to
build on the positive experience of NATP through FIACs and CIGs, to empower
producers’ organization, to improve their participation in planning, implementation
and monitoring of extension and, to make the public service more responsive to
their needs84
. A potential challenge is the sustainability of the system at the end of
NATP project.
� Mainstream the use of modern information and communication technology (ICT):
Another way to compensate for limited outreach and lack of staff is the use of ICT.
Several ‘e-Agriculture’ initiatives are underway and need to be mainstreamed. For
instance, e-Khishok is an initiative established between DAE and the Bangladesh
Institute of ICT in Development (BIID) aimed to provide ICT service to farmers
through a number of local centre/telecentres. The service provided includes the use
of SMS/call back services. General mobile-based text messages and voice messages
may be used for early warning on pest and disease outbreak, natural disasters as
well as to disseminate critical information.
� Establish a database of extension projects: Digitized databases and management
information systems may be set up at upazila, district and national levels with the
objective of helping M&E activities on the relevance and coherence of extension
service implementation. Synergies with ARMIS might also be exploited.

4.2. Programme 2: Improved water management and infrastructure for irrigation
purposes
Programme 2 aims at ensuring sustainable and efficient water management to address
farmers’ need. The programme covers the investments required under the NFP PoA 1.2 to
increase irrigation coverage, improve delivery and ensure efficient use of safe irrigation
water, reduce dependency on groundwater use and reduce cost of irrigation. It is articulated
in four sub-programmes to: (1) improve water management and water distribution system
at farm level, (2) improve and increase efficiency of surface water irrigation particularly in
the south, (3) reduce impacts of saline water intrusion in the south, and (4) enhance river
flow to the south.

Irrigation coverage kept increasing
In 2013/14, the share of irrigated area to total cropped area increased by 0.8 percentage
points to 48.2% from 47.4% in 2012/13. Notwithstanding the increasing trend over the
reference period, from the initial 44.2% in 2007/08, the incremental irrigation coverage has
been rather slow, only 4 percentage points over six years (Table 10). This indicates that
there is scope to increase production
through expansion of irrigation.
Share of surface water irrigation area
remained almost unchanged
Overall, the share of surface water
irrigation area to total cropped area has
been falling, although at decreasing
rate, over the reference period (Figure
18). In 2013/14, for the first time since
2007/08, the share of surface water
irrigation area remained unchanged at
around 21% compared to the previous
year. While this is a positive sign, it is

Box 6: Groundwater drought: A critical concern for
Bangladesh
The ground water (GW) dependent irrigation system
in the Barind area has reached a critical phase as the
GW level has dropped below the depth of the
shallow tube wells in many places. The recently
published GW zoning map indicates that a record of
60% irrigated croplands in Naogaon district have
become critical for shallow tube well operation. The
overexploitation has caused the GW level to fall to
the extent of not getting fully replenished by the
rainfall recharge. If this over-utilization of the Barind
aquifer continues, it may result in its exhaustion after
few years which may have a negative impact on the
agriculture-based economy of the country.

not sufficient to reverse the increasing dependency on groundwater resources for irrigation
purpose (Table 10).
Groundwater table continued deepening
Over the last 30 years, change in average
yearly water table in the northern districts
fluctuated, over a markedly decreasing
trend (Figure 19). This long-term declining
trend is the result of higher average
extraction rate (53 billion cubic meters per
year) compared to recharge rate (50
billion cubic meters per year). This trend
poses a substantial threat to the future
agricultural development, especially in the
northern districts. Groundwater depletion
could dry up shallow tube wells and may
lead to saltwater intrusion85
.
In 2014, water table depth substantially
increased up to 8 meter from 6.1 meter in
2013 (Figure 19), and consequently determined a three-year average change of 48 cm/year
(2012-14), against -34.2 and -11.7 cm/year, respectively registered in 2010-12 and 2011-13
(Table 10). These positive results were registered in 2011 and 2012, which were exceptional
years because recharging capacity of
aquifers surpassed extraction rate,
leading to a reduction in groundwater
depth. This impacted on the 20-year
average change, which reached 14.6
cm/year (1995-2014) against 7.3 (1994-
2013) and 5.5 cm/year (1993-2012)
(Table 10). The deepening of GW table
in the northern districts are believed to
be caused by low inflow from the
upstream rivers, dry-up of wetlands and
rivers, siltation and raised riverbeds,
stemming from damming of rivers, low
rainfall and short monsoon.
Share of irrigation to boro production cost reduced
The share of irrigation to total boro production cost reduced over the period 2007/08-
2013/14. It decreased to 13% in 2013/14 from 14.6% in 2012/13 representing the only year
in which the share rebounded (Table 10). The increasing usage of solar power, pipes, Axian-
flow pump and sprinkle irrigation might have contributed to the reduction of irrigation cost.
Further reduction can be achieved by continuous investments on efficient irrigation
systems.

4.2.2 Policy developments/programme underway and needs for further action
Programme 2 of the CIP channelled 2,679 million USD in 2013/14, 21.2% of the total CIP
budget, of which 1,891 million USD is already financed (78% and 22% respectively from GoB
and DPs), as of June 2014. Total budget allocation for programme 2 increased by 8.2% over
the previous year, due to increased financed budget. It consists of four sub-programmes
with a total of 22 concluded, 40 ongoing and 20 pipeline projects. Under sub-programme
2.2, on improve and increase efficiency of surface water irrigation, 14, 18 and 14 are
respectively the number of completed, ongoing and pipeline projects, for a total of 130, 516
and 595 million USD allocated. Sub-programme 2.1, 2.3 and 2.4 financed respectively 327,
189 and 729 million USD. In 2013/14 budget delivery for programme 2 decreased by 2% to
225 million USD from 230 million USD in 2012/13 and increased by 46% from 154 million
USD in 2010/11 (first year of CIP implementation). As of June 2014, cumulative delivery for
programme 2 was 758 million USD, which represents 40% of the programme’s financed
budget.
The National Agricultural Policy (2013) suggests to increase surface water utilization and to
reduce the use of groundwater for irrigation purpose. This change could both contribute to
environmental preservation and water use sustainability, provide alternative to arsenic
contamination of ground water and reduce irrigation costs. To attain these outcomes, steps
to be taken on the supply side include: i) setting up a Management Information System, e.g.
with data on groundwater, surface water, sea water levels, and salinity levels, especially in
coastal areas, to improve overall water management and planning; ii) control capture,
storage, conveyance and distribution of surface water, to improve coordination among
users and institution involved in water and integrated-water management, and increase
efficiency of surface water usage.
Accordingly, the National River Protection Commission (NRPC) Act 2013, established a
Commission to advise the Government and coordinate partner ministries on river water
management with the aim of protecting river and other water bodies from illegal
encroachment, pollution, and inappropriate usage.
The broad objective of the 20-year Master Plan of the Haor Development Board 2012 is to
achieve sustainable development of haor areas by integrated planning and implementation
through multi organizational involvement and community participation for optimum
utilization of resources and reduction of poverty.
Needs for further action in this area include:
� Ensure sustainable use of groundwater: While before the 1970s, Bangladesh’s
agriculture was entirely dependent on surface water and monsoon rainfall86
,
currently, 79.1% of irrigated land in boro season utilizes underground source87
.
Moreover, about 82% of Dhaka city's water supply is abstracted from groundwater
through 577 deep tube wells; four relatively small surface water treatment plants
provide the remaining 18%88
. City groundwater levels are consequently declining at
two to three meters every year and city’s water table has sunk by 50 meters in the

past four decades89
. Unless appropriate measures are taken, groundwater depletion
is likely to further increase due to growing water demand exacerbated by the
negative impact of climate change, such as increasing temperature and prolonged
more severe droughts. In particular, managed aquifer recharge techniques to
enhance groundwater recharge should be promoted nationwide; and harvesting of
surface and rainwater should be supported, especially through excavation of existing
canals, ponds, khals and waterbodies.
� Improve irrigation efficiency and water productivity: Tested irrigation technologies
practiced in south Asia provide evidences of efficiency and water productivity. Some
of these technologies are drip and sprinkler system (pressurized irrigation system)
and laser land levelling (precision land levelling). Drip and sprinkler irrigation systems
are much more water-efficient than conventional basin irrigation practices. They
have a conveyance efficiency of 100% and an application efficiency of 70-90%, while
the corresponding figures for basin irrigation are 40-70% and 60-70%, respectively90
.
Farm trials in the Indian state of Bihar found that laser levelling reduced water use
by up to 40% and increased application efficiency by up to 50%. It cuts time for
irrigation by half, labor requirement by 35%, increases irrigated area by 2% and
yields by 20-25%91
. Axial flow pump, whose usage has recently increased, represents
another irrigation technology which is more efficient than conventional irrigation
systems. Thus, irrigation technologies should be chosen so that they become
efficient and productive.
� Enhance availability and use of surface water: Water table in the groundwater is
going down at alarming rate in 192 upazilas due to over use of groundwater for
irrigation. The NAP (2013) emphasized conservation and proper use of surface
water by strengthening re-excavation of khals, ponds and other waterbodies to
enhance conservation and utilization of surface water and encourage ground water
recharge through watershed management, rainwater harvesting and establishment
of water reservoirs. Use of surface water in irrigation cuts crop production cost
sharply as it reduces consumption of chemical fertilizer as well as irrigation
expenditure.
� Enrich and update a data bank on water resources: Creating and updating data base
is necessary to monitor ground water level, flood, drainage, salinity, arsenic levels in
the dry and monsoon seasons in Bangladesh. The data base helps better understand
water storage capacity of the soil, ground water level, water level impact on the river
bank area, ground water flow, potential salinization risk, urban ground water quality,
and so on. Water Resources Planning Organization (WARPO) has developed National
Water Resources Database (NWRD). The data contained in NWRD have been
collected from a wide range of sources and agencies; data are also captured from
satellite images, aerial photographs and hardcopy maps. These databases should be
made available to the concerned water resources authority so that pragmatic plans
can be made.

� Use arsenic free groundwater for irrigation and domestic purposes: Arsenic
contamination of groundwater in Bangladesh threatens the health of up to 30
million people. Level of arsenic in drinking water is so high that WHO describes
arsenic contamination of Bangladesh’s water supply as “the largest poisoning of a
population in history”92
. People may be exposed to arsenic not only through drinking
water, but indirectly by consuming food crops irrigated by contaminated water93
.
Since rice is the region’s staple food, arsenic contamination could also negatively
impact food security if concentrations reach toxic levels. Arsenic was found as high
as 80 mg per kg of soil in an arsenic contaminated area in the presence of arsenic
contaminated irrigation water94
. It is therefore necessary to avoid using arsenic
contaminated water for irrigating crops.
� Develop effective flood control and river erosion measures: Most of the flood
control embankments experienced breaching since their completion. Their
effectiveness in reducing the impacts of flooding on the natural environment,
economic activities, and private property is therefore undermined. Solutions to
flooding problems require an understanding of the long-term factors that contribute
to increased floods, which include: unplanned urbanization, soil erosion, local
relative sea-level rise, inadequate sediment accumulation, subsidence and
compaction of land, riverbed aggradation, and deforestation. To mitigate flooding
propensity in Bangladesh, both the Government and the private sector need to
adopt watershed-scale best management practices (BMPs) designed to: (a) reduce
the run-off, (b) increase the carrying capacity of drainage system, and (c) increase
land elevations. Proposed BMPs are: floodplain zoning, planned urbanization,
restoration of abundant channels, dredging of rivers and streams, increased
elevations of roads and village platforms, building efficient storm sewer systems,
establishing buffer zones along rivers, conservation tillage, controlled runoff near
construction sites, adjustment of life-style and crop patterns, good governance and
improving flood warning/preparedness systems.
� Reduce salinity in coastal areas: Coastal areas constitute 20% of the country of
which 53% are affected by different degrees of salinity. Agricultural land use in these
areas is very poor. Declining land productivity with shift towards negative nutrient
balance is among the main concerns with the food security problem in the country95
.
Between 1973 and 2009, the salinity prone areas increased from 0.83 million ha in
1973, to 1.02 millon ha in 2000 and to 1.06 million ha in 200996,97
. This indicates that
soil salinity has increased by 26.7% during the last 36 years (1973-2009). Protective
embankment, provision of sluice gate on the embankment, land levelling, use of
rainwater storage facilities, selection of kharif rice variety, keeping land covered in
winter and summer months and provision of sub-surface drainage are some of the
measures for tackling soil salinity and for preserving agricultural land.

4.3. Programme 3: Improved quality of input and soil fertility
Porgramme 3 aims at improving the availability of and access to quality inputs and soil
fertility. It comprises 4 sub-programmes namely (1) enhancing the availability of agricultural
inputs that is tested and certified for quality, (2) developing public-private partnerships
through capacity development; (3) enhancing and improving sustainability of soil fertility
management; and (4) facilitating access to credit and other financial services for small
holders and the poor. The programme is in line with the supply and sustainable use of
agricultural inputs, agricultural credit and other productive inputs.
4.3.1 Progress towards achievement
Production and supply of cereal seeds declined, while that of vegetables increased
In 2009/10, improved rice, wheat and maize seeds production registered a bumper increase
by 127.7% compared to the previous year. Thereafter, increase in annual cereal seed
production decelerated to 12.9% in 2011/12. Seed production and supply declined by 15.7%
in 2012/13, and by 33.1% in 2013/14 (Table 11).

In 2013/14, supply of improved rice seeds reduced to 33% of agronomic requirements from
52% in 2012/13. Wheat seed supply slightly reduced to 55% of its agronomic requirements
from 57%, over the same period. A severe decline is noticed for maize seed supply: from
74% to 28% of agronomic requirements, over the period 2012/13 – 2013/14. Looking at
seed supply for non-cereal crops, while that of vegetables increased by 8 percentage points
to 28% of agronomic requirements, seed supply of potato, pulses and edible oilseeds
declined over the same period. Attainments of potato, pulses and edible oilseeds in 2013/14
reduced to 6%, 8% and 5% of their agronomic requirements from 10%, 15% and 14%
respectively. The trend indicates that none of the crop seed supplies could meet their
agronomic requirements.
Supply of Urea, TSP and MP kept improving
Supply of all key fertilizers increased during the last three consecutive years, except for MP
in 2012/13. In 2013/14, urea supply increased to 93% of its estimated requirements, from
89% in 2012/13. TSP estimated requirements slightly exceeded (101%) in 2013/14, 7
percentage points from the previous year. MP supply in 2013/14 was 72% of its estimated
requirements showing a 6.5 percentage points increase compared to 2012/13 (Table 11).
Higher yields realised for most crops in 2013/14
Average yields of almost all the crops, except wheat and mango, improved over the period
2012/13 – 2013/14. On one hand, while change in yields for rice and oilseeds increased
(2.3% and 3.5% respectively) from the previous year (1.7% and 0.7% respectively), they are
still lower than the change registered in 2007/08, the baseline (3.1% and 4.5% respectively).
Change in yields of potato (3.3%), pulses (9.8%), brinjal (10.4%), pumpkin (4.6%), beans
(4.6%), lal shak (2.1%), banana (4.2%), guava (15.5%), pineapple (1.5%), jackfruit (7.9%)
improved compared to both last year and the baseline (Table 11). On the other hand,
change in crop yields for wheat and mango decreased to respectively 6.3% and -2.9%, from
both the previous year (7.7% and 6.3%, respectively) and the baseline (7.5% and -2.2%,
respectively). Yield levels can be further improved with increased use of quality seeds, point
placement of USG, IPM and quality agro-chemicals, and mechanization.
Agricultural credit disbursement surpassed target
Agricultural credit disbursement increased steadily from 85.8 billion taka in 2007/08 to
160.4 billion taka in 2013/14, and by 9% from 2012/13. Furthermore, it exceeded the target
for both 2013/14 and 2012/13. Qualitative changes in the credit disbursement policy,
increased credit facilities, monitoring credit disbursement by the Bangladesh Bank,
transparent and timely disbursement provision of the Bank, preference to women credit
delivery as well as the inclusion of private banks in credit disbursement and special loan
provision for share croppers were some of the positive factors for the credit disbursement
budget in 2013/1498
.
4.3.2 Policy developments/programme underway and needs for further action
Programme 3 accounts for 3,177 million USD representing 25% of total CIP budget, of which
1,087 million USD is already financed (38% by GoB and 62% by DPs), as of June 2014. Total
budget allocation for programme 3 decreased by only 2% over the previous year, reflecting

combined increased in financed budget and reduction in the financial gap. It consists of four
sub-programmes with a total of 19 completed, 13 ongoing and 9 pipeline projects. Sub-
programme 3.1 on enhancing availability and quality of agricultural inputs, channels the bulk
(98%) of financed budget within the programme. It allocated a total of 158, 929 and 2,090
million USD respectively to concluded, ongoing and pipeline projects. In 2013/14, budget
delivery for programme 3 increased to 333 million USD from 223 million USD in 2012/13 and
from 55 million USD in 2010/11, the first year of CIP implementation. As of June 2014,
cumulative delivery for programme 3 was 727 million USD, which is 67% of the programme’s
financed budget.
Cost of subsidies on fertilizers declined
Subsidy to fertilizers constitutes a big
financial burden for the Government: its
share in the national budget increased
from 4.1% to 5.3% over the period
2007/08 – 2012/13, while reduced to
3.9% in 2013/14. Urea absorbs the
largest share of fertilizers’ subsidy which
has been reducing from 2007/08 to
2011/12, while rebounded in the two
following years (Figure 20). Urea subsidy
requirements ranged from 20 to 48
billion taka over the period 2007/08 –
2013/14. The trend in fertilizers’ subsidy
has been constantly increasing (except in 2009/10) from 35 to 119 billion taka, over the
period 2007/08 – 2012/13. This sharp increase in subsidy was mainly due to increase in
international fertilizer price vis-à-vis the much less variable domestic prices, with the
difference covered by public finance. In 2013/14, however, subsidy to fertilizers reduced by
28% to 86 billion taka over the previous year due to lower international prices (Table 12).

Urea price declined while other fertilizers’ price remained unchanged
Urea prices declined from Taka 20 per kg to Tk 16 per kg in 2013/14, a reduction of Taka 4
per kg. TSP, MP and DAP prices remained unchanged (except MP price in 2011/12) over the
last four years. Sales of urea, TSP and MP declined by 83, 29 and 152 million MT
respectively, while DAP sales increased by 118 thousand MT over the period 2011/12 –
2013/14 (Table 13).

Non-cereal seed supply improved
Some improvement in the non-cereal seed supply by the private sector has taken place in
2013/14. There was no private supply of wheat and pulse seeds in 2012/13 whereas private
entities had a good stake in 2013/14 (Table 14). Of the total seed distribution, public
contribution constituted 99.4% for HYV wheat, 98.4% for pulses, 93% for oilseeds and 72.2%
for potato. On the other hand, distribution was dominated by private entities for crops like
maize and vegetables. The households themselves contributed the lion’s share of total
unmet seed supply of public and private entities, which ranged from 24% to 94%. The
quality of own seed (saved from previous harvest) is likely to be low even though affordable
for many small farmers.

Needs for further action in this area include:
� Produce more quality seed and improve distribution: Agricultural production can be
increased by 15 to 20% through use of quality seed, keeping other things constant.
The legal and regulatory framework for seed is currently provided by (i) the National
Seed Policy (NSP), 1993; (ii) the Seed Ordinance, 1977 (Amendments in 1997 and
2005); and (iii) the Seed Rules, 1998. The Plant Quarantine Regulation is considered
as part of the regulatory framework as it also affects the seed sector. The Plant
Variety and Farmers’ Rights Protection Act, 2009, and the proposed National Plant
Genetic Resources Institute (NPGRI) are also critical components of plant breeding
and the seed system in Bangladesh.
The National Seed Policy (NSP) of 1993 and Seed Rules of 1998 paved the way for
active participation of the private sector and Non-Governmental Organizations
(NGOs) in seed production. The intension of the NSP was gradually to rationalize and
decentralize the national seed sector and attract private investment in the seed
sector. Given the new policy framework, the Government of Bangladesh (GOB)
provided a conducive environment (policy, institutions and infrastructure) for
investments and initiatives in the private seed sector. The increased participation of
50
private -sector actors in seed production is also a result of several donor-driven
Government projects. Numerous NGOs and private companies (BRAC, Lal Teer,
Syngenta, ACI) are already involved in seed multiplication and markeing. Increased
private-public partnership and greater involvement of NGOs are needed for the
production and dissemination of good quality seeds.
� Reduce nitrogen loss through increased use of USG and reap higher yield: Urea is
the most dominant nitrogen fertilizer being used in Bangladesh. However, broadcast
application of urea causes high losses. To avoid urea nitrogen losses, point
placement of USG has been developed and is being popularized in the country,
particularly in rice production. Study showed that split urea yields 5.7 t/ha in dry
season rice and 4.0 t/ha in wet season rice while deep placement of USG provides
6.2 t/ha and 5.1 t/ha rice99
. USG application provides higher yield in potato as
well100
. Cultivated lands using USG get three times better results than the lands
cultivated by urea sprayed by hands and the traditional methods101
. For reducing
nitrogen losses, increasing yield and reducing cost of urea, broadcasting of urea
application should be replaced by USG applications. DAE should give more emphasis
on expansion and dissemination of USG use.
� Promote IPM and use of quality agrochemicals: Farmers generally use chemical
application against pests and in many cases they do not apply it in appropriate
dosages. Studies indicate that about 20% of agricultural produce potential is lost due
to pest attacks. IPM is intended to reduce ecological and health damage from
chemical pesticides by using natural parasites and predators to control pest
populations. Since chemical pesticides are expensive for poor farmers, IPM offers the
prospect of lower production costs and higher profitability. Research shows that
productivity of IPM rice farming is not significantly different from the productivity of
conventional farming102
. In addition, IPM results in substantial health and ecological
benefits. However, externality problems make it difficult for farmers to adopt IPM
individually. Without collective adoption, neighbours’ continued reliance on
chemicals to kill pests will also destroy helpful parasites and predators. This will also
expose IPM farmers and local ecosystems to chemical spillovers from adjoining
fields. Successful IPM adoption will therefore depend on institutional support for
collective action.
Biological alternatives to pesticide use are generally organic, herbal insecticides that
are nonhazardous and do not decrease soil fertility or the health of the surrounding
areas. Crop rotations or diversification is another practice that involves planting of
different crops after a season, so as to not exhaust the soil nutrients, or to deprive
newly hatched insect pests of their food. Biological control agents that do not harm
the crops or surrounding environment can be used to manage pest populations.

There are some non-biological alternatives as well. Use of nets and small light traps
can capture and prevent pest from reaching crops. The use of pheromones is also
practised in Bangladesh. Such alternative biological and non-biological practices
need to be promoted to gradually reduce the use of harmful agrochemicals103
.
4.4. Programme 4: Fisheries and aquaculture development
Programme 4 seeks to sustainably increase fishery production through four sub
programmes to (1) develop small scale aquaculture, through access to quality inputs, advice
and skills; (2) improve the management of fishery resources; (3) develop public private
partnership in support of infrastructure and services development; and (4) promote
production in southern districts through sustainable shrimp and prawn development and
community based management of wetland. Programme 4 relates to NFP PoA area of
intervention 1.4, which strives to diversify agriculture through production of fish, among
other things.

Contribution of fisheries to agricultural GDP increased marginally
In 2013/14, the share of fisheries value added in agricultural GDP reached 25% which is 0.5
percentage points higher than in 2012/13 and 1.4 percentage points higher than in 2011/12.
This indicates that the share of fisheries increased at a declining rate. During the last five
years fisheries’ contribution to agricultural GDP remained within 22.5% to 25% (Table 15).
Structural change in fishery affecting fish production
Bangladesh fisheries sector has undergone a structural transformation. In the early eighties,
a dominant contributor was inland capture fishery, particularly the rivers and floodplains-
estuaries. This scenario started changing from late eighties and is currently reversed: inland
capture fishery contributes 28%, while inland culture fishery represents 55% of the total fish
production104
. This major change is mainly due to the destruction of fish habitat in the
rivers, resulting from a variety of anthropogenic factors (use of agrochemicals, pesticides

and fertilizer in crops, siltation and rising of riverbeds, river encroachment, construction of
brickfields, and blockage of river flow to cultivate fish). This has gradually encouraged the
culture fishery which has the potential to
positively impact on economic growth
and poverty reduction. To exploit the
potential of fish production, investments
in improving and sustainably exploiting
fish habitats such as rivers, and other
wetland such as haors, baors and beels
are fundamental.
Fish production kept increasing at
declining rate
In 2013/14, fish production increased to
3,548 thousand MT, by 4% over the previous year and by 38% over 2007/08. These figures
compared with 5% registered in 2012/13 and 7% in 2011/12. Fish production kept on
increasing (except for capture), but at a declining rate, over the period 2007/08 – 2013/14
(Figure 21). The largest share (55%) of fish
production is from the inland culture
fishery, which increased by 5% over last
year and by 10% over 2007/08.
Shrimp production accelerated
Shrimp production increased to 240
thousand MT, by 3% over the previous year
and by 7% over 2007/08. In 2013/14, share
of shrimp production from inland capture,
inland culture and marine fishery were
19%, 61% and 20% respectively. Inland
capture, inland culture and marine fishery
productions grew by respectively 3%, 3.6% and 2.9% over the previous year (Figure 22).
Furthermore, while inland capture and marine fishery productions both declined over the
baseline (39% and 10% respectively),
inland culture increased by 54% over the
baseline.
Hilsha production kept increasing
Hilsha is the national fish of Bangladesh
and earns considerable amount of
foreign currency from exports. Its
production increased to 385 thousand
MT by 10% over the previous year and
by 33% over 2007/08. Hilsha is currently
mainly captured from marine sources
(67%) and to a lower extent from rivers
(33%) (Figure 23).

Fingerling production recovered marginally from sharp decline
Fingerling (finfish) production appeared to be very volatile over the period 2007/08 –
2013/14. In 2013/14, it increased marginally (0.1%) over 2012/13 which compares with a
reduction of 10% in 2012/13 and to an increase of 22% in 2011/12 (Table 15).
Status of development of new fish varieties remain unchanged
No new fish variety has been developed since 2009/10. However, although no new variety is
officially reported, BFRI research is contributing to the development of new breeding
techniques for a number of existing fish varieties. Success in the breeding technique of
Parshe, Kunchia and breeding culture technique of crucian carp are significant
achievements105
. BFRI and WorldFish’s joint efforts have succeeded in pioneering the
production of crablets in Bangladesh. The Government has initiated the development of
crab fishery through the approval of a Development Project Proposal (DPP) which will lead
to commercial production of crab in the coastal areas.
Value of fisheries export increased
Fisheries share in total export value
declined from 4% to 2%, over the
reference period 2007/08 – 2012/13. Of
the total fisheries export value, shrimp
share ranged from 66% to 86% over the
period 2007/08 - 2013/14. However,
fisheries export share slightly improved in
2013/14 and reached 2.26% (Table 15).
Fishery export value increased constantly
over the reference period (except in
2012/13), and reached 48 billion taka in
2013/14, by 11% over 2012/13 and by
41% over 2007/08. Exports quantity has been steadily decreasing since 2009/10. They
reached 77 thousand MT in 2013/14, decreased by 9% over the previous year, and
increased by 3% over the baseline (Figure 24).
4.4.2 Policy developments/ programme underway and needs for further action
Programme 4 of the CIP accounts for 442 million USD representing 3.5% of total CIP budget
of 2013/14, of which 305 million USD is already financed (84% by GoB and 16% by DPs), as
of June 2014. Total budget allocation for programme 4 decreased by 7.5% over the previous
year, due to a large reduction in projects’ pipeline. It consists of four sub-programmes with
a total of 5 concluded, 31 ongoing and 13 pipeline projects. Sub-programme 4.2 (improved
management of fisheries resources) receives the largest share of financing (82.6%) under
the programme, for a total of 19, 233 and 90 million USD for completed, ongoing and
pipeline projects. Sub-programme 4.1 (develop small scale acquaculture) is the other most
relevant sub-programme in terms of financing (13.8%), for a total of 6, 36 and 46 million
USD of completed, ongoing and pipeline projects respectively. Sub-programmes 4.3 and 4.4
share the programme’s residual budget (3%).In 2013/14, budget delivery for programme 4

increased by 46% to 54 million USD, from 37 million USD in 2012/13 and from 37 million
USD in 2010/11, the first implementation year. As of June 2014, cumulative delivery for
programme 4 was 163 million USD, which represents 53% of the programme’s financed
budget.
The national aquaculture development strategy and action plan of Bangladesh (2013–2020)
encompass improving the welfare of the resource-poor people depending on the aquatic
resources for livelihood, reducing poverty by stimulating employment and improving
income, conserve or enhance the natural resources on which livelihoods are based, promote
the sustainable development of rural communities, increase export earnings, and contribute
to the resources of the nation and improvement of people’s welfare.
The 'National Shrimp Policy 2014' aims to boost shrimp production and thus raise export
earnings since shrimp plays an important role in the country's economy106
. The main
objectives of this policy include development of the shrimp quality, increasing production,
training and research, biodiversity conservation and specifying cultivation areas.
A number of measures have been taken to manage the open water fisheries resources.
These include: Fisheries Legislations, measures for hilsa Fishery Management, Protection of
Natural Breeding Ground Halda, Provision for Fishers ID Card, Integrated Natural Resource
Management by local users to conserving the biodiversity and livelihoods in the selected
wetlands and floodplains, Fish Habitat Restoration measures, Fish Production and Resource
Conservation Campaign and finalization of draft National Marine Fisheries Policy 2015.
Needs for further action in this area include:
� Enhance pond productivity: Ponds contribute significantly to the production of fish
in Bangladesh. In 2012/13, ponds contributed 78% of the production of inland closed
waterbodies, 51% of production of all inland waterbodies and 42% of all fish
production107
. In 2013/14, pond contribution to fish production is expected to be
higher than the previous year. The Annual Report 2013 of the DoF shows that share
of extensive, semi-intensive, and intensive pond farming practices constituted 4.6%,
45.3% and 50% respectively108
. More than 50% ponds are yet to come under
intensive farming. Increasing production of fish necessitates bringing more ponds
under intensive farming systems.
� Reduce yield gap: Yield gap is very high in Bangladesh. One study showed that
overall yield gap (difference between potential yield and actual yield) among the
different farming intensities is about 54.3%109
. This is another source of production
loss. Pond farming yield in neighbouring countries (such as China, India, Thailand) is
much higher than in Bangladesh. Therefore, reasons for yield losses due to biotic and
abiotic factors (diseases, poor water quality, adverse climate or weather, technical
inefficiency, lack of credit and poor knowledge, inputs unavailability etc.) need to be
identified and remedial measures need to be taken to improve the productivity of
the pond.

� Improve fish habitat for hilsha and other species: Due to various anthropogenic
activities, climate change effects, increased siltation and rising of river basins, the
migratory routes as well as spawning grounds of hilsha are disturbed, displaced or
even destroyed110
. During the last two decades hilsha production from inland waters
(rivers) declined about 20%, whereas marine water production increased about 3
times. Major hilsha has gradually shifted from inland to marine water. Riverine
habitat of hilsha fish is not conducive currently due to which hilsha is migrating
toward marine waters. Strict regulation to control anthropogenic activities can
improve the habitat and restore the heritage of hilsha production in Bangladesh.
Equally important is the restoration of habitat for other species. Measures to
increase the flow of rivers and establish links between rivers, beels and haors need
to be taken to open the migratory routes of fish.
� Develop low cost feed and feed industry: Feed is the main component of the
production, accounting for 80 to 90% of the total production cost. Because of the
inability of the production to expand horizontally, more feed intensive production
practices need to be adopted. In order to enable the farmers to use more feed,
cheap and more effective feed needs to be made available. Research should be
undertaken to inform the production of innovative cheap feed in this regard.
� Explore export potential of Pangas and Tilapia: Pangas and Tilapia fillets are
accepted worldwide; it is therefore important to explore their market potential.
Vietnam is a key player in the World Pangas trade. It had 98% stake in global export
of fillets and fish in 2009111
. Vietnam expects that their pangasius export is going to
range from 1.75 to 1.85 billion USD in 2015112
. In 2014, the USA market was key for
Vietnamese tilapia, importing 1,745 MT valued at 5.24 million USD (4.83 million
euro), and accounting for 18.2% of its exports113
. Bangladesh has tremendous
potential to produce tilapia and pangas. To compete with Vietnam, Bangladeshi
farms have to reduce feed cost and increase productivity of pangas and tilapia.
Therefore, efforts should be made to expand export of pangas and tilapia fillet to
Europe, America and other world markets.
� Development of crab seed hatchery: A joint initiative between the USAID-AIN
project and the Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute (BFRI) in Cox’s Bazar has
been successful for production of crab seed up to the crablets size. This research
needs to be strengthened. Crab hatcheries need to be established to make crab seed
available and reduce wild catch of crablets from Sundarbans. Moreover, the BFRI
Santahar sub-centre started to successfully implement artificial breeding of mud eel
which is a capture species114
. In order to start its seed production, hatchery facilities
need to be established in the near future as well for mud eel.

4.5. Programme 5: Livestock development with focus on poultry and dairy production
Programme 5 aims to sustainably increase livestock production by improving technological
adoption, animal health and resilient management practices. This corresponds to NFP PoA
AoI 1.4 on agricultural diversification, which among others has the objective to boost
livestock production. The programme is divided in four sub-programmes to: (1) strengthen
animal health services, including better diagnosis and surveillance systems to mitigate
disease outbreaks; (2) strengthen husbandry capacity at household level through
community based improved knowledge and advisory services; (3) improve availability and
quality of inputs through public-private partnerships; and (4) conduct research on livestock
development, including genetic improvement.

Livestock share in agricultural GDP remained stable
In 2013/14, the share of livestock value added in agricultural GDP (excluding forestry,
including fishery) was registered at 12.1%, down from 12.3% registered in the previous year
(Table 16). The 3% livestock yearly growth rate compares against 1.9% registered in the crop
sector, and 6.5% in fishery sector. Over the reference period, livestock share in agricultural
GDP followed a slightly decreasing trend from 12.7 registered in 2007/08 (Table 16).
Livestock production increased
The trend in production of livestock
commodities steadily increased over the
reference period (2007/08 – 2013/14).
In particular, between 2012/13 and
2013/14, production of eggs, milk, and
meat registered an encouraging +33.5%,
20.1%, and 39.9%, respectively. The
progress registered in livestock
production represents a positive
response to food consumption
diversification, which is so far mainly
characterized as urban phenomenon. In
order to sustain the progress, it is

necessary to improve the availability of data by establishing a livestock database. The trend
in milk yields in Bangladesh is much lower than those registered in India and Pakistan
(Figure 25). The productivity of common local cow is generally lower for both milk and
meat115
. Cross and selective breeding are required to promote breeds adapted to the local
environment to boost productivity.
Progress in artificial insemination decelerated
Artificial insemination represents one of the most effective techniques to improve livestock
breeds and in turn productivity and profitability of cattle operations. While the production
of semen (both liquid and frozen) has improved in recent years, artificial insemination had a
decreasing trend since 2009/10, with a recent reduction of 4.5 percentage points, down to
2.9% over the period 2012/13 – 2013/14.
Poultry deaths became insignificant
Poultry deaths, due to highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), have been constantly
reducing since 2007/08, and recently reported outbreaks became almost insignificant, with
only two reported outbreaks in 2014. FAO technical support financed by USAID set-up a
system for early detection, diagnosis and response including strengthening of disease
surveillance through a web-based SMS gateway system. This gateway system reduced the
time lag between disease detection and response from 4.5 to 1.5 days116
. This is in addition
to GoB control measures of culling of infected poultry, movement control and
compensation mechanism to reimburse affected poultry farmers. In late 2012/13, the
Government also introduced HPAI experimental vaccination initially in two districts but now
covering nine districts of Bangladesh.
Biogas production
The growing livestock’s waste production threatens the natural environment, for instance
by contaminating fresh water sources. DLS has consequently decided to increase the
national biogas production capacity by installing 500 biogas plants in 2013/14, with the
target expected to increase to 600 plants by 2016/17. DLS has to collaborate and develop
synergies with private actors involved in the biogas sector (Infrastructure Development
Company Limited; Sustainable Energy for Development - SED Programme, supported by the
Bangladesh Ministry of Power, Energy, and Mineral Resources and the German Federal
Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development through the Deutsche Gesellschaft für
Internationale Zusammenarbeit- GIZ).
4.5.2. Policy development /programmes underway and needs for further action
Programme 5 of the CIP accounts for 235 million USD in 2013/14 (2% of the total CIP
budget) of which 135 million USD is financed (64% by GoB and 36% by DPs), as of June 2014.
Total budget allocation for programme 5 decreased by 17.5% over the previous period, due
to a substantial drop in pipeline projects’ budget. It includes 4 sub-programmes with 8
completed, 18 ongoing and 18 pipeline projects. Under sub-programme 5.4, on research for
livestock development, 4, 8 and 7 are respectively the number of completed, ongoing and
115
Depending on the study, the milk yields from local breed cows are estimated from 30% (Hemme T. et al. (2004). “A Review of Milk
Production in Bangladesh with Particular Emphasis on Small-Scale Producers”, Pro-Poor Livestock Policy Initiative (PPLPI), FAO, Working
Paper No 7, 5 January 2004) to 50% of those from crossbreeding cows (Karim Zahurul et al. (2010). “Growth and Development {Potential
of Livestock and Fisheries in Bangladesh”), Bangladesh Food Security Investment Forum, 26-27 May 2010). 116

pipeline projects, for a total of 23, 52 and 45 million USD allocated. Sub-programme 5.1, 5.2,
and 5.3 financed respectively 35, 19, and 6 million USD, with a pipeline of 4, 7, and 45
million USD, respectively. In 2013/14, budget delivery for programme 5 reduced to 23
million USD from 24 million USD in 2012/13 and from 21 million USD in 2010/11, the first
year of CIP implementation. This was mainly due to a substantial drop in DPs’ delivery: from
14 million USD in 2010/11 to only 4 million USD in 2013/14. The programme’s cumulative
delivery was 85 million USD, which represents only 63% of the programme’s financed
budget.
Implementation of the National Livestock Extension Policy (2013)
With the goal of making Bangladesh self-reliant in meeting the growing internal demand of
milk, meat and eggs, the 2013 National Livestock Extension Policy (NLEP) has been drafted.
NLEP aims to: i) strengthen research-extension-farmers linkages for better access to
technology, information and marketing channels; ii) promote sustainable improvements in
safe milk, meat and eggs production, processing and value addition; iii) stimulate private
sector participation and investments; iv) contribute to national food security and improved
nutrition; v) strengthening of health services, epidemiology of disease and diagnostic
facilities, disease surveillance and reporting; vi) support farmers in adopting suitable
technology through capacity building of both farmers and extension providers as well as
other agents throughout the value chain. The Policy also stressed the need to support
producers’ organization in order to enable demand-led extension services and FIAC housed
at UP complex for one stop extension service provision (see Programme 1). GoB should
support the implementation of NLEP by focusing on its regulatory role in the area of poultry
and livestock farming, veterinary services and veterinary public issues, in order to facilitated
private sector investments in the livestock sector117
.
Expansion of targets for vaccination and artificial insemination programmes
Between 2010/11 and 2012/13, 537 million doses of livestock and poultry vaccines118
of 17
varieties were produced; livestock and poultry were accordingly treated. In 2013/14, the
target for vaccine doses was 410 million, which represented a huge increase compared to
177 million vaccine doses produced and distributed over the previous year. Moreover, in
2012/13, DLS provided veterinary treatment services to 56 million cattle and poultry birds,
which compares to the 2013/14 target of 60 million. In 2012/13, around 345 million semen
doses were produced and used for artificial insemination of cows, under the Government’s
livestock breeding programmes, while the target for 2013/14 increased up to 379 million119
.
To achieve the revised target the livestock extension service need to be strengthened.
A Veterinary Drug Administration Cell is operating to make available quality drugs and
vaccines for livestock. An FAO-USAID supported project titled “Improving food security of
women and children by enhancing backyard and small-scale poultry production in the
Southern Delta Region”, is developing the capacity of community vaccinators through
training and vaccination kits distribution to ensure prevention of poultry diseases in the
project area. As of December 2014, the project distributed 8,500 birds in 13 villages. A

three-day training course, supported by DLS, was designed with a mix of theoretical
instruction and demonstration/practice to establish village-level vaccination120
.
Enhanced livestock productivity and technology adoption
The Integrated Agricultural Productivity Project (IAPP, 2011-2016) aims to enhance the
productivity of agriculture (crop, livestock and fisheries) in selected agro-ecologically
constrained and economically depressed areas,121
and ensure better water management. In
particular, the target for livestock is the production of 1.75 litre of milk per cow per day, for
60,000 beneficiaries within 3,000 Livestock Rearer Groups (LRGs for cow, goat, and backyard
poultry rearers’ groups) by the end of the project (2016). To reach the target, DLS is
ensuring technological adoption and training. The project’s activities include: groups’
formation; beneficiary training; livestock-specific package distribution; fodder
demonstrations; vaccination, de-worming and fertility health campaigns. The primary
responsibilities of the groups’ members are to adopt the technology promoted under
demonstration, and to undertake group activities related to learning and inputs’
distribution.
As of June 2014, 1,939 groups (out of 3,000 targeted) have been formed, while a total of
38,780 (out of 60,000 targeted) farmers improved breed/husbandry practices. Out of the
38,780 adopter-farmers, 31,024 (88% female and 12% men) were able to reach the
production target (1.75 litre/cow/day). Group members received training and inputs,
including vaccination, medication and de-worming.
Promoting hybrid cattle for higher productivity
DLS is promoting cross-breeding techniques to increase the number of hybrid cattle.
Besides, under technical and financial assistance from IAPP, several private organizations,
such as BRAC, in collaboration with the public sector, have established artificial insemination
centres in remote areas. These centres also provide on-the-farm services, which have higher
rate in successful crossbreeding operations. As of August 2014, the regional artificial
insemination laboratory in Rajshahi has been made operational with the objective of
preserving imported high quality semen, and producing high quality semen from crossbreed
bulls. In addition, an adjacent Fodder Farming Centre has been created to provide high
yielding and nutritive fodder to the bulls.
Disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation within the livestock sector
DLS started developing a Plan of Action on Disaster Risk Reduction & Climate Change
Adaptation in Livestock Sector, in order to strengthen the capacity for disaster
preparedness, management response and recovery. Training for 100 DLS officials on disaster
and climate change responsive bio-security measures for poultry and dairy farms have been
conducted during 2013. Twenty local veterinary assistants have been trained as part of a
plan to develop emergency livestock workers in disaster prone areas.
Needs for further action in this area include:
� Boost productivity through crossbreeding and selection: The DLS-IAPP collaborative
national project gave priority to develop hybrid/crossbreed cows with the target of
120
http://www.fao.org/bangladesh/news/detail-events/en/c/272971/ 121
These areas lie in Rangpur, Kurigram, Nilphamari and Lalmonirhat districts in the North and Barisal, Patuakhali, Barguna and Jhalokathi
districts in the South.
60
achieving higher milk and meat productivity. It is important for the crossbreeding
services to be provided within the client premises in order to improve reproductive
performance (as performed by BRAC). Based on the normative standard of milk
consumption of 130 grams of milk per day, for a population of around 158.2 million,
7.5 MMT of milk should be made available to provide enough milk to Bangladesh.
This figure compared to the 6.9 MMT currently produced. Moreover, development
of suitable poultry breed should also be strengthened. In this context, Aftab
Bohumukhi Farm Limited has recently started contract breeder stock farming. Its
hatchery production system is now run with domestic grandparent stocks, with the
related import dependency drastically reduced122
.
� Promote dairy processing technologies: Post-harvest losses are high due to
inadequate handling and processing at different stages of the supply chain,
especially in preservation and transportation123
. The Horticulture Export
Development Foundation developed secondary ‘product manufacturing technology’
for preparation of cheese, yogurt, ghee, rasogolla chhana, etc, through their Supply
Chain Development Component of the National Agricultural Technology Project
(NATP) in collaboration with the World Bank, IFAD and GoB. The improved secondary
‘product manufacturing technology’ after proper demonstration has been
disseminated to several upazilas at the form level in the country. As milk gets spoiled
easily, improved preservation system is essential for its long distance transportation
involving longer time. Some large corporate organizations such as PRAN, AFTAB and
Milk Vita maintain their own cold chain transport facilities. Such facilities need to be
made available to small-scale entrepreneurs.
� Sustain school milk programmes for better nutrition while supporting dairy
farmers: Introduction/expansion of school milk programmes could benefit children
nutritional status and sustain the demand for small-scale dairy producers. FAO-Rabo
Bank pilot project on “Linking School Milk with Smallholder Dairy Development in
Tala, Satkhira, Bangladesh” (2012-2015) shows that there is room for enhancing
children’s nutritional status, by increasing milk consumption, and sustaining dairy
sector development by procuring milk, as well as stimulating the creation of
pasteurization centres. In implementing the programmes, it will be essential to have
involvement of the private sector, promotion of nutrition awareness campaigns, and
training on handling/preservation practices in schools of key staff members.
� Improve quantity and quality of feed and fodder: One of the main constrain for
livestock development is the fluctuation and availability of quality inputs, such as
feed and fodder. Commercial production of green grass for dairy cattle is inadequate
and represents an essential item of the daily feed. For extending fodder production,
the Government fellow land, roadside slops, riverside slops, newly accreted char land
should be used for fodder production through organized farmers community. The
land attached to ULDC could be used as high yielding fodder seed production.
Ensuring quality and safety of animal feed is pivotal to prevent hazardous substances
entering the food, and to reduce costs and increase profitability of livestock sector.
Feed analysis aims at enabling the production of safe, balance diet for livestock. The

availability of accurate information on ingredients composition of feed, and in turn,
establishing the level of desirable and undesirable substances is essential. In
2013/14, DLS has accordingly taken the decision to analyse around 1,500 feed
samples. The target is expected to reach the 2,100 units by 2016/17. The process
needs to be sustained in order to make available high quality feeds and fodder.
� Sustain value addition in producing hides, skin, horn and bone: Leather and leather
goods are the third most important export earner items in Bangladesh. Flaying
techniques of the skin and animals’ health and nutrition status are key drivers
determining the quality of the processed hides and skin. In particular, more
investment should be made on improving: flaying technique to improve the quality
of the produce, the quality of the breeds, and the health and disease management of
the animals. Mechanized slaughterhouses and storage facilities also need to be
increased. Within this context, there is scope to improve the efficiency in production
processes to transform horn, hoofs and bones into valuable commodities (such as
refined sugars, charcoal, fertilizers, glass, plastics, adhesives, pet food), which is
largely underutilized. DLS should introduce training programme for butchers on
flaying and grading of meat cuts and preservation of skins through curing. For quality
control and certification of hides and skin, DLS would need to set up a wing and if
necessary, through promulgation of an act. DLS may also work to prepare a
comprehensive marketing policy for hides and skin124
.
� Support biogas production: As stressed by NLEP (2013), the livestock subsector has
huge potential in renewable energy production. In Bangladesh only 43% of rural
population has access to electricity, which is essential for lighting and cooking, and a
vital driver for economic growth and poverty reduction. Around 90% of all
households cook with traditional biomass, such as rice husks, jute sticks, cow dung,
or wood; this makes biomass increasingly scarce and costly, while contributes to
lower the level of organic nutrients in the soil125

5. Access: progress towards CIP and NFP PoA outputs
5.1. Programme 6: Improved access to markets, value-addition in agriculture, and non-
farm incomes
Programme 6 of the CIP aims to increase access to food by boosting rural household
incomes through greater farm and non-farm value-addition, combined with greater farmers’
access to markets, through four sub-programmes to: (1) improve physical access to market
facilities and information; (2) mobilize and promote producer and marketing groups for
improved market access and knowledge; (3) develop adequate storage, processing, value
addition and reduce wastage through public-private partnerships; (4) promote and assist
the development of off farm activities and rural businesses. The programme corresponds to
the following seven AoIs in the NFP PoA: physical infrastructure (PoA AoI 1.6), agricultural
marketing (PoA AoI 1.7), policy/regulatory environment (PoA AoI 1.8), private food trade
(PoA AoI 2.3), agro-processing (PoA AoI 2.6), household income generation (PoA AoI 2.5)
and skill formation (PoA AoI 2.7).

Differences between farm gate and retail prices widen
The differences between farm gate and retail prices, known as price spread, generally
represent farmers share in consumer’ spending. Table 17 shows that for most of the
agricultural products under review, the differences increased. The lone exception was the
price of lentil, for which the price difference decreased drastically which is difficult to be
explained. The difference between farm gate and retail price of coarse rice increased
moderately to 10.49% in 2013/14 from 8.3% in 2012/13. The highest difference was
observed at 13.8% in 2011/12. For brinjal, the highest price difference was observed at
54.6% in 2013/14 compared to 24.5% in the preceding year. The price spread for potato has
been historically high, representing 41.4% in 2013/14 compared to 37.6% in 2012/13 and
54.5% in 2011/12. The most fluctuating difference in the two prices was observed in the
case of onion for which the price difference ranged from 12.1% in 2012/13 to 63.4% in
2011/12. The higher margin indicates that farmers were receiving lesser share of
consumers’ spending. High cost of transport, wastage and loss of quality along the value
chain may also contribute to the high margin. The increased margins for brinjal and potato
may be partly explained by perishability of the products and disruption of transportation
system resulting from frequent hartals during the later part of 2013. For onion, the
fluctuation of margin may be
attributed to domestic
production shortfalls
resulting from unfavorable
weather and the consequent
larger share of imported
component in the total
supply.
Figure 26 shows the
difference between
wholesale and retail prices of
coarse rice from early 2009 to
mid 2014. The difference was
substantial up to August 2009
and then narrowed during
December 2009 and August
2010. With brief widening
between August and December 2010, the difference narrowed again in April 2011 and since
then it continued to remain high. In fact, the difference between wholesale and retail prices
of coarse rice remained substantially high in June 2014 the reasons for which need to be
explored.
Difference between dealers’ and farmers’ prices of fertilizers remained stable
It is sometimes alleged that farmers pay higher prices of fertilizers in relation to dealers’
price, in spite of the fact that the Government fixes fertilizer prices both at dealers’ and
farmers’ level. Table 17 shows that the difference between dealers’ and farmers’ prices of
different types of fertilizers generally ranged between 10% and 15% over the recent years
which is consistent with the prices fixed at two levels. Some exceptions were observed in
the earlier periods of the series, particularly during 2007/08 which is marked as a year of
food and fuel price crisis. Because of soaring international prices, domestic supply was

scarce and distribution was done through a kind of rationing which provided opportunities
for rent seeking by the marketing agents.
Lesser progress on development of growth centres and rural markets
There has been a declining trend in the development of new growth centres, rural markets,
women market centres and UP complexes through Government initiatives. Table 17 shows
that development of new growth centres decreased to 187 in 2012/13 and further
decreased to 157 in 2013/14, compared to 442 and 647 in 2007/08 and 2009/10
respectively. However, many growth centres and rural markets are being developed through
private initiatives. Such spontaneous growth is induced by rapid demand growth of
consumables in the rural communities, resulting from income growth, remittances and
change in attitudes to get out of localite perception126
. The Finance Minister in his budget
speech (2014-15) mentioned that five thousand kilometres of new roads will be constructed
and ten thousand kilometres of metal road will be repaired. He also mentioned that more
than 2 thousand growth centres will be connected with district headquarters. All Union
Parishads will be transformed into vibrant habitat with all modern civic amenities127
.
Wage difference between male and female in agriculture declined
The wage difference between male and female in agriculture decreased from 40% in
2012/13 to 30% in 2013/14 which can be taken as a substantial positive change. This
changed figure is based on officially recorded national statistics of the BBS. There is also
other empirical evidence showing the nature and magnitudes of male–female wage
differentials. An ILO study found that women used to earn an average of 21% less per hour
than men. By controlling differences in age, education, occupation and geographic location,
the gender wage gap was found to be 15.9%. Gender-based occupational segregation
increased the gender wage gap in the construction, financial intermediation and
manufacturing works, but minimized it in the education, hotels and restaurants and other
services. Education was found to play an important role in lowering gender wage gap in
Bangladesh128
.
Small scale manufacturing growth gets slower
Growth of small scale manufacturing decelerated to 6.6% in 2013/14 from 8.8% in 2012/13.
The same growth rate was observed in 2011/12 (Table 17). Although the growth rate is
slightly above the GDP growth, this cannot be taken as a satisfactory rate in view of the fact
that the Government considers small and medium enterprises (SME) as the thrust sector of
the economy. The Finance Minister in his budget speech (2014/15) pledged to continue
support in terms of credit and refinancing facilities to help develop labour intensive small,
medium and cottage industries. He also emphasized expanding credit facilities to women
entrepreneurs129
. Bangladesh Bank has undertaken different programmes to provide
relatively cheaper loans for SME sector. An amount of Taka 35.9 billion has been provided to
different banks and financial institutions under refinance schemes until the end of June
2014. The total number of beneficiary enterprises stood at 42661 under refinancing scheme
in FY14. Special emphasis has been given to bring women entrepreneurs in the

development process. Bangladesh Bank has reserved 10% of its SME financing fund for
women entrepreneurs at a maximum annual interest rate of 10%130
.
Technical and vocational training enrolment remained stable
Enrolment in technical and vocational education did not increase in 2013/14, rather it
marginally decreased. Enrolment steadily increased from 2007/08 and reached 177,831 in
2012/13. Total number of students enrolled in technical and vocational education and
training (TVET) was recorded at 177,329 in 2013/14 which is not encouraging in a situation
when the country needs increasing number of technically skilled manpower both for
domestic and overseas markets. The ratio of TVET enrolment to Secondary and Higher
Secondary school enrolment also marginally decreased to 2.20% in 2013/14 from 2.34% in
2012/13. The Finance Minister in his budget speech (2014/15) mentioned that training of
international standard will be imparted to a total of 2 lakh 60 thousand individuals over a
period of three years using 32 institutes of three ministries, SME department of Bangladesh
Bank, PKSF and 9 industrial organizations. The target is to produce skilled manpower of
around 15 lakh by the next 10 years. The six priority sectors identified for employment of
the skilled manpower are: (1) garment industry (2) construction sector (3) information
technology (4) light engineering, (5) leather and footwear industry and (6) ship building131
.
An important consideration in skill
development is to ensure increased
participation of women and disabled persons
in skill development training and activities.
National campaigns on gender equality have
resulted in remarkable increase in the
number of women enrolling in TVET courses.
There has been a 20% increase in the
(compared to 2011 figures) female enrolment
in TVET courses. The adoption of equal
opportunity employment policies has led to a
20% increase in the female TVET instructors
and managers132
. There has also been
improvement in involving disabled persons in
skill development training. A picture of such
development can be seen in Box 7.
5.1.2. Policy developments/programmes underway and need for further action
Programme 6 of the CIP has a budget of 2680 million USD in 2013/14 (21% of the total CIP
budget), which represented 11.8% increase over the previous year’s budget, of which 2542
million USD has already been financed (73% by GoB and 27% by DPs) as of June 2014. The
total number of projects under the programme were 86 of which 17 completed, 48 ongoing
and 21 were in the pipeline. Of the four sub-programmes of programme 6, the single major
one was sub-programme 6.1 which had 56 projects and accounted for 90% of the total

budget for the programme in 2013/14. The total budget allocation for the programme in
2013/14 had increased by 12% over the previous year, due to increase in the number of
projects. Total delivery of this programme in 2013/14 was 398 million USD which
represented a decline in delivery from the previous year (2012/13) by 21%. The cumulative
delivery of the programme was 1354 million USD, which represents only 53% of the
programme’s financed budget.
The Department of Agricultural Marketing (DAM) has been implementing a project entitled
Strengthening of Marketing Services for Farmer’ Marketing Groups through the Market
Infrastructures built in the North-western Region. The project started in July/13 and is
scheduled to be completed by June/15. The purpose of the project is to assist farmers’
marketing groups in receiving fair prices of products by making use of the 75 market
infrastructures built through the recently completed North-west Crop Diversification
Project. Increasing marketing efficiency of farmers’ marketing groups through training on
marketing techniques and agro-processing is also an important objective of the project.
The Government passed the Union Parishad Development Planning Rules 2013 which
outlined the planning activities of Union Parishads including (i) updating of annual
development programme activities following the Five Year Plans, (ii) inclusion of projects
prioritized on the basis of public utilities in the Union Parishad Development Plans and (iii)
inclusion of projects being implemented by NGOs in the Union Parishad Development Plans.
The Government formulated the National Skill Development Policy 2011 with the vision of
empowering all eligible individuals to access decent employment and ensure Bangladesh’s
competitiveness in the global market through improved skills, knowledge and qualifications.
The Hortex Foundation, through implementation of Supply Chain Development Component
(SCDC) of the National Agricultural Technology (NATP), made good progress to integrate
small and marginal farmers and agribusiness enterprises into modern value chain during the
project implementation from 2008 to 2014. The initiative piloted and established a network
of 25 Commodity Collection and Marketing Centres, and shortened the supply chain into
two segments (faria and collectors). The SCDC developed 62 high potential value chains in
20 Upazilas of 13 districts and provided support for post-harvest management,
improvement of market linkages and enterprise development activities133
.
Needs for further actions in this area include:
� Improve physical access to markets: Although there has been significant expansion
of road communication system over the past decades, existing roads, railways and
waterways are insufficient to keep pace with the growing economic activities,
particularly in rural areas. The Government’s priorities to improve communication
infrastructure are: (1) construction of Padma Multipurpose Bridge by 2018, (2)
construction of a tunnel underneath the Karnaphuli river, (3) conversion of
nationally important highways into four lanes gradually, (4) modernize railways with
construction of double lines and provision of other improved facilities, and (5)
construction of another sea port at Moheshkhali134
. Bangladesh has an extensive
network of rivers, canals and other forms of water areas. But these networks are not
properly utilized due to insufficient water flows and various manmade interventions.
133
Hortex Newsletter, Volume 13, No. 4, October-December 2013. Hortex Foundation, Dhaka. 134
Budget Speech (2014-15) op cit.
68
Priority needs to be given for improving waterways in the country by recovering and
excavating the rivers and canals.
� Reduce wastage and quality loss of food products: Wastage and quality loss of food
products under storage and transportation is a serious problem in the marketing
system in the country. For brinjal and okra, voluminous packages made up of
bamboo baskets and gunny sacks are used for long distance transportation and
consequently wastage is high due to vibration and internal heat generation135
. For
long distance transportation, mini and large trucks without any cooling facilities are
used. There is scope to introduce plastic packages, plastic net bags, foam wrap and
corrugated fibreboard boxes to reduce wastage and maintain quality during storage
and transportation of the products. While some large private companies such as
PRAN, Aarong and Milk Vita have covered vans and cold chain transport vehicles,
most of the traders use traditional vehicles for transporting food and other
agricultural products. The Hortex Foundation has acquired a fleet of cool chain
transport vehicles for renting out to the traders of fruits and vegetables. More of
such services need to be made available to the food traders and manufacturers at
affordable prices.
� Further reduce wage difference between men and women: The wage differential
between men and women decreased to 30% in 2013/14 from 40% in the previous
year which is a positive outcome. Wage parity between women and men is closely
linked with women’s empowerment. Empirical evidence showed that the rate of
increase in empowerment with increase in income and education was higher for
men than for women in agricultural decision making. Thus women with higher
income and higher education similar to men may still remain less empowered than
men in agricultural decision making, as this is considered a male domain136
. While
measures should be taken to further improve women’s empowerment and reduce
wage differentials between men and women, rigorous analysis also needs to be done
to examine productivity differentials between men and women in similar type of
activities.
� Strengthen support to agro-processing: The agro-processing industry accounts for
over 22% of all manufacturing production and employs about 20% of labour force in
the country137
. Agro-processing including canning of fruits and vegetables, growing
mushroom and production of dried food has considerable potential for income and
nutrition. To promote agro-processing activities, Bangladesh Bank launched a
scheme of Taka 1.0 billion in 2011 for financing the agro-based product processing
industries in the areas outside Divisional Head Quarters and Narayanganj town. The
size of the fund increased to Taka 4.0 billion in 2013. A total of Taka 5.0 billion was
disbursed under this scheme up to the end of June 2014 against 1897 enterprises on
revolving basis138
. Bangladesh Bank has also instructed to reserve 15% of total SME
funds exclusively for women entrepreneurs at 10% interest rate. These opportunities

needs to be exploited through selection of appropriate technology, compliance with
quality standards, training and skill development of entrepreneurs and workers.
� Promote employment generation through micro-enterprise development: Results
of a recent study showed that the share of crop agriculture in the rural household
income declined from 30.0% in 2000 to 27.8% in 2010. Among the non-farm
activities, share of the service sector increased significantly. The share of
manufacturing also increased during the period. The positive impact of non-farm
activities on rural income depend on the wage received and days of employment in
the respective sectors (Rahman 2014)139
. The average days of work in non-
agricultural activities are 307 days per year compared to 219 days of work in
agricultural work. Thus non-agricultural employment was 40% higher than
agricultural employment. Since rural non-farm activities have positive impact on
employment and income generation, policy support needs to be provided for
expansion of rural non-farm activities for improving productivity of both existing and
potential activities.
� Enhance skill development, particularly for women and disabled: As has been
observed in Table 17, enrolment of students in the TVET institutes decreased in
2013/14 from the previous year which is not a good sign from skill development
point of view. The TVET facilities need to be expanded with provision of modern
educational equipment and technically skilled manpower. In the agriculture sector,
facilities need to be expanded for imparting training to operators and mechanics for
improving their technical know-how and skills in machinery operations, repair and
maintenance. Skill development also needs to be expanded in non-agricultural
activities including agro-processing and manufacturing with particular emphasis on
involving women and disabled persons.
� Improve information system through use of IT services: For scaling up IT services to
different sectors of the economy, the Government has undertaken the programme
for transforming 8000 rural post offices and 500 Union post offices to e-centres.
Attempts are under way to connect the country with the Second Submarine Cable
Consortium140
. Bangladesh Bank has started collection and compilation of e-banking
and e-commence statistics and has incorporated the vital statistics into its
publication “Monthly Economic Trends”141
. The Department of Women Affairs has
made arrangement for a four month IT training course in 24 districts for skill
development in women. Under this programme, a total of 4,080 women will be
trained in a year with 20 persons in each batch in two shifts. A total of 1,360 women
have been given training under this programme. The Department of Agriculture
Marketing (DAM) has undertaken an initiative that would utilize the power of ICT to
develop and disseminate critical agricultural market information to farmers, traders,
policy makers, development agencies and other stakeholders142
. Implementation of
such schemes needs to be expedited towards realizing the vision of building a digital
Bangladesh.

5.2. Programme 7: Strengthened capacities for implementation and monitoring of the NFP
and CIP actions
Programme 7 aims at strengthening organisational and human capacities in designing,
implementing and monitoring NFP PoA and CIP. It consists of three sub-programmes
focused on strengthening capacities of: (1) the Government in policy implementation,
coordination and monitoring; (2) the Government in design, management and CIP
operations; and (3) civil society organisations in contributing to CIP development and
implementation. Chapter 2 provides the background of the institutional setting for the NFP
PoA and CIP and the monitoring framework.
5.2.1 Progress towards achievements
Progress under Programme 7 is measured by the indicators presented in Table 18.

Additional resources mobilized for CIP
During 2013/14, an additional 918 million USD were mobilized in projects previously in
pipeline or newly identified. This figure compares to 969 million USD for 2012/13 – the
previous reporting year, with a 2 years’ slowdown of fund mobilization by around 952
million USD since 2011/12. The ending period of the CIP explains this decreasing trend:
financial allocations to new projects largely fall beyond June 2015 and are therefore not
accounted under the CIP financing. Indeed, allocations beyond CIP period for ongoing
projects, continuing after June 2015, increased by 143% to 1,635 million USD in 2013/14,
from 674 million USD in 2012/13. Moreover, if the increase in potential future commitments
(i.e. pipeline projects beyond June 2015) -corresponding to 3,198 million USD in 2013/14 - is
also considered, the funds mobilized increased and more than compensated the structural
reduction in additional resources mobilized within the CIP.
Increase in projects implemented under the CIP
Thirty-five projects (new or previously in pipeline) were newly implemented in 2013/14,
valued at 530 million USD, out of a total additional financing of 918 million USD. The
difference between the two figures accounts for revisions in project budgets and project
expansion and extension (388 million USD). The number of newly introduced projects
decreased to 35 in 2013/14 from the 50 projects newly introduced in 2012/13, and valued
at 825 million USD, with the total budget decreasing by 295 million USD in 2013/14 to 530

reduction, while the remaining 36% derived from GoB. Looking at the shares’ composition of
the three specific components, both GoB and DPs diverted financial resources from Access
component: in favour of increased proportion of resources to Utilization– GoB, and both
Availability and Utilization – DPs, indication of the increasing attention to nutrition (Table
19).

The number of newly initiated projects reduced for all the FSN components: by 4, 9 and 2
respectively for Availability, Access and Utilization for Nutrition. Interestingly, the only
component to have increased budget allocation is Utilization by 28 million USD, suggesting
an augmented average size of new projects as their number decreased. For access and
availability, both number of new projects and budget allocations decreased (Table 19).
Implementation of the CIP
From 1st
July 2011 to 30th
June 2014, disbursements reached 4,760 million USD. This
represents 54% of the total financed budget of 8,789 million USD (ongoing and completed
projects) as of June 2014 (Table 33 and Table 37). In terms of implementation and
absorptive capacity, a slowdown has been registered with an execution performance of 53%
in 2013/14, This compares with 73% in 2012/13 (Table 20). However, budget delivery
improved from 1,515 million USD in 2012/13 to 1,583 in 2013/14. The reduction in
execution performance can be therefore attributed to the revision of the yearly pro-rata
budget due to the increase in unspent budget (Section 7.3).

Active institutional framework
The Food Planning and Monitoring Unit (FPMU) of the Ministry of Food supports the various
institutions involved in food and nutrition security policy making, planning and operations,
such as the secretariat of the cabinet level FPMC and those involved in the inter-ministerial
coordination mechanism, articulated into the four TTs, under FPWG coordination (Figure 2).
FPMU is actively engaged in strengthening inter ministerial collaboration and data
exchange, primarily through TT meetings, as well as informal collaboration. The monitoring
report is one of the major results of this interaction which enables Ministries, Divisions, as
well as Development Partners, involved within the food and nutrition security domain, to
enhance consistency, coordination and efficacy of their investments and operations.
In this context and under the coordination of the FPWG, TTs carry out the monitoring of NFP
PoA and CIP and support the production of the monitoring report by: collecting financial
data, i.e. input indicators, and result indicators at goal, outcome and output level, from the
relevant departments and agencies; and contributing to stakeholders’ consultations and to
drafting and reviewing the monitoring report. This is a well-established process in which
interactions are demonstrated to be increasingly collaborative and effective.
5.2.2 Policy development/programmes underway and needs for further action
As of June 2014, programme 7 of CIP channeled 21 million USD representing only 0.2% of
total CIP budget of 2013/14, of which 17 million USD is already financed entirely by DPs.
Total budget allocation for programme 7 increased by 5% over the previous year. However,
the figure is substantially lower than the total budget in 2010/11, the first year of CIP
implementation (66 million USD). The difference is due to a substantial drop in pipeline
projects’ budget. The programme consists of three sub-programmes with a total of 2
completed, 3 ongoing (one for each sub-programme) and 2 pipeline projects. Sub-
73
programme 7.1, on strengthening capacity to implement NFP PoA and CIP, has 2 completed
and 1 ongoing projects for a total of 14 million USD. Sub-programmes 7.2 and 7.3 financed
respectively 2 and 0.7 million USD and a pipeline of 3.1 and 0.7 million USD, respectively. In
2013/14, budget delivery decreased to 2.7 million USD, from 3.7 million USD and from 3.3 in
2010/11, the first year of implementation. As of June 2014, cumulative budget delivery was
13 million USD, which represents 77% of the programme’s financed budget.
Continued monitoring of food and nutrition security investments, policies and indicators
While NFPCSP (2005 - 2015) concluded in March 2015, FPMU staff members continued to
coordinate the monitoring process of NFP PoA and CIP with the technical support of FAO-
Bangladesh policy support team. The capacity development activities continued throughout
2014 and 2015, although downscaled due to reduced FAO technical support staff, from
September 2014 to June 2015.
The strengthened skills and competencies of FPMU facilitated ensuring the quality and
reliability of financial data and their increased role in collecting the information provided by
the TT members and in supporting the update of the CIP financial database to put the
monitoring process in place. The process has further evolved towards validating the
information from the implementing agencies against ADP official records for the period
2010 – 2014/15, published by the Planning Commission and IMED of the Ministry of
Planning. The detailed results of CIP financial analysis can be found in Chapter 7 and Annex
3 of this monitoring report.
The improved role of FPMU
FPMU has gradually strengthened its position for multi-sectoral policy advice on food
security and nutrition, including co-ordination, monitoring and policy formulation support.
For instance, FPMU led the formulation of the Food Safety Act and the national food safety
emergency response plan; contributed to the formulation of the nutrition policy; is
providing regular support in the production of Integrated Food Security Phase Classification
(IPC) reports (see programme 11); supported the formulation of the food security and
nutrition background paper for the Seventh Five Year Plan (2015-2020), and the progress
report of the Planning Commission’s perspective plan of Bangladesh (2010-2021) on food
security and nutrition achievements; collaborated with international partners on the
availability of nutrition data, specifically by supporting valid international in mapping
nutrition sensitive and specific database. FPMU also continued its engagement with
operationalizing food and nutrition security related governance mechanisms, such as the
new Bangladesh Food Safety Authority and the multi-sectoral National Steering Committee
for Nutrition Implementation.
Future challenges in the wake of ICN2 and SUN commitments
New opportunities and challenges for FPMU emerge from two international initiatives:
firstly, from the outcome of the FAO/WHO organized Second International Conference on
Nutrition (ICN2), a high-level intergovernmental meeting that focused global attention on
addressing malnutrition in all its forms (19 -21 November, 2014); and secondly, from the
Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) movement.
74
In the ICN2’s Rome Declaration on Nutrition146
, participating world leaders, including
Bangladesh’s Minister of Agriculture and Minister of Food, agreed that “nutrition policies
should promote a diversified, balanced and healthy diet at all stages of life” and that
“nutrition data and indicators, as well as the capacity of, and support to all countries, for
data collection and analysis, need to be improved in order to contribute to more effective
nutrition surveillance, policy making and accountability”.
Previously, in September 2012, Bangladesh joined the SUN movement, which among other
objectives147
, aims to “align actions around high quality and well-costed country plans,
with an agreed results framework and mutual accountability”.
These international initiatives underline FPMU’s key role in monitoring and analysis of
investments and policies within food security and nutrition domain: on one side, FPMU’s
experience in monitoring food and nutrition security policies, investments and indicators,
including tracking nutrition sensitive and specific investments; and, on the other, FPMU’s
commitment to formulate a National Food and Nutrition Security Policy, Plan of Action, and
the new Country Investment Plan.
Planning and costing nutrition actions
Tracking financial resource flows to nutrition actions is fundamental for improved nutrition
accountability for a country. To this end, the NFP PoA and CIP monitoring provides a better
understanding of nutrition-relevant budget allocations as a major and necessary step prior
to tracking actual expenditures. FPMU with technical support from FAO has been closely
engaging with sectoral stakeholders through the thematic teams to categorize budget
allocations identified in the key FSN sectors. In this respect, the CIP implementation builds
strongly on the mechanism in place for monitoring the NFP PoA, and projects and
programmes financed through the Annual Development Programme (ADP) as part of the
national planning process. Budget allocations have been categorized under the three
dimensions of food security, namely, food availability, food access and nutrition. Following
the participation of the MoHFW at a SUN Global Workshop held in Bangkok in April 2015,
FPMU supported the team in categorizing programmes as nutrition specific and nutrition
sensitive and contributed to assigning weightage to programmes. Weightages of 100%, 75%,
50% and 25% respectively were assigned to programmes: (a) identified as nutrition specific
(with high impact evidence), (b) programmes with clear nutrition objective and well defined
nutrition interventions, (c) programmes as part of sector wide programme and address
underlying determinants of malnutrition and (d) programmes that work at environment or
population level and that address characteristics related to nutrition outcomes.
The MUCH programme in support of Programme 7 commenced
On 14 January 2015, in response to a Government request to continue supporting
Programme 7, GoB and FAO signed a project document on Meeting the Under-nutrition
Challenge (MUCH, 2015-2020) in support of the Government’s efforts to address food
146
During the Second International Conference on Nutrition held in Rome on 19-21 November 2014, world leaders committed to
establishing national policies aimed at eradicating malnutrition and transforming food systems to make nutritious diets available to all.
The two main outcome documents, endorsed by participating governments, were The Rome Declaration on Nutrition and the Framework
for Action. 147
The four SUN strategic objectives are to: (i) Create an enabling political environment, with strong in-country leadership, and a shared
space (multi-stakeholder platforms) where stakeholders align their activities and take joint responsibility for scaling up nutrition; (ii)
Establish best practice for scaling up proven interventions, including the adoption of effective laws and policies; (iii) Align actions around
high quality and well-costed country plans, with an agreed results framework and mutual accountability; (iv) Increase resources, directed
towards coherent, aligned approaches.

insecurity and malnutrition in the country. MUCH follows up on the positive outcomes of
NFPCSP and is being funded by contributions worth 20 million USD from USAID and EU.
MUCH is based in FPMU and collaborates with other key ministries for food and nutrition
security, as well as with civil society and the private sector. The new intervention will focus
on strengthening the enabling environment and improve Government capacity for
eradicating food insecurity and malnutrition, and specifically, on improving GoB capacity for:
(i) developing national food security and nutrition sectoral/cross-sectoral policy
frameworks, cross-sectoral and sectoral investment plans, and programmes; (ii) human
resource and organizational development; (iii) ensuring adequate resource allocation and
use; (iv) effectively engaging in dialogue with civil society and private sector on policies and
programmes; and (v)monitoring and mapping trends and analyzing sectoral and
stakeholders’ contribution to food security and nutrition, by involving FPMU and FSN
related ministries.
The project Strengthening Capacity for Aid Effectiveness in Bangladesh under Mid-Term
Review
The project Strengthening Capacity for Aid Effectiveness in Bangladesh (2011 - 2016) is being
implemented by Economic Relations Division, Ministry of Finance and jointly funded by
DFAT, DANIDA, DFID, UNDP and GoB. Total budget of the project is 4.54 million USD,
although the project faces a funding gap of 1.36 million USD148
. The project aims to improve
the effectiveness, transparency and accountability in allocation, management and use of
foreign assistance by strengthening national aid management capacities and systems, as
well as by enhancing collective dialogue and coordination mechanisms, in order to achieve
improved development results. This is to be achieved by: (1) enhancing GoB’s aid
information management capacities and access to aid information by Parliament and civil
society; (2) strengthening aid management capacities of the Economic Relations Division
and selected Line Ministries and (3) strengthening the Local Consultative Group
Mechanisms. In this context, a midterm review of the project is under implementation.
Strengthening Public Expenditure Management Programme (SPEMP)
The Strengthening Public Expenditure Management Programme (SPEMP, 2011 – 2017) is a
114 million USD umbrella programme to reform the public financial management system.
SPEMP is financed by a Multi Donor Trust Fund, with joint contributions from DFID, EU,
DANIDA, CIDA and EKN and is administered and technically supported by the World Bank.
The programme aims to improve efficiency, effectiveness and accountability in managing
and utilizing public funds, in order to boost the implementation of national development
priorities, such as accelerated poverty reduction and sustainable economic growth. SPEMP’s
expected outcome is to increase the rate of implementation of ADP projects, by facilitating
increased disbursement of aid. The programme consists of three projects executed by the
Government to: (i) reform activities in budget preparation and execution; (ii) strengthen
internal and external audit; and (iii) legislative oversight.
As of May 2014 major achievements include: (1) contributing to design and implement a
new integrated budget and accounting system for improved budgeting, accounting and
reporting functions; 160 sub-district account offices are currently using the new system; (2)
enrolling over 100 audit staff in professional accreditation courses; (3) providing training on
148

76
public financial management to more than 6,600 GoB officials; (4) completing 12 pilot
audits, of which six covered high impact areas (procurement, public debt, revenue, public
works, forensic and investigative, and environmental); (5) reviewing and clearing 350 audit
reports and settling 5,550 audit objections, reducing the audit backlog by 95%; and (6)
contributing to the design of MIS and drafting amended rules of procedures for the
parliamentary financial oversight committees149
.
Implementing a results-based M&E system for social protection programmes
As discussed under Programme 9, no formal mechanism for regularly reviewing the overall
performance of the Social Protection System (SPS) is currently in place. The new NSPS
suggested the establishment of a comprehensive result-based M&E framework for proper
planning and implementation of SPS. The General Economics Division (GED) of the Planning
Commission, in collaboration with IMED and with the support of Local Government
institutions and NSSA, will coordinate the establishment of the M&E system. A task force
comprising Government officials and national experts under the supervision of GED, will be
developing an M&E framework to be implemented from July 2015.
Enhanced capacity of DG Food and FPMU to monitor and manage food stocks
The World Bank has provided a soft loan of 210 million USD to GoB for the Modern Food
Storage Facilities Project (MFSFP), to be implemented from 2014 to 2020 with a total budget
of 240 million USD. The project aims to increase grain storage capacity at national and
household levels, to meet the post-disaster needs and to improve the efficiency of grain
storage management. The project will invest around 10% of the total budget to support
food planning and policies (10 million USD); and to support the food monitoring programme
(15 million USD).
The Integrated Agricultural Productivity Project (IAPP) at its mid stage of implementation
In 2014, the IAPP TA component undertook an internal midterm review (IMTR) that
gathered evidence of enhanced capacities in developing and implementing investment
programmes in agriculture, food security and nutrition, both in the public sector and with a
number of key farmers’ organizations. IMTR recommendations included: to enhance results’
sustainability by focusing on strengthening a limited number of entities in the Government
(such as planning wings in the ministries, extension services, planning commission); and to
collaborate with national education partners to anchor capacity development activities into
long term education activities. The partnerships involve the Bangladesh Public
Administration Training Centre, the Dhaka University, the Bangladesh Technical Education
Board and the Agricultural Technical Institutes. Moreover, the project supports capacity
strengthening to sustain nutrition sensitive investment, by developing nutrition curricula for
extension workers, as well as activities to better empower Farmers’ Organizations that
engage into the investment cycle.
Needs for further actions in this area include:
� Formulate the National Food and Nutrition Security Policy (NFNSP), Plan of Action
and the new Country Investment Plan: Food and nutrition policy related functions
under FPMU will be further strengthened in the coming years, through FPMU
engagement with MFSFP on food management, and with MUCH on food and
149

77
nutrition security policy analysis and monitoring. In this context of growing
commitments for FPMU, 2015 is a key year as it is the end year of MDGs, CIP, PoA of
NFP, and of the Sixth Five Year Plan. FPMU will play a fundamental role in
coordinating the participatory process of producing the new FNS policy, action and
investment documents. Mainstreaming nutrition sensitive interventions, climate
change, food processing, non-grain food price monitoring will be some of the focus
areas.
� Mainstream capacity development components in the NFNSP, PoA, and the new
CIP: DPs maintain a pivotal role in supporting Government activities under
Programme 7. As partners in CIP, DPs constitute a crucial source of accurate and
consistent financial data on ongoing and planned investments in the CIP (see
Chapter 7). DPs role in valorising lessons learned from the CIP monitoring process,
including its outcomes in future planning and priority setting, will be pivotal in
producing the policy, action and investment documents. Furthermore, the inclusion
of capacity development components in DPs financed projects will continue playing
an important role in improving delivery and effectiveness, as well as sustainability of
national capacities.
� Expedite provision of additional FPMU staff: The collaboration with MFSFP and
MUCH will involve a substantial increase in FPMU activities and commitments.
Moreover, FSNIS could become the platform where all relevant FSN data are readily
available (programme 11). To ensure proper functioning and expansion of FSNIS
system and to maintain the commitments with MSFSP and MUCH, FPMU staff need
to be increased and its capacity further strengthened.
� Strengthen implementation capacity and accelerate operations: Execution
performance decreased from 73% in 2012/13 to 53% in 2013/14 (Table 20). While
the budget delivery has improved, inadequate organizational and human capacities
are still major constraints for effective implementation and management of
investment operations. Implementation delays represent challenges in
operationalization of projects. At organizational level, multiple ministries are
involved in project programming, budgeting and implementation. The complexity of
the process contributes to delays, reduced efficiency and accountability, amidst the
political situation. Moreover, sectoral challenges were faced with implementation of
nutrition interventions. Enhancement in ADP management, including capacity
building for planning and monitoring, as well as improvement in the procurement
system, need to be further strengthened to improve the rate of implementation and
delivery of CIP.
5.3. Programme 8: Enhanced public food management system
Public food management in Bangladesh aims to: i) stabilize rice and wheat supply against
the negative impacts resulting from natural disasters, and international/domestic price
fluctuations; ii) support poor households’ livelihoods by distributing grains through safety
net programmes (see programme 9); and iii) support farmers’ incomes by sustaining grains’
prices during harvest, in case of excessively low prices. Public food management operations
involve both domestic procurement, import, effective grain storage and distribution.
78
5.3.1. Progress towards achievements
Programme 8 aims to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the public food
management system. It corresponds to two PoA AoIs: enhanced public procurement system
to support producer prices (PoA AoI 1.10) and improved management of public stocks and
price stabilization (PoA AoI 1.11). Programme 8 is articulated in three sub-programmes and
aims to: (1) enhance efficiency and effectiveness of public food management system and
improve its impacts on price stabilization, (2) build capacities of the Ministry of Food and DG
Food to better manage the food system and (3) increase and modernise public storage and
handling capacity, including in disaster prone areas. Table 21 shows the relevant output
indicators and their status of achievement.

part of the given fiscal year (e.g. boro procurement for 2012/13 represents the procurement throughout the 2013 boro
season). R: revised
Effective grain storage capacity continued increasing
Effective foodgrain storage capacity increased by 20.2%, over the reference period
2007/08 – 2013/14, reaching 1.79 million MT in 2013/14 from 1.69 million MT in 2012/13
(Table 21). This is consistent with the Government’s efforts to increase foodgrains’ storage
and handling capacities, on the wake of the 2007/08 food price crises. These efforts aimed
at reinforcing the capacity to cope with the negative effects of market price volatility and
of natural disasters. While the target for increased storage capacity is 2.2 million MT by
2015, current estimates point at about 2 million MT by 2015 and about 2.5 million MT by
2020 (Table 22)151
. The major increase in storage capacity will result from the new World
Bank financed Modern Food Storage Facilities Project (MFSFP) which will add capacity for
0.54 million tons by 2020152
. While expanding storage capacity is certainly an important
priority, rehabilitation, maintenance and modernization of the existing storage facilities
play an important role in sustaining the national capacity.

Utilization of storage capacity varied on an increasing trend
Average utilization of the effective storage capacity fluctuated over the past years: in the
wake of the food price crisis, it increased from 38% in 2007/08 to 79% in 2008/09, as a
consequence of the increased stocking capacity and production; it decreased for the two
following years and bounced back up to 80% in 2011/12, then decreased to 73% in 2012/13
and reached 60% in 2013/14 (Table 21). The average annual utilization conceals the
seasonal stock variations determined by domestic procurement, import and public
distribution decisions, which follow different seasonal patterns. In 2013/14, for instance,
public foodgrain stock ranged from 1.27 million tons in October to 0.99 million tons in
January, representing effective utilization of about 71% and 55% respectively. The required
stocking capacity is determined by the utilization in the peak season, which normally
coincides with the final stage of the boro procurement, generally around October.
Domestic procurement during boro season increased
The aim of domestic foodgrain procurement system is twofold: to sustain farm gate prices
at harvest time in support of farmers’ income; and to build the public stocks for both regular
distribution, for instance through safety net programmes, and for facing emergencies arising
out of the adverse impacts of natural calamities. The main factors affecting procurement
are: (i) the cost of production, the domestic market price, and their gap – generally, the
lower the gap, the higher is the procurement price; (ii) the world price of rice and wheat –
the lower the price, the cheaper is importing grains for the public distribution and (iii) the
change in quantity of rice produced.
Total domestic boro procurement in 2014 (reported under 2013/14) reached 1.06 million
MT, up 0.25 million MT from previous boro procurement seasons (Table 21). The increase

over the previous year (Figure 28). Boro procurement followed the pattern that in years of
relatively higher prices, such as 2010 and 2013, the Government procured less than in years
of relatively lower prices, such as 2009 and 2012 (Figure 28). Looking at the evolution of
procurement and its share in total production, there seems to be a positive correlation
between quantity produced and procured (Figure 29).
Difference between wholesale rice price and cost of boro production increased
In 2014 boro procurement season, and for a second consecutive year, the average
wholesale price of coarse rice continued to remain higher than the average cost of
production (Table 23). While the production cost has been steadily increasing since
2007/08, the wholesale price during boro season – computed as the April-to-June average
price of each fiscal year – followed an erratic trend over the reference period (Figure 28).
The trend in procurement, wholesale price, and production costs for both aman and boro
over the reference period is depicted in Table 23. Procument prices have exceeded
production costs in all the years (except 2007/08 for boro), implying that the policy of
providing incentive to farmers is working.
The impact of procurement on price at the time of harvest is less distortive when price
information is readily available for farmers and other marketing agents. The Government is
accordingly trying to make early announcement of the procurement price.

Boro procurement remained closer to target while wholesale market price increased
In 2013/14 (boro season 2014), 97% of the boro procurement target was achieved, up from
81% registered in the previous year, reverting to the 2011/12 level (Table 21). The years of
low achievement usually coincide with seasons of high or rising market price, which
constitutes sufficient incentives to farmers and makes procurement redundant. However,
2011 and 2014 represent exceptions, as boro procurement remained closer to target even
though market prices were increasing. This could be explained by the behaviour of
international prices and the need for public stock building.
Mismatch between actual and budget closing stock widened
Closing stock for 2013/14 consists of domestic procurement and import minus off-take,
occurring in the same year. In 2013/14 the mismatch between actual closing stock and
target closing stock widened, with actual stock representing 81% of target, down from
previous year’s 94%. The gap increased due to lower domestic procurement (1.4 MMT) and
81
import (0.93 MMT) than what was planned (1.6 and 1.25 MMT, respectively), while the level
of actual off-take remained close to the target (2.6 MMT and 2.7 MMT, respectively).
The trend in actual closing stock as percentage of the target has been quite unstable during
the reference period, with a maximum (114%) registered in 2009/10 and a minimum of 47%
in 2010/11, mainly due to record high level off-take in the same year.
Distribution through open market sales increased
Open Market Sales (OMS) is a monetized distribution channel implemented to stabilize
foodgrain price. Originally introduced in the late 1980s to stabilize the market prices during
the lean seasons of September-November and January-April, OMS was strengthened in
response to the 2007/08 food price crisis. OMS rice distribution constituted around 1.0% of
total annual rice supply over recent years. In 2013/14, the proportion reached 0.8% up from
0.17% only registered over the previous year. This was in line with the increased coarse rice
price relative to 2012/13. Procurement prices in 2013/14 were slightly lower than wholesale
prices but slightly above production costs (Table 21).
Even though this annualized OMS percentage figure is not of great magnitude, the
importance of OMS in price stabilization must not be underestimated. Typically, this
intervention channel is seasonal and targets urban areas and poor households. While the
empirical analysis on OMS is scanty,
anecdotal evidence suggests that the
instrument is beneficial for urban poor
during lean periods. Distribution
through OMS as proportion of total
channelled Public Food Distribution
System (PFDS) reached 29% in 2013/14,
up from 16% in the previous year and
from 20% in 2007/08. The record high
distribution through OMS was in
2010/11, representing 39% of
distribution through PFDS during the
year153
.
5.3.2 Policy developments/programmes under way and need for further action
Programme 8 of CIP accounts for 393 million USD representing 3% of total CIP budget of
2013/14, of which 284 million USD is already financed (89% by GoB and 11% by DPs), as of
June 2014. Total budget allocation for programme 8 increased by 11% over the previous
year. The programme consists of three sub-programmes with a total of 5 completed, 4
ongoing and 4 pipeline projects. Under sub-programme 8.3, on increasing and modernizing
public food storage and handling facilities, it is concentrated the bulk of the programme’s
budget (97%). The sub-programme consists of 5 completed, 4 ongoing and 3 pipeline
projects. Budget delivery for this programme decreased to 43 million USD from 61 million
USD in 2012/13 and from 29 million USD in 2010/11, the first year of CIP implementation. As
153
This represents distribution under OMS alone. If distribution through Fair Price Card (FPC), Freedom Fighter and 4th class Government
employee categories are taken into account – as is done in many reportings - OMS would account for 52% of total distribution through
PFDS.

programme’s financed budget.
Expanding food storage capacity
The Modern Food Storage Facility Project (MFSFP) aims to improve food storage capacity
both quantitatively and qualitatively, by developing eight modern grain silos at strategic
locations (Table 24) and adopting preservation technologies to ensure grain quality,
reduction of storage losses, preserve grain nutritional content, improve monitoring,
governance and management of food stocks.
While the bulk of the funding (about 70%) will be used to build serve the modern silo
facilities, the project will also support: the construction of small scale silos at household
level; the implementation of Social and Environmental Management Plans; the capacity
development of the DG Food and FPMU.

Needs for further action in this area include:
� Strengthen capacities to manage PFDS through training and technological
adoption: The efficiency and effectiveness of the public food management system
depends critically on investing to: support human capacity development, through
staff training; establish the Centre for Food Management Training and Operational
Research; build modern storage facilities to cope with climate change impact;
establish decentralized laboratories to test food grain quality; digitalize stock
management and PFDS operations. The implementation of MFSFP is responding to
those instances by providing institutional capacity enhancement and skill
development of the DG Food and supporting a series of studies specifically related to
public food management, to be coordinated by the FPMU.
� Boost public procurement system’s effectiveness through applied research:
Domestic procurement largely depends on foodgrain price, cost of production, and
their difference. However, sometimes procurement increases even with increasing
price. This underlines that investigating on the inter-linkages between producer,
market and procurement prices is still a priority, as quantitative evidence remains
scanty. The implications of different procurement prices on the effectiveness of
public distribution system, taking into account the impact on incentives, need to be
established. In order to flexibly use domestic procurement and foodgrain imports,
83
more research on foodgrain domestic and international markets, and on estimating
private food grain stocks is also essential. The MFSFP will accordingly conduct large
surveys to estimate food stocks in the country. Moreover, additional efforts are
required for anticipating announcements on procurement price. Overall
effectiveness of domestic procurement on market price is not likely to be high
because procurement constitutes a tiny portion of total rice supply in the country. To
prevent small farmers’ distress sale during harvest, storage loan in line with the
SHOGUREP (Shoshya Gudam Reen Prokolpo) model may be expanded in the country.
� Plan PFDS operations consistently with NSPS and emergency response needs:
While GoB is expanding food operations by constructing more food storage
capacities, the newly formulated NSPS suggests moving from food to cash -based
transfer programmes. While some food-based programmes will continue to run (for
instance, school feeding, therapeutic feeding programmes for undernourished
children, OMS operations and disaster relief), this may decelerate the increase in
volume of food-based operations in support of the poor. It is therefore important to
plan PFDS operations accordingly, primarily stock rotations, by identifying adequate
channels and minimizing distorting impacts on the market. This would require
adopting a flexible approach to divert food stock rotation flows towards safety net
programmes in years when there is lesser need for price stabilization or disaster
relief interventions. For example, within workfare based programmes, participants
could be remunerated, with a flexible mix of both cash and food, which could vary
depending on the volume of stocks.
5.4. Programme 9: Institutional development and capacity development for more
effective safety nets
Programme 9 aims to improve the effectiveness and targeting of social safety nets by
investing in institutional and capacity development via two sub-programmemes: (1)
strengthen institutional capacities to effectively operate social safety net programmes and
to formulate a new integrated strategy; (2) invest in income and employment generation
through social safety nets. Programme 9 is aligned with two AoIs in NFP PoA: improvements
in coverage and effectiveness of emergency food distribution from public stocks (PoA AoI
2.2) and improvements in targeting, leakage, coverage and adequacy of food-based safety-
net programmes (PoA AoI 2.4).

Decreasing trend in share of expenditure on social safety nets
In nominal terms, the total SSN budget for 2013/14 slightly increased to 190 billion taka
from 175 billion taka in 2012/13, and is expected to further increase to 226 billion taka in
the 2014/15.
The share of social safety nets’ (SSN) spending154
in GDP has further declined in 2013/14 to
1.61% from 1.68% in 2012/13, after a downward revision in 2013/14 revised budget (Table
25). The decline in SSN expenditure as a percentage of GDP is progressively slowing down,
after peaking at 2.12% in 2010/11. However, provisional figure for 2014/15 reverse this
downward trend with SSN spending reaching 2.3% of GDP and projections for 2017/18 up to
2.7% of the GDP155
. Share of food
security programmes in SSN budget
remained between 37% and 42% over
the period 2009/10 – 2013/14.
SSN spending as share of total GoB
budget steadily declined for four
consecutive years - from 12.9% in
2010/11, to 8.8% in 2013/14. Similarly,
the share of SSN in overall social
protection spending156
has constantly
decreased over the same period - from
80.2% in 2010/11, to 71.2% in 2013/14 -
but is expected to increase to 73.5% in
2014/15 (Figure 31).
Coverage of VGF decreased while that of VGD increased
The budgeted coverage of Vulnerable Group Feeding (VGF) decreased down to 65 lakh
persons in 2013/14 from 85 lakh persons in 2012/13. However, the quantity of food
distributed under VGF and Gratuitous Relief (GR) increased by 58%, reaching 0.48 MMT in
2013/14 up from 0.3 MMT in 2012/13, probably due to the necessity of quicker stock
rotation in a year of higher procurement. The higher volume distributed through these
channels reflects the increased food staple availability.
The Vulnerable Group Development (VGD) programme, typically development oriented,
includes a training/schooling component, in addition to providing support to destitute rural
women157
. In 2013/14, VGD coverage increased marginally to 91 lakh person months from
90 lakh in 2012/13, after remaining stable at 88 lakh person months for the previous three
years (Table 25).
Information available from the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs (MoWCA) showed
that from 2001 to 2015, the cumulative number of beneficiaries stood at 4350,000 under
the VGD programme. The selected women are given fortified rice in 10 Upazilas that

ensures improvement of the family members’ nutritional needs. An impact evaluation on
VGD, done by RDA and BARD revealed that as a result of participation in VGD programme,
womens’ decision making in the family and society increased. Their awareness on intake of
nutritious food, safe drinking water, sanitation and health seeking behaviour also increased.
Increased coverage of employment
generation programme for the poorest
The Employment Generation Programme
for the Poorest (EGPP), active since 2009,
is a public work-programme initiative for
the poorest. EGPP aims to support poor
households’ livelihoods by providing
temporary short-term employment, i.e.
80 working days per person, on local/rural
infrastructure projects, during the lean
seasons. In 2013/14, the budgeted
coverage of EGPP increased to 4.9 million
from 4.2 million person months since
2012/13, and for the first time registered
a level higher than 2009/10 (Table 25).
EGPP has recently tested innovations in
three focus areas: Targeting, Governance,
and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E).
Firstly, to improve Targeting for better
coverage of the poorest households,
geographical cut-off points were
introduced, by clustering Upazilas in high,
moderate and low pockets with high
poverty density. At household level, the Programme applied self-targeting through below
market wage. Secondly, to ameliorate Governance EGPP set up clear operation rules and
greater transparency, for instance by: publicly disclosing at community level upcoming
public works schemes and related information; by improving payment system, with the
involvement of banks and formal financial channels; by strengthening MoDMR’s field
capacity for programme implementation, provision of training and logistic support. Lastly, to
refine M&E, EGPP contributed to reinforce monitoring capacity of MoDMR by developing
summary indicators and set up a Management Information System (MIS) to make
programme information readily available for decision-making.
Institutional development
Some of the innovations contributed to improve programme performance with better
targeting – by 2014, 90% of participants were extremely poor and included the targeted
33% of women - and generated almost 28 million person-days of employment per each of
the seven phases, throughout the period 2011 – 2014158
. According to the proposed reform
of the new National Social Protection Strategy (NSPS), all workfare programmes under
MoDMR and MoLGRDC would be consolidated under EGPP by July 2018. The lessons

Box 8: Testing acceptability of fortified rice by
beneficiaries of VGD and VGF
BRAC carried out a study on the acceptability of
fortified rice (pushti chal) among 808 participants,
randomly selected from beneficiaries of VGD and VGF
programmes, respectively from Kurigram Sadar (400)
and Satkhira Sadar (408). Overall, fortified rice was
rated ‘excellent’ or ‘good’ by 95% of respondents in
Kurigram Sadar and 78% in Satkhira Sadar, with
associated positive change in health (such as weight
gain, fewer disease cases, and improved appetite)
reported by 53% and 16% respectively in the two
groups. More than 90% of respondents in both areas
stated that they would buy pushti chal if available in
the market, although the large majority of
respondents (65% and 87% respectively) would not
be willing to pay a premium price for it.
The study found a strong correlation among the
receipt of awareness messages and the depth of
acceptance of fortified rice and willingness to pay.
This suggests that awareness campaign may be
effective in motivating purchase and consumption of
pushti chal.

learned in terms of targeting of beneficiaries and of establishing M&E activities were useful
to shape the new NSPS. At institutional level, NSPS prioritizes the establishment of (1) the
Ministry of Social Development (MSD) in place of the Ministry of Social Welfare; (2) the
National Social Security Agency (NSSA); (3) a Single Registry Management Information
System (MIS); (4) a Complaints and Grievance Mechanism; (5) Results based M&E System
(Programme 7).
5.4.2 Policy developments/programmes underway and needs for further action
Programme 9 of CIP channelled 1,792 million USD representing 14% of total CIP budget of
2013/14, of which 1,449 million USD is already financed (54% by GoB and 46% by DPs), as of
June 2014. Total budget allocation for programme 9 increased by 17% over the previous
year. It consists of two sub-programmes with a total of 12 completed, 23 ongoing and 11
pipeline projects. The budget of this programme was most entirely allocated through sub-
programme 9.2 (84%), on investment in employment and income generation of social safety
nets. In 2013/14, budget delivery for this programme increased to 313 million USD from 304
million USD in 2012/13 and from 141 million USD in 2010/11, the first year of CIP
implementation. As of June 2014, cumulative delivery was 1,010 million USD, which
corresponds to 70% of the programme’s financed budget.
Implement national social protection strategy
Built upon a series of background studies, regional and thematic stakeholders’
consultations, the National Social Protection Strategy (NSPS) now requires implementation.
The Strategy will pave the way to the development of the new Social Protection Policy by
July 2015. The new NSPS aims at expanding coverage of social protection to the poorest and
at improving effectiveness and efficiency of financial resource allocated by introducing a
number of Programme’s reforms (Table 26), which include: consolidating the plethora of
initiatives under fewer programmes; adopting a life cycle approach to cluster programmes;
prioritizing interventions for vulnerable women, pregnant women and early childhood, in
particular, programmes in favour of children (from 0 to 4 years).
Incorporate nutritional BCC in NSPS
In April 2012, the transfer Modality Research Initiative (TMRI), a joint effort between WFP,
IFPRI and GoB, investigated the most effective type of social safety net transfer for the rural
ultra-poor in Bangladesh. The analysis focused on the impact of the transfer modalities -
including the Nutrition behaviour change communication (BCC) component - on income,
expenditure on food and non-food consumption, daily food energy intake and nutritional
status of children. After a first baseline survey (April 2012), a first follow up (June 2013) and
an endline survey (April 2014) were conducted on 4,000 TMRI participants and 1,000 non-
participants control households, in 500 ramdomly selected villages (250 in the North and
250 in the South). The five transfer modalities examined were: Cash only (North and South);
Food only (North and South); Food + Cash (North and South); Nutrition BCC + Cash (North),
Nutrition BCC + Food (South). While all the transfers modalities caused meaningful
improvements in nearly all measures of consumption (i.e. expenditure on food and non-
food consumption, calorie intake, and diet quality), the addition of BCC to transfers
consistently determined considerably larger improvements than transfer alone. In
particular, Nutrition BCC + Cash had a larger impact on diet quality (in terms of food
87
consumption score), and was the only modality to significantly reduce child stunting (in the
North).
Nutrition BCC together with transfers – especially cash transfers – seem to deliver large
improvements in terms of better diets, child nutrition and anthropometric outcomes.
Moreover, nutrition BCC also had a positive impact on women empowerment and social
status159
. These outcomes are highly relevant for the implementation of NSPS.

Strengthen institutional reform
According to the proposed reform of the new National Social Protection Strategy (NSPS),
and coherently with the proposed consolidation of social protection programme structure,
all workfare programmes under MoDMRC and MoLGRDC should be consolidated under
EGPP by July 2018. The lessons learned in terms of targeting of beneficiaries and of
establishing M&E activities need to be applied in the National Social Protection Strategy
(NSPS).
Account for interdependency of food transfer programmes and public grain stock
management
NSPS recommended to consolidate all food-based programmes into monetary transfer
programmes. The Strategy suggested maintaining operational the emergency food
distribution for as a disaster relief response. However, to ensure adequate maintenance of
buffer stocks, in years when emergency requirements are minimal, food distribution needs
to be integrated into SSN to ensure stock rotation and avoid spoilage. In other words, in
years where no or low-level disaster response is required there will be still need to integrate
cash transfers with food transfers to effectively manage foodgrain stocks. However, PFDS is
affected by the implementation of self-sufficiency policy and by production trends, which
means that food transfers programmes are also affected by production trends (see
Programme 8). The expanding effective foodgrain storage capacity suggests that public
stocks will continuously be used in the next years for emergency programmes, to be
integrated with cash transfers.
From safety net to market-driven employment for women: the SWAPNO programme
Strengthen Women’s Ability for Productive New Opportunities (SWAPNO, 2014-2019)
programme, a joint initiative of UNDP, ILO and the Local Government Division, aims to
create opportunities for decent jobs and secure livelihoods, and to promote inclusive and
sustainable business practice.
The primary beneficiaries of SWAPNO were 2,600 destitute women of ultra poor and most
vulnerable households in 72 Unions of Kurigram district. The programme will be replicated
for other 1,900 women in Satkhira district. The beneficiaries will be engaged in 18-month
employment tenure for maintenance and rehabilitation of community assets, as well as
non-infrastructural public works and community services. SWAPNO introduces the
conditionality of saving a portion of wages to obtain a graduation bonus, a one-off transfer
providing initial capital for self-employment, basic households’ needs, or further training
and educational development. SWAPNO not only supports women self-employment by
providing assistance in starting and operating micro-enterprises, but also their
employability. The programme’s sustainability is centred around exploiting market-driven
employment opportunities, by vocational skills training, by focusing on synergies with Small
and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and through Public-Private partnership with the
Programme, to incentivize the absorption of programme’s trained women in rural non-farm
and off-farm SMEs160

E-financial inclusion and poverty alleviation through households farming: Ekti Bari Ekti
Khamar - (one house one farm)
Similar to SWAPNO, the Ekti Bari Ekti Khamar (One House One Farm, EBEK) project aims to
move away from the simple provision of subsistence transfers through safety nets, towards
sustaining market-driven employment and income opportunities. EBEK started in 2010 with
a budget of 150 million USD for 9,640 villages, and was subsequently scaled up in 2013 to
around 316 million USD for 40,527 villages. The project aims at: (i) assisting in capital
formation of poor rural households; (ii) empowering and strengthen skills of poor farmers,
in particular women, through technical and motivational training (iii) enabling formation of
farm organizations, needs based assessment and decision making, and (iv) supporting
creation of adequate marketing facilities.
The primary activities of EBEK include: the creation of 81,000 village development
organizations (VDO) of 60 members, 63% of which female; the introduction of electronic
devices for fund mobilization; the provision of a bonus incentive – 2.5 USD per households
per month - conditional to households’ savings of the same amount, over the same period;
financially support the cooperatives by providing 1,920 USD per year; developing marketing
centres at sub-district and union level, and food processing and cold storage facilities161
. As
of October 2014, more than 40,527 VDO were formed and the number of beneficiaries
reached 2.5 million individuals. VDO savings reached 75 million USD and the same amount
of projects grants was released, and 105 million USD granted by the Government directly to
VDOs. Skill development training was provided to 134,400 people. Total on-line transaction
stimulated by EBEK reached 201 million USD and involved 2.1 million households162
.
The establishment of a gender behaviour monitoring system
Funded by GoB, UK Aid and Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC), the Economic
Empowerment of the Poorest Programme (EEP)/SHIREE (Stimulating Household
Improvements Resulting in Economic Empowerment, 2008 - 2015) aims to eradicate
extreme poverty by focusing on the sustainable livelihoods of the bottom 10% of the
population. Specifically, EEP/SHIREE funds a variety of programmes to enable over 1 million
people to lift themselves out of extreme poverty and achieve sustainable livelihoods by
2015. Among the Programme outputs163
, one is nutrition-oriented to direct nutrition
support integration across SHIREE Scale Fund. This includes testing and evaluating
innovative approaches to improve protein intake among various key groups.
In the context of developing new approaches, an agreement was made to develop a new
Change Monitoring System (CMS) survey tool called the Gender Behaviour Monitoring
System (GBMS). The GBMS aims to allow more frequent monitoring of impacts of the newly
rolled out gender-focused Behaviour Change Counselling (BCC) modules as a part of the
Nutrition Component. Finally, the GBMS will enable NGO field level follow-up on GBMS data

by focusing on those beneficiaries’ households that are showing negative gender
behaviour164
.
Needs for further action in this area include:
� Prioritize and target the implement of National Social Protection Strategy: NSPS
targets half of the population of Bangladesh as different programmes’ beneficiaries.
While this ambitious target is commendable, in a context of increasing budgetary
pressure on public finances, it underlines the need for: balancing universal (e.g. child
grants) versus targeted (e.g. EGPP) programmes; for programmes’ prioritization in
financial resources allocation; and for addressing the trade-off between increasing
the beneficiaries’ transfer size to the (better targeted) poorest and enlarging the
total number of beneficiaries, in order to achieve the maximum possible welfare.
The clarification of the trade-off and the costing of the strategy’s implementation
remain top priorities in the policymakers’ agenda. While the lifecycle approach is
certainly an improvement, stronger emphasis should be given to programmes
targeting the first 1000 days of life. This is deemed particularly important, as lack of
childcare during infancy can: contribute to child underweight, stunting and wasting;
jeopardize infant well-being and cognitive development; and in turn, affect
negatively productivity levels, and increase national healthcare costs.
� Integrate and expand market-driven initiatives and community participation in SSN
programmes: The instances of making more efficient use of public spending due to
increasing budgetary pressure, create opportunities for the integration of market-
driven initiatives into safety net programmes and creating spillover effects. For
instance, in SWAPNO a clear effort is made to link safety net programmes with the
market: the technical and motivational training and conditional grants are provided
to improve employability of beneficiaries, and to respond to local market demand
for skilled labour. EBEK’s innovative approach to capital formation and
empowerment of poor households need to be scaled up. Multiplier effects can be
generated in the local economy, by creating skilled labour supply for those rural
SMEs and by involving formal credit system. In this context, it is fundamental for
SMEs to provide their feedback to the training programmes component in order to
improve employability opportunities of programmes’ beneficiaries.
� Establish a single registry management information system (MIS): For effective
management of SSN, a high quality MIS is required. It is therefore essential to make
readily available to policy makers comprehensive national level performance data
informing the status of the major national schemes. To this end, MSD will
commission a review of MIS across SSN in Bangladesh to assess the feasibility of
setting up an interlinked scheme of independent MIS. Full functioning of the
interlinked system will face the initial challenge of harmonizing the different
systems, that includes adopting similar software, creating adequate capacity for
system management and daily maintenance and utilizing telecommunication
networks for data transmission.
� Adapt cash and food transfers coherently with the food stock management
strategy: In the EGPP independent evaluation, IFPRI found higher leakages in food
164

transfer programmes compared to cash transfer programmes. This contributed to
support the tendency towards augmenting cash against food components in NNS
programmes, for instance in EGPP programme. Food transfers will continue playing
an important role through emergency distribution, OMS for price stabilization and
for stock rotation. This implies that integrating cash transfers with food transfers in
years when no disaster response measure is required for adequate goodgrain stock
management and avoiding stock spoilage. To make food/cash transfer systems more
flexible, convertibility between cash and food based transfers needs to be
established. In this context, national foodgrain storage capacity is expanding on an
increasing trend, with estimation pointing at 2.6 million MT by 2020 (Programme 8).
The expanding foodgrain effective storage capacity suggests that public stocks will
continuously be used in the next years for emergency programmes, and to integrate
cash transfers, provided that growth in foodgrain production (or domestic
availability) is sustained.
� Explore the preparation of a roadmap for fortified rice: The relevant line ministries
(e.g. MoWCA and MoF) should prepare a roadmap for distribution of fortified rice
with a budget and targets for the coming years. This roadmap should be submitted
to the MoF for estimating budget availability. Fortified rice distribution could be
integrated in food transfer programmes. The positive results in terms of acceptability
study by BRAC for introducing pushti chal into the market can contribute to better
diets and improve nutritional status. Production of biofortified rice should be
pursued which will require additional investment over a longer term period, by the
Ministry of Agriculture.

6. Utilization: progress towards CIP and NFP PoA outputs
Actions to improve food utilization for nutrition constitute the third pillar of the National
Food Policy, its Plan of Action, and investments covered under the CIP programmes 10, 11
and 12. An update is provided on community based nutrition programmes and services;
food security and nutrition information data; and food safety, quality and control including
consumer protection and public health. The three programmes are in alignment with the
eight areas of intervention under the third objective of the NFP PoA (see Annex 1).
6.1. Programme 10: Community based nutrition programmes and services
Programme 10 covers community based nutrition programmes that are linked to and
supported by the Government services, implemented primarily through the Operational
Plan of National Nutrition Services (NNS). The aim is to enhance coverage, access and
outreach of a comprehensive package of direct nutrition interventions (DNI) for local
communities, with an emphasis on mothers and children. The programme envisages
strengthened complementarities and coordination of sectors engaged in nutrition. This
programme corresponds to the NFP PoA AoIs 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.7 and 3.8 on promoting
balanced and nutritious food for vulnerable people; food based programmes and growth
monitoring of children; nutrition education on dietary diversification; food supplementation
and fortification; women and children’s health; and protection, promotion and support of
breastfeeding and appropriate complementary feeding.

Figure 32: Exclusive and predominant

Slow down in rate of 6 months’ exclusive breastfeeding
Interventions to protect, promote and support breastfeeding improve child survival,
averting over one-tenth of deaths among children younger than five years of age. In line
with global recommendations, Bangladesh promotes early initiation of breastfeeding within
one hour after birth. BDHS estimates showed a marked increase in the prevalence of
exclusive breastfeeding from 43% in 1993 to 64% in 2011, with a fall to 59.7% in 2013165
,
and in 2014 the rates show a further drop to 55.3%.
FSNSP 2013 results show that exclusive breastfeeding rates have declined to 45% from 51%
in 2011 and stand at 41% as of 2013, which is below the 50% goal set by 65th
World Health
Assembly. The large variation noted between 2012 and 2013 in some divisions though not
statistically significant, is a matter of
concern. While the rate of exclusive
breastfeeding has fallen between 2010
and 2013, the rate of predominant
breastfeeding remained constant. Figure
32 shows the rates of exclusive and
predominant breastfeeding in recent
years.
There is little variation in exclusive
breastfeeding rates between food
secure and food insecure households or
by wealth quintile, though a slightly
higher proportion of poor or food
insecure households practised exclusive
breastfeeding. The association between
child's sex and rates of exclusive breastfeeding was noted to be statistically insignificant in
2013, with a slightly higher proportion of male infants being exclusively breastfed compared
to female infants. On the whole, there is poor knowledge of the benefits and recommended
duration of breastfeeding and widespread misconceptions of mothers being unable to
produce milk sufficient to meet their baby's needs166,167
.
Complementary feeding has remained unchanged
In spite of the relatively higher exclusive breastfeeding rate, major gaps in complementary
feeding (CF) - share of children fed with a minimum acceptable diet is as low as 31% - have
major impacts on chronic malnutrition in addition to hygiene, parasitic infection and related
care practices. It is noted that though exclusive breastfeeding is an essential factor in
reducing stunting, it is not per se sufficient in the absence of other necessary health, care
and food practices. Figure 33 shows the trends in minimum dietary diversity and intake of
iron rich foods as part of CF in the recent years.

Childhood stunting is an outcome of
maternal under nutrition, inadequate
infant and young child feeding and poor
sanitation- a correlate of impaired
neurocognitive development, and a risk
marker for non –communicable diseases
and reduced productivity later in life168
.
A comprehensive approach is needed to
increasing breastfeeding with a focus on
reducing socio-economic disparities,
improving parental leave policies,
flexible work schedules and health
benefits for low wage workers and
access to child care that can ease
transition to work for the mother. An end-line survey on IYCF practices in Bangladesh shows
that a national comprehensive programme - consisting of advocacy, interpersonal
communication and community mobilization, mass communication, and strategic use of
data, led to rapid improvements in seven breastfeeding and complementary feeding
behaviours critical for child growth and development. From 2010 to 2014, the percentage of
infants under six months who were exclusively breastfed increased from 49 to 86 percent in
areas that received the comprehensive intervention package (exclusive breastfeeding
remained stable at around 50 percent in mass media only areas). Additionally, the
proportion of children who consumed a
diverse diet increased by 30 percentage
points169
.
Integrated farming shows
improvement in diets and nutrition
Linking agriculture with nutrition is one
of the central goals of the National
Agriculture Policy and the Country
Investment Plan. FSNSP estimates
(Table 27) show an increase in the
percentage of poor households raising
home gardening and backyard poultry
from 2011 to 2013 (42% to 46.1%). With
regard to the share of dietary energy
supplies for consumption, the
contribution of cereals to dietary energy
continues to have a major share with
limited supply diversification due to
poor contribution from non cereals
foods. Baseline estimates from a Poultry
Biosecurity and Production Project170
being implemented in selected districts of the South
pointed that almost 99% of households owned backyard and small scale commercial poultry

Box 9: Leveraging agriculture for food security and
nutrition of women and children
The Departments of Agriculture Extension, Fisheries and
Livestock are strengthening inter sectoral collaboration
and coordination and leveraging institutional
participation of nutrition sensitive projects towards
strengthening the enabling environment for dialogue;
improving capacity of the Government, civil society and
farmers so as to maximize the delivery on nutrition
outcomes. The projects have been providing technical
support to over 55,000 households, across agriculture
(horticulture, fisheries and livestock) and health sectors
to positively exploit their comparative role for improving
nutrition. Agriculture and food based nutrition training,
nutrition behaviour change communications, farmer
database, GIS, knowledge bank, co targeting for common
activities and gender mainstreaming are key elements of
strengthening. Food security and agriculture programs
must move away from the calorie intake and income
oriented measures of adequacy to nutrition-based
measures to successfully leverage agriculture for better
nutrition.

in rural Bangladesh. Box 9 summarizes some of the key elements of two ongoing nutrition
sensitive projects in the South.
Farmer nutrition schools and farmer field schools are established in collaboration with
Government extension departments and are targeting resource poor households with
pregnant and lactating women having children under two years. Seeds and support to
homestead food production during the planting seasons and to promote year round
vegetable production are provided through a large number of ongoing programmes and
projects171,172
in collaboration with the institutional arrangements that link the NNS and DoF
and DLS in nutrition sensitive interventions.
Gender differentiation in dietary
energy intake
Undernourishment in the population is
reported to be a consequence of
inadequate food (energy) intake,
underlying diseases, with females being
at higher risk and those economically
more vulnerable. Calculations on
consumption unit (kcal) for household
members in all age groups show that
although mean calorie intake is about
2190 kcal, disaggregated adult
consumption units show that in age
group 18-29.9 years males are getting 2594 kcal energy and females of the same age group
are getting about 2049 kcal pointing to gender differences in energy intake (Figure 34).
Increase in nutrient contribution from animal source food supply
Animal foods notably livestock, fish, milk and poultry that provide good quality protein,
essential fatty acids and micronutrients (zinc, iron, calcium and preformed vitamin A) play a
critical role in growth and stunting reduction. Table 28 shows the supply of protein and fat
from animal sources as percentage of total dietary energy. As indicated in Programmes 4
and 5, livestock and fisheries are growing at an increasing rate to meet the growing demand
for protein and bioavailable micronutrients. Therefore, animal food sources should be
available and accessible to the poor so as to improve the nutritional quality of household
diets emerging from diversified food supplies.

feeding interventions
SHIKHA project engages 4,830 community volunteers,
395 community health workers and 667 nutrition
workers through BRAC and trains them in maternal
nutrition and infant and young child feeding.
Community-activities focus on changing feeding practice
behaviours through five core interventions: home visits,
where nutrition workers record every pregnancy in the
community in a registry and follow up with mothers
until their children are 2 years old, for a total of 16
home visits ― 4 visits during pregnancy and 12 visits
after the child is born; mobilization, with project staff
engaging fathers of children under 2 and doctors to
encourage good infant and young child feeding
behaviour in the community; health forums, community
meetings to discuss health and hygiene practices;
antenatal and postnatal visits. Media campaigns in
1,351 villages in project sub-districts have been
executed.

Nutrition sensitive projects are also
serving as useful models for scaling up.
Using nutrition criteria for targeting poor,
most vulnerable and food insecure
households, an ongoing project
implemented by DLS is making significant
contribution towards reducing food
insecurity and malnutrition of women
and children by enhancing backyard
poultry and small scale poultry
production in the Southern delta region
covering 10 intervention unions of five
upazilas in Khulna and Barisal. Another
ongoing project SHIKHA is working to
reduce undernutrition among pregnant
women and children under the age of 2
years in 26 sub districts in Bangladesh
(Box 10).
Micronutrient adequacy in household diets
Diversified diets are among the main keys to combating problems of micronutrient
malnutrition or hidden hunger. Figure 35 show the range of fish species being consumed per
capita among households in
Bangladesh.
The mean fish intake was
noted to be
50.3g/person/day and the
dominant types of fish
eaten are puti, tilapia,
rhui/katla, pangash and
carp but other types of fish
are also found in the menu
of Bangladesh (Figure 35).
The diversity of fish species
consumption in Bangladesh
is very high. Indigenous fish
are a rich source of

bioavailable micronutrients; animal protein, and some, for example hilsa, has a high content
of fat and beneficial polyunsaturated fatty acids173
. Even though the quantity of fish
consumed may be low, the high frequency of fish consumption and diversity of fish species
taken in particular small indigenous species, have marked implications for nutrition174
. Iron
present in fish such as darkina (Esomus danricus) is in haem form with a bioavailbility of
25%. Fish also has an enhancing effect on non haem iron and zinc absorption from the diet.
In terms of diversity of meat intake, chicken and beef are largely consumed (Figure 36).
Bangladesh has a rich genetic diversity of native chickens (Red Jungle Fowl - Gallus gallus),
available through smallholder backyard scavenging, with each family keeping an average of
6-7 chickens to meet family requirements. The per capita dietary intake of animal source
foods plays a critical role in growth, physical and cognitive development given their
contribution to protein, fat and micronutrients in the diet. Consumption of higher bio-
available animal source vitamin A and
iron progressively decrease as
households are increasingly food
insecure175
.
Eggs and meat provides both women
and children with all the essential amino
acids, Vitamin K, Vitamin B12, iodine and
iron which are especially important for
growth and immunity176
. Evidence from
selected districts illustrates that the
consumption of egg is higher than meat
among pregnant and lactating women
and children (6-23 months). More
specifically, children aged 6-23 months
(56%) and pregnant women (46%) have higher egg consumption. Enhancing awareness to
increase the consumption of meat and egg among pregnant and lactating women and young
children should be continued.
Update on acute child malnutrition
While national estimates177
continue to point to the problem of acute child under nutrition,
there is a slight decline in global acute malnutrition from 15.6% in 2011 to 14.3% in 2014
and in severe acute malnutrition from 4% to 3.1% during the same period. Across wealth
quintile, 17.5% among lowest quintile and surprisingly, 12.8% in the highest quintile are
acutely malnourished (< - 2SD). Other estimates of acute malnutrition from FSNSP 2013
show unchanged prevalence of 12% across divisions.

Need for increasing adequate ANC coverage
Care during pregnancy confers marked beneficial effect on pregnancy outcomes. Women
who do not receive clinical antenatal care (ANC) have significantly greater chances of
miscarriage compared to those who attend a clinic during their first trimester. This indicator
refers to the proportion of
women who complete at least 4
ANC visits during pregnancy178
.
While UESD 2013 shows that the
proportion of women having at
least 4 ANC visits remains at 25%
as in BDHS 2011, FSNSP 2013
shows that about two fifths (40%)
received at least 4 ANC visits by
national level estimates.
However, the pattern varies by
division and locality, and the
differences noted also indicate
substantial variation in the
knowledge level of mothers and
their ability to access ANC. The
urban–rural differential in ANC
coverage continues to be large
with urban women being twice
more likely as rural women to
have 4 or more ANC visits. BDHS
updates point to a slight increase
from 25.6% in 2011 to 31.2% in
2014 of women having had 4 or
more ANC visits. There is need to increase the attendance of at least 4 or more ANC sessions
by pregnant women and enhance the quality of ANC179
. As part of safe motherhood and
neonatal health, there is need to strengthen postnatal care and checkups so as to assess and
treat delivery complications and to counsel mothers on how to care for themselves and
their newborn infant.
6.1.2. Policy developments/ programmes underway and needs for further action
Programme 10 of the CIP accounts for 354 million USD in 2013/14 (2.8% of the total CIP
budget) of which 333 million USD are already financed. It includes 3 sub programmes with 4
completed projects, 25 ongoing projects and 7 projects in the pipeline. During the reporting
period (2013/14) three new/pipeline projects are added with the ongoing projects of
2012/13. Many of the ongoing projects are components of the NNS and cover community
based nutrition activities. The budget of this programme was 543 million USD in 2009/10
which was decreased by 41% to 320 million USD in 2010/11 and increased by 11.6% to 357
million USD in 2011/12 and remains static at 357 million USD in 2012/13 and reduced by
0.84% to 354 million USD in 2013/14. The delivery of fund for this programme was 9.7

HPNSDP Mid Term Review, 2014
Box 11: International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2)
The Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) jointly
organized by FAO and WHO in collaboration with other UN and
development agencies was convened under the theme, “Better
Nutrition, Better Lives” at FAO Headquarters in Rome, from 19-
21 November 2014. The aim was to create consensus on how to
address major nutrition challenges, including under nutrition,
micronutrient deficiencies and overweight, with a view to
achieving the global nutrition targets by 2025 set by the World
Health Assembly. The ICN2 helped identify public policy priorities
at the national and global levels. It has also been the first high-
level intergovernmental conference on nutrition since the first
ICN organized by FAO and WHO in 1992. A key goal of the ICN2
was to achieve coherence between food supply and public health
policies, as they both contribute to food and nutrition security. It
also helped examine the best ways of scaling up proven
interventions for tackling all forms of malnutrition. The high level
Bangladesh delegation to the ICN2 included the Ministers of
Agriculture and Food, the Additional Secretary, Ministry of Health
and Family Welfare and SUN Focal Point, Joint Secretary, ERD and
other officials. MoHFW participated in SUN Global Gathering
prior to the ICN 2 from 16 to 18 November, 2014. Bangladesh is
at the centre of efforts to scale up nutrition multisectorally. As a
follow up, priority issues in strengthening agriculture and
nutrition are being taken up for implementation.

million USD in 2010/11 which increased to 15.4 million USD in 2011/12; decreased to 12.3
million USD in 2012/13 and increased to 65.5 million USD in 2013/14. However, the
cumulative delivery as of 2013/14 was 103 million USD which corresponds to 31% of the
programme’s financed budget.
Programme 10 and sub programme 10.2 include interventions to enhance micronutrient
status. The Draft National Strategy on Prevention and Control of Micronutrient Deficiencies
(NSPCMD) provides a coordinated and comprehensive approach to prevent and control
micronutrient deficiencies among the Bangladeshi population with an emphasis on
vulnerable population groups including children under five years of age, school age children,
adolescent girls, and pregnant and lactating women. The strategy is expected guide on
priority strategies that the country will focus on for a period of ten years and will be used by
the policy makers, stakeholders including Government, civil society and private
sectors/corporate implementers, researchers, UN and development partners who are
involved in designing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating micronutrient-related
programmes at the national, regional and community levels.
National Strategy on Prevention and Control of Micronutrient Deficiencies (NSPCMD)
awaits implementation
The NSPCMD covers three main sections which include: an overview of the problem of
micronutrient deficiencies and current policies; the current situation of micronutrient status
among different population groups including trend analysis, causes and risk factors; existing
intervention programmes for alleviating micronutrient deficiencies, and recommended MN
deficiency prevention and control strategies to be executed in the next ten years based on
evidence, best practices and lessons learned. It also outlines the implementation plan for
the strategies and indicators for monitoring impact. To this end, the implementation plan
covers policy, guidelines and legislation; micronutrient interventions/ programmes –
supplementation, fortification and dietary diversification; partnership and coordination;
capacity building; advocacy and communication and monitoring, evaluation and research.
CIP Programme 10 cites fortification as a supportive strategy with a potential to impact on
lowering micronutrient malnutrition in the largely rice eating Bangladesh population. As
part of sustainable food based approaches to tackling micronutrient deficiencies notably
zinc, rice biofortifed with zinc was released to farmers in Bangladesh in 2013 (refer to
discussion on Box 11).
Progress in oil and rice fortification
Bangladesh is the first country in South Asia to introduce mandatory requirements for the
fortification of refined edible oil with Vitamin A. The minimum level of Vitamin A
fortification is 0.015 mg Vitamin A per 1 gram edible oil; and the maximum level is 0.30 mg
Vitamin A per 1 gram edible oil (15 to 30 ppm).
Fortified rice is also mainstreamed in Government’s major social safety net programmes,
WFP-assisted programmes and garment factories’ corporate social responsibility
programmes. Acceptability trials in both Kurigram and Satkhira Sadars showed that
consumers were willing to purchase fortified rice (pushti chaal) instead of normal rice if it
was available in the market, and if the market price was within the price range of normal
rice. Results also indicated a strong correlation with the receipt of awareness messages and
101
the depth of acceptance of fortified rice and on the willingness to buy pushti chal at a higher
price.
Improving nutrition through SUN multisectoral and multistakeholder processes
Bangladesh has adopted the principles of the global Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement
(www.scalingupnutrition.org) and is an active participant in SUN global, regional and
national networks and activities, including a regular teleconference country call with the
global SUN Coordinator. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare serves as the focal point
for SUN in Bangladesh. To ensure that the SUN movement in Bangladesh is country-led and
aligned with national policies and strategic plans, the SUN Government Network works in
close communication and partnership with the SUN Civil Society Networks - Civil Society
Alliance for SUN Bangladesh and the Bangladesh Civil Society Network for Promoting
Nutrition. Two other Networks also provide support to the country-led process: the SUN UN
Network convened by UN REACH (a partnership between FAO, UNICEF, WFP, WHO and IFAD
which aims at strengthening multisectoral coordination, nutrition governance, advocacy and
knowledge sharing) and the SUN Donor/Development Partner Network, co-convened by
DfID and USAID. SUN Networks for business/private sector, research/academia and media
are also being explored.
Leveraging agriculture for nutrition
Mainstreaming nutrition’ within the agriculture, fisheries and livestock extension and
Women and Children’s affairs is part of the larger initiative to strengthening multisectoral
approaches to addressing undernutrition. While NNS has working partnership with other
ministries (Food, Agriculture, Fisheries and Livestock, LGRDC, Information), UN and bilateral
development partners and INGOs, it is actively engaged in expansion of SUN movement in
Bangladesh of which multiple sectors are a key part. Harmonized nutrition guidance and
strengthened monitoring are central to the SUN process and to ensure coordination and
accountability for results.
Needs for further actions in this area include:
� Scale-up of nutrition sensitive strategies in fisheries, livestock and women sectors:
Evidence shows per capita fish consumption increasing from lower to upper income
groups, in both quantity and value terms and as a proportion of expenditure on
food. An average consumer in the poorest quartile consumes just 39% of the fish
consumed by an average consumer in the richest quartile and that poorer consumers
pay a lower average price per kg for fish than better off consumers. There is need for
utilizing the biodiversity of fish species for nutrition and livelihoods of the rural poor.
Adaptive fisheries technologies need to be practised for improving fish utilization in
the diet. There is also need for training on mainstreaming nutrition in project and
programme formulation in agriculture, fisheries and livestock areas and in extension
practices.
� Improve facility and community based support to caregivers: Technical support on
knowledge of diversified diet, cooking methods, hygiene, child feeding and care
practices which involves providing effective communication and consistent messages
and scale of effective coverage of a full set of direct nutrition interventions (DNIs),
including IYCF counselling, micronutrient supplementation, nutrition screening and
management of acute malnutrition needs to be provided at various levels of
102
implementation. Quality and coverage of DNIs need to be improved through existing
outreach structures. Issues of adolescent girls’ nutrition and early pregnancy due to
early marriage should be further addressed by programmes.
� Strengthen food fortification initiatives: There is need to examine the implications
of the feasibility and overall acceptability of fortified rice in social safety net
programmes so as to inform scale up of the distribution of fortified rice. A
subsidized price would be required for people with a lower socioeconomic profile to
purchase the fortified rice in the market. A larger scale trial across different
socioeconomic profiles may provide more generalized findings if it is aimed to
market the rice to the wider public.
� Increase commitment in line with global nutrition initiatives: Bangladesh has
recently made the following commitments in line with the World Health Assembly
2012 Global Nutrition Targets to achieve by 2025, at the Nutrition for Growth
Commitments Compact in June 2013 (signed by the previous Minister of Health):
- Reduction in stunting from 41% (in 2011) to 38% (in 2016), and wasting from
16% (in 2011) to 12% (in 2016);
- 40% reduction in global number of children < 5 who are stunted;
- 50% reduction of anemia in women of reproductive age;
- 30% reduction of low birth weight;
- No increase in child overweight;
- Increase rate of exclusive breast feeding in the first six months of life up to at
least 50%;
- Reduce and maintain childhood wasting to less than 5% .
Accordingly, policy actions focus on:
Ensuring both nutrition specific and sensitive interventions are given due attention;
strengthening the national coordination mechanism for nutrition; reviewing national
safety net programmes to ensure they are nutrition sensitive and deliver improved
nutrition outcomes; mobilizing domestic and international finance to support
national efforts to improve nutrition; include in the post 2015 SDGs agenda, food
security and nutrition as a separate goal.
� Follow-up ICN2 Declaration and Framework for Action: There is need advocating for
and promoting food based nutrition that is in line with the national vision to address
problems of malnutrition on a sustainable basis. In particular, there is need for
support in nutrition training for the institutions linked with agricultural extension
and applied nutrition research and to build policy coherence and leadership to
ensure that food-based approaches to meeting the challenge of under-nutrition will
have a central role in future.
6.2. Programme 11: Orienting food and nutrition programmes through data
Programme 11 deals with use of up-to-date data and analyses to strengthen planning,
monitoring and evaluation of nutrition interventions and policies. It corresponds to NFP PoA
AoI 3.1. Updating of statistical data is essential for evidenced-based decision-making that
requires Government-led food and nutrition security surveys, information and mapping
systems, monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. Indicators and analytical tools to improve
103
the monitoring of food security and nutrition programmes at all levels are served by
periodic updates of data and research. Data is collected according to established
methodologies and criteria governing food and nutrition security and provides update on
indicators and elements that serve as reference for monitoring food and nutrition policies.
6.2.1. Progress towards achievements
Programme 11 of the CIP identifies key interventions in utilizing updated national food
composition tables, implementing research recommendations, using food consumption and
dietary assessments data, validating dietary diversity methodologies and capacity
strengthening in nutrition survey and analysis to facilitate evidence-based decision making.
Table 29 shows the progress in relation to these interventions.

Behaviour change communication (BCC) efforts increased
BCC interventions provide a supportive environment that enables people to initiate and
sustain positive and desirable behaviour outcomes. Accordingly mass media activities across
several Operation Plans (OPs) under the HPNSDP are being implemented. Telecast,
broadcast and print media had a very strong outreach, particularly among policymakers and
opinion leaders. Nearly 90 percent of the people had access to the nation's highly viewed
television and newspapers. The number of BCC activities disseminated shows an
encouraging trend: in 2009/10 at 635 to 575 in 2010/11, 685 in 2011/12, 700 in 2012/13
and 800 in 2013/14. The BCC initiatives of MoHFW, included display of 114 bill boards,
104

organization of 13 episodes of nutrition quiz show for school students and 13 episodes for
the parents of children under 2 years of age, advertised through 3 television and 3 radio
(each for 1 minute) on nutrition related issues, broadcast of 45 episodes of “Pushti Pala”
through radio, folk songs on IYCF, television filler drama on nutrition, organized nutrition
talk shows in private channels. BCC materials on IYCF have been developed and are being
telecast on TV. A total of 25,000 copies of improved complementary feeding recipes were
printed and distributed. Collaborative BCC activities with DAE, BIRTAN, BARC, MoA, MoFLS
among relevant stakeholders are also ongoing.
More systematic studies need to be
carried out to determine the
effectiveness of mass media in BCC.
However, the BCC campaign through
interpersonal communication on the
preparation of ORS solution at the
home level for the treatment of
diarrhoeal episodes in Bangladesh by
BRAC is an example of success.
Besides, the Alive and Thrive (A&T)
Initiative180
on content quality and
extent of outreach for nutrition
behaviour change through mass media
shows good impact. In addition, the
media engagement programme helped
increase support for IYCF in
Bangladesh by initiating and sustaining
a dialogue with national opinion
leaders181
.
The Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock
is promoting food based nutrition especially for the first 1000 days of life through training
materials, manuals, festoons, leaflets and bill boards182
as part of capacity building and
extension activities for mainstreaming nutrition in livestock and fisheries sectors (Box 12) .
In order to make the BCC more effective it is essential that service providers are well trained
and highly motivated. In particular, there is need to enhance the leadership for nutrition as
well as capacity for implementation.
Enhancing the use of desirable dietary pattern (DDP) and dietary guidelines
A reference for food and dietary planning using the desirable dietary pattern (DDP) has been
established by BIRDEM. The DDP was established on an assessment of the adequacy of food
and nutrient intake using the household food consumption data from HIES 2010. The DDP
proposed energy requirement for a Bangladeshi at 2430 kcal/day using the FAO/WHO
methodology with estimates computed on the basis of total energy as a summation of
various components of energy expenditure. Dietary guidelines were developed as an output

of the DDP which are to be implemented across multiple sectors aiming at mainstreaming a
nutrition orientation in agriculture, food and health planning. A total of 2000 copies of
simplified DDP booklets and 2000 copies of leaflets on dietary guidelines are being
distributed by BIRDEM and FPMU for wider use in training and planning. The clinical
nutrition and dietetics programme of BIRDEM has been using the dietary guidelines in their
training and research as also are the academic courses of universities including the
University of Dhaka. According to the Honourable Prime Minister's directives, the MoFood
has taken the initiative to implement the desirable dietary pattern and dietary guidelines in
the country with national importance.
Orientation on food composition tables (FCT)
A simplified food composition database (FCDB) and FCT documentation have been
published for public use183
. Five thousand copies of easy- to- use FCT books for the end
users were printed and distributed. The national and regional food compositional networks
benefited from this computerized FCDB and printed tables184
. Trainings have been
conducted for organizations like BBS, HKI, BRAC University, BIDS, FPMU, IPHN, NIPORT,
World Fish Centre and ICDDR,B on use of FCT, and these have been effective.
Nutrient density of the desirable diet
Nutrient density is a measure of nutrients provided per 100 kilocalories of food. The energy
(kcal/100g) and nutrient (mg or mcg/100Kcal) density of the desirable diet and actually
consumed diet in Bangladesh is shown in Table 30. The nutrient density has been calculated
for key micronutrients, notably calcium, iron, vitamin A and folic acid. Cereals, oils and
sugar provide mostly energy, but not micronutrients. On the other hand, vegetables, fruits
and animal source foods provide adequate micronutrients as well as some energy and
protein as well in the case of
animal foods. The
comparative energy and
nutrient density of the
desirable and actually
consumed diet shows that the
desirable diet is less energy
dense but more nutrient
dense. In the actually
consumed diet, the intake of
cereals which are energy
dense is much higher than
that in the desirable diet. The
intake of non-cereal nutrient
dense foods is also much
lower in the actually
consumed diet.

Nutrient returns for money spent
To calculate the nutrient profiles of commonly consumed foods in Bangladesh the Naturally
Nutrient Rich Score (NNR)185
was used186
. Five nutrients whose intake should be enhanced
in Bangladeshi diets were identified: protein, calcium, iron, vitamin A and folic acid. Scores
were calculated for these foods based on the content of these nutrients per 100 kcal.
Nutrient density versus price per 100kcal of commonly consumed foods in Bangladesh is
presented in (Figure 37). Rice, wheat and other cereals, sugars and oils are energy dense
and relatively cheaper. However, they supply much less of key nutrients compared to other
foods like pulses, eggs and leafy vegetables that have much higher nutrient return for the
same amount of money spent. Meat and fish on the other hand, are more expensive, but
the nutrient return per 100kcal is much higher. As diets become increasingly energy dense,
people consume voluminous foods which cover their energy needs, often in excess. This
gives the feeling of satiety while not supplying adequate amounts of nutrients that impacts
the nutritional quality of the meal. It is important to encourage the intake of foods which
are more nutrient dense and less energy dense so as to enhance nutrient intake, while at
the same time limiting the energy consumption and avoid the risks of overweight and
obesity.

Sources of information to update data and policy
The national and ad hoc surveys and surveillance systems while contributing to inform
nutrition sensitive policies and programmes serve to address key underlying determinants
of malnutrition and provide updates on enhanced coverage and effectiveness of nutrition
specific interventions187
. The survey findings are beneficial to poverty, gender and
emergency related concerns and fill knowledge gaps on agricultural development, food
security, nutrition and emergency needs assessment and rehabilitation. The selected food
security and nutrition surveys conducted in the reporting period are presented in Table 31.

Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis188
An IPC analysis of chronic food insecurity situation in 2014 covered 18 districts, 7 in North
and 11 in the South of Bangladesh. Out of 18 districts analyzed three are in level 2 (mild
chronic food insecurity - CFI), 14 in level 3 (moderate CFI) and 1 in level 4 (severe CFI). In
the Northern part, Kurigram is classified in Level 4; while 5 districts, Gaibandha, Lalmonirhat,
Sirajgonj, Jamalpur and Rangpur are classified in Level 3. In the South, 9 districts namely
Satkhira, Khulna, Bagerhat, Pijojpur, Barguna, Patualkili, Jkalokati, Noakhali and Laxmipur,
are classified in Level 3. Of the total population in the 18 districts, 10 percent are in level 4
and 18 percent in level 3. IPC analysis of the acute food insecurity situation in 2014 covered
4 riverine districts in Northern of Bangladesh wherein Kurigram was the worst affected and
was classified in Emergency phase 4 while Gaibandha, Sirajganj and Jamalpur are classified
in Crisis phase 3. The analysis also covered 16 Upazilas, 9 in Kurigram and 7 in Gaibandha
Districts. In the Kurigram District, 5 Upazilas are classified as Emergency phase 4; while 4 are
classified in Crisis phase 3. In Gaibandha District, 4 Upazilas are classified in Crisis phase 3.
Poor food consumption scores were noted for most of the districts. Northern Districts are
regularly adversely affected by flooding and riverbank erosions, affecting the livelihoods of
people living on the river banks. High levels of chronic poverty and poor access to improved
sources of sanitation and high child malnutrition rates are the main challenges.
Accelerating common understanding of nutrition information within health and food
systems
Two independent and interdependent information systems are in place. The MoHFW has
been operating the Nutrition Information Systems (NIS) while MoFood is operating the Food
Security Nutrition Information Systems (FSNIS). NIS monitors the coverage of essential
nutrition interventions and measures the outcomes and impact against the OP targets and
results of the NNS. A standard set of nutrition indicators are included as part of NIS into the
DGHS and DGFP management information system. Quality of routine nutrition information
in the health sector is being improved for planning and monitoring, decision-making and
advocacy by systematic data collection, analysis, interpretation and dissemination across
relevant sectors, and to evaluate progress, coverage and impact of key nutrition
interventions. NNS also aims to collaborate with relevant sectors and partners to analyze
the nutrition situation of the country, including establishing linkages with FSNSP and FSNIS.
The MoFood established a data management system that allows storage and retrieval of a
large set of data which is being used to gradually automate the production of daily and
fortnight reports by FPMU. It has a documentation centre and an electronic repository. Web
based, integrated data management systems and an electronic library are established. The
Country Investment Plan and NFP PoA under an annual monitoring exercise is being
monitored by MoFood that collects data on all project investments under the ADP on food
security and nutrition and results based indicators (see Programme 7).
6.2.2. Policy development/programmes underway and needs for further action
The budget for programme 11 of the CIP accounts for 43 million USD in 2013/14 (0.3% of
the total CIP budget) of which 42 million USD is already financed. This programme has 3 sub-
programmes, of which 6 projects are completed, 7 projects are ongoing and two projects
188

ranging evidence.
109
are in the pipeline during 2013/14. Two new projects are included in the pipeline during
2013/14. The budget increased by 5% from 22 million USD in 2009/10 to 23 million USD in
2010/11. The budget then increased by 22% from 23 million USD in 2010/11 to 28 million
USD in 2011/12 but reduced by 18% to 23 million USD in 2012/13. The budget increased by
87% to 43 million USD in 2013/14. Six projects were completed costing 2 million USD by 30
June 2014. The delivery of fund for this programme was 1.1 million USD in 2010/11 which
increased to 1.5 million USD in 2011/12, 3.6 million USD in 2012/13 and 7.4 million USD in
2013/14. The cumulative delivery as of 2013/14 was 14 million USD, which corresponds to
33% of the programme’s financed budget.
National nutrition mapping launched
Undernutrition Maps of Bangladesh 2012 were published in 2014 by BBS, partnering with
WFP and IFAD. The mapping exercise serves as a visual tool to identify the spatial variation
of undernutrition rates in Bangladesh at the administrative level. The mapping that provides
estimates of underweight and stunting for children under five years of age are statistically
valid down to upazila level. Small area estimation technique was used on the data from the
Population and Housing Census 2011, Child and Mother Nutrition Survey 2012 and Health
and Morbidity Status Survey 2012. The BBS is providing hands-on training on poverty and
undernutrition mapping jointly with the World Bank.
Global nutrition report – Bangladesh case
The global nutrition report which was launched at the ICN2 in November 2014 represented
a new contribution to strengthen policy and programmes to monitor progress in nutrition in
countries. The report supports the sustainable development goals’ accountability and serves
as a spur to improved resource allocation and to intensified action and demand for good
nutrition. The report was originally called for by the signatories of the Nutrition for Growth
(N4G) Summit Compact in 2013 in recognition of the need to better monitor commitments
to improving nutrition. Bangladesh has been showcased for its rapid reduction in child
stunting between the periods from 1997 to 2011 with the percentage of stunting declining
from 59% to 40%, nearly 1.4% points/year. It illustrates the reduction of stunting at a pace
required to meet the WHA 2025 target –through a multi dimensional approach.
Approval of draft national nutrition policy
An updated national nutrition policy has been drafted by a multisectoral committee
representing 13 sectors including UN, DP and civil society constituted by the MoHFW. The
draft nutrition policy focuses largely on direct nutrition interventions with linkages to
nutrition sensitive programmes. The inclusion of recommendations from the recent ICN2
declaration in Rome has been considered and integrated in the draft nutrition policy which
now awaits Government approval.
Needs for further action in this area include:
� Improve harmonization between food security and nutrition information systems:
Some key nutrition indicators that are consistent with some of the NIS indicators
under NNS and FSNSP are included in FSNIS. There is need to improve harmonization
and access to core users of the two systems for policy uptake and use at the field
level. Common definitions and methods need to be included so that sources from
different years can be compared and pooled to construct proper time series data.
Capacity development to understand nutrition data is important to increase the use
110
of these efforts. Large scale, multi topic, population based surveys such as the BDHS
and periodic nutrition surveys need to be carried out to enable analyzes that can
help the Government to identify key drivers of undernutrition and shape future
investments to accelerate and sustain the pace of reduction.
� Train users of FCT and dietary guidelines: The Bangladesh FCT is being used during
the reporting period by many end users in the country. In the calculation of nutrients
from food consumption data obtained from dietary and household food
consumption surveys, users from BBS, BIDS, IPHN, BRAC, FPMU and many other
organisations were trained on the use of FCT with support from NFPCSP-FAO.
Following requests from non technical users for a simple FCT booklet to enable easy
understanding of food composition and nutritive values, the FCT was simplified by
INFS and published. A high demand for the use of Bangladesh FCT in the cost of diet
analysis exercise by development partners was observed. INFS is extending
knowledge on its use through hands-on working sessions. A soft-ware on FCT for the
end users needs to be developed for easy calculation. Use of dietary guidelines is
being promoted through the joint efforts of MoFood, MoHFW and BIRDEM. Follow-
up periodic sessions on use of FCT and dietary guidelines need to be provided for
stakeholders across multiple sectors.
� Improve management capacity and coordination for nutrition: The Government is
giving high priority to nutrition from the highest level. Improved leadership,
management capacity and strong coordination across all sectors need to be
established in core departments of the ministries of agriculture, fisheries and
livestock, food, health and family welfare, women and children affairs. Both nutrition
sensitive and specific interventions require technical and operational guidance that
would help to systematize and strengthen the programmes. Building sustained
ownership between Government and development partners, the existing established
mechanism of interagency monitoring, evaluation and reporting systems for
nutrition through the NFP PoA and CIP are essential. Tracking food security and
nutrition investments across multiple agencies and contributing to results-based
programming are also valuable.
6.3. Programme 12: Food safety and quality improvement
Programme 12 aims to improve food safety and quality, and relevant surveillance of food
safety and quality. It deals with the following sub-programmes to: (1) improve the
surveillance of food-borne diseases, (2) enhance capacities of laboratories and systems for
food quality assurance; and (3) support the development of a modern food control
management system. These activities are concerned to the NFP PoA AoIs 3.5 and 3.6 which
aim to promote safe and quality food supply for national consumption and international
trade; and also to provide safe drinking water and improved sanitation facilities for all
people.
6.3.1. Progress towards achievements

Limited progress in standardization of food items
The number of compulsory food items standardized has increased from 58 in 2007/08 to 64
in 2009/10 as it includes 59 food standards and 5 non-food agricultural standards. It had
decreased to 58 in 2011/12 and has
remained static since 2012/13.
However, it slightly increased to 59 in
2013/14 (Table 32). BSTI189
as the
focal point for the Codex Alimentarius
and as the national standardization
body, is responsible for
standardization of services and
products; certification marks and
monitoring quality control of food
items; promotion of quality assurance
activities; rendering testing facilities
for services and products; and
preparation, promotion and adoption
of national standards. BSTI has
developed and /or adopted a number
of voluntary food standards that currently stand at 630. Standardization of food items is
important to safeguard consumer health and certification required to influence trade. The
establishment of Food Safety Authority and implementation of the Bangladesh Food Safety
Act 2013 is expected to strengthen enforcement and supervision to maintain compliance of
food standards.
Decrease in the prevalence of diarrhoea
The prevalence of diarrhoea during the 2 weeks preceding the survey declined from 10% in
2007 to 5% in 2011 and 5.7% in 2014 as per BDHS (Table 32). FSNSP estimates point to a
higher the prevalence of diarrhoea, but this has remained static (12%) throughout the
seasons in 2011 and 2012 (14% in 2010; 12% in 2011 and 2012/13). Recent FSNSP estimates
show a dramatic decline to 10% in 2013/14.
Effective treatment of children during diarrhoea can avert more than 90% of dealths related
to diarrhoea190

suffer from diarrhoeal illness. BDHS 2014 reported that percentage of under 5 children with
diarrhoea treated with ORT and zinc increased to 38.1% in 2014 from 34.1% in 2011. FSNSP
records the proportion of young children aged six to 59 months having diarrhoea in the two
weeks prior to interview who were treated with zinc or oral rehydration theraphy (ORT).
Nationally, thirteen percent children with diarrhoeal episodes in rural areas reportedly use
zinc in 2013 - a slight decrease (4 percentage points) from 2012 - while over two-thirds
(69%) of children were provided ORT – a slight increase (2 percentage point) from past year
(2012). Infants younger than 9 months received ORT in a lower proportion than older
children. Young children from 12 to 29 months of age were given zinc therapy in greater
proportion than older and younger children (Figure 38), and children between 9 and 35
months were given ORT in greater proportion than older and younger children. Female
children receive both zinc and ORT in lower proportion than the male children. The
proportion of children with diarrhoea given increased fluids and continued feeding and
adequate home care showed marked improvement since 2011. Over three-quarters of
children recently ill with diarrhoea were fed increased liquids and continued feeding during
their most recent illness, only a
little under two-thirds of recently
ill children received both of these
care practices.
Interventions to promote hand
washing through education and/
or through provision of hand
washing supplies like soap have
been shown to be effective in
reducing episodes of diarrhoeal
disease by one-third. Box 13
provides an update on food
contamination, handwashing
perceptions and practices. FSNSP
2013 reporting that 98 percent
households have soap and 96% of
households use it. However, only
5% wash their hands with soap
before preparing food, only 7%
before eating and 61% after using
toilets191
. Two-thirds of care givers
reported that they used soap for
hand washing after going to the
toilet and less than one-tenth of
caregivers reported washing their
hands before preparing food and feeding their child. Interestingly, households with children
less than 5 years of age had sanitary latrines in a greater proportion than households
without children. The households without access to any toilet facilities has declined

Bangladesh: 2013. Dhaka, BD: HKI and JPGSPH, BIGH.
Box 13: Food contamination, handwashing perceptions, and
practices
Unhygienic preparation of foods can cause contamination.
Food contact with unwashed hands can be a source of
diarrhoea pathogens. ICDDR’B, Alive and Thrive, and JHB
School of Public Health reported that most of the informants
stated that food contamination is related with dust or dirt, and
also with feeding their child without washing their hands with
soap. Of the 350 surveyed respondents, the five most frequent
methods described for preventing food contamination were
washing utensils with soap and water (61%); washing
vegetables, fish, and meat (56%); washing hands with soap
before feeding a child (55%); cleaning the food preparation
area (47%); and washing hands with soap before food
preparation (40%). Most informants linked the need for
handwashing to remove visible dirt on hands and also to
remove germs.
Although a large proportion of the respondents stated the
importance of hand washing with soap before food
preparation and feeding a child, the majority do not practise it
in their community. The availability of soap and water for
washing hands at the most convenient location will encourage
handwashing with soap, especially before food preparation
and child feeding. Improved hand hygiene practices will be
easier and consistent with behaviour changed theories that
stress physical environment support as a key component for
desired hygiene behaviour.

incrementally by three percentage points i.e., from 7% in 2011 to 4% in 2013. This has been
largely due to reductions in open defecation in rural areas across the country.
Timely access to water plays an important
role in appropriate hand washing. The
behaviour patterns depends on provision of
a convenient water source. Care givers from
less wealthy households with poorer
facilities, practice appropriate hand washing
much less frequently than household with
better facilities (Figure 39). Only a half of the
caregivers who use unimproved water
sources practise appropriate hand washing
while compared to those who use improved
water sources. Besides, less educated
mothers report appropriate hand washing
behaviour much less frequently than
mothers with greater educational attainment.
Slight improvement in safe water supply
Bangladesh made tremendous progress in providing safer drinking water to its citizens. The
coverage of safe water supply for domestic use increased from 75% in 2002 to 97% in
2007/08, and increased slightly to 98% in 2009/10, and remains unchanged at 98% in
2011/12 and 98% in 2012/13 . However, it is increased to 99% in 2013/14 (Table 32). The
universal target of safe water supply could not be met yet.
People need access to improved water to reduce the risk of infection. Improved sources of
drinking water include piped water to dwelling, protected dug well, tube well and
unimproved sources of water include unprotected dug well, cart with small tank. FSNSP
2013 reported that all together, improved sources of water has increased from only a little
over half of households (51%) in 2011 to almost two-thirds (62%) in 2013. However,
improved sources of drinking water do not guarantee that the water is free from natural
contaminants like heavy metals (arsenic).
Safe water plays an important role in maintaining good health and nutrition. Whenever
water is available at the household level for child-care, food preparation and other
productive activities including agricultural homestead production, the health and nutritional
status of the people living in the households improved.
Safe drinking water supply in arsenic affected areas remains unchanged
Access to safe drinking water increased from 87% in 2010/11 to 88% in 2011/12 and then
remained static at 88% in 2012/13 and 2013/14 (Table 32). Tube wells facilitate drinking
water availability at the household level, but many are arsenic contaminated, causing long-
term health risks. Access to safe drinking water in arsenic affected areas has been gradually
increased to reach 88% of the population in 2013. There is need to enhance awareness
among the people in the arsenic affected areas about the consequence of using arsenic
contaminated water.

Institutionalization of food safety in Bangladesh for safer food
A project on ‘Institutionalization of food safety in Bangladesh for safer food’ is being
implemented by the Ministry of Food with technical support from FAO and funding through
USAID. The goal of the project is to support institutionalization of food safety in Bangladesh
by improving the integration of the national food safety control systems and by enhancing
inter-agency collaboration and cooperation, leading to greater consistency in enforcement
of regulations and a safer food supply. The project will support to strengthen inter-
ministerial and inter-agency collaboration and coordination in the field of food safety
control to prepare the way for operationalization of the Bangladesh Food Safety Authority
(BFSA); effective integrated approaches to food safety in all primary sources of production
(fish, animal and crop); and to enabling environment for improved third party
verification/inspection and certification to national food control. To this end, it will also
enhance the coordination on food safety management.
There will be continued support and consultations with project partners and Chairman and
members of the Bangladesh Food Safety Authority (BFSA); roadmap and strategy for
implementation of the Food Safety Act; continued support on review/formulation of food
safety rules and regulations; and increased exposure of National Food Safety Management
Advisory Committee members to food safety control systems in other countries including
Europe.
The Government has made effective of the Bangladesh Food Safety Act from 1 February
2015 and the Bangladesh Food Safety Authority has been established. The key positions of
the BFSA like Chairman, 3 Members and a Secretary have been appointed. Besides, national
training workshops on good agriculture practices (GAP) for horticulture and poultry and
food safety management system, and a regional workshop on food safety were organized.
6.3.2 Policy developments/programmes underway and needs for further action
Programme 12 of the CIP has a budget of 52 million USD in 2013/14 (0.4% of the total CIP
budget) of which 35 million USD is already financed. This programme includes 3 sub-
programmes. As of 30 June 2014, 5 projects are completed, 5 projects are ongoing and 3
projects are in the pipeline. One new project was initiated in the pipeline during 2013/14.
The budget of this programme was 190 million USD in 2009/10, which decreased by 76% to
46 million USD in 2010/11, and further reduced by 7% to 43 million USD in 2011/12 and
static at 43 million USD in 2012/13. However, the budget of this programme increased to 52
million USD in 2013/14. The completed 5 projects have spent 14.3 million USD in 2013/14.
The financial delivery of the programme was 0.8 million USD in 2010/11 which increased to
5.5 million USD in 2011/12 and reduced to 2.7 million USD in 2012/13. However, it was
again increased to 4.7 million USD in 2013/14. The cumulative delivery of this programme as
of 2013/14 was 14 million USD, which corresponds to 40% of the programme’s financed
budget.
Different sectors and institutes of the Government are responsible for improved food
safety, quality and related issues. The Bangladesh Food Safety Authority established under
the Food Safety Act 2013 will coordinate the overall activities for food safety and quality
including formulation and implementation of food safety policies, plan of actions, and rules
and regulations. IEDCR has set up a nationwide food-borne illness surveillance system
recently and also designated as the International Food Safety Authorities Network
115
emergency contact point. Hazard analysis is being initiated across three value chains –
poultry, fisheries and horticulture.
Needs for further action in this area include:
� Enhance awareness on food safety practices: Awareness creation on the
importance of food safety and quality for protecting consumer’s health needs to be
enhanced across all groups of people. The Consumer Association of Bangladesh
(CAB) and its sister NGOs have formed the Bangladesh Food Safety Network in 2012
and are implementing awareness creation activities including advocacy workshops,
school and household campaigns and distributing IEC materials based on the 5 keys
to food safety (developed by WHO).Training and other interventions, incorporating
Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), Good Hygienic Practices (GHP), Good
Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point
(HACCP) systems as mitigating measures are being implemented. This effort needs
scaling up.
� Enhance coordination on food safety management: As part of overall food safety
management, the National Food Safety Management Advisory Council chaired by
the Minister for Food and co-chaired by the Secretary of the Cabinet Division and
represented by the concerned ministries, academic and research institutes and
agencies needs to be activated. The overall responsibility of food safety and food
control management system and coordination among line ministries and agencies
lies to the Bangladesh Food Safety Authority (BFSA). The BFSA needs to effectively
function in accordance with the Food Safety Act 2013. Implementation of the
IEC/BCC programmes on food safety and safe food practices, developing modern
food testing techniques and national food standards in conformity with the Codex
Alimentarius, increased coverage of food items under the BSTI standards,
enforcement of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) operations and
the preparation of national guidelines for implementing the provisions of FAO’s code
of conduct for responsible fisheries are necessary. The Authority is working under
the Ministry of Food in collaboration with other relevant ministries and agencies.
� Formulate food safety regulations: The rules and regulations of the Bangladesh Pure
Food Rules 1967 and the modern food safety rules and regulations being
implemented in the neighbouring countries should be considered for the
formulation of the new food safety regulations, in line with the Food Safety Act
2013. Formulation of the rules and regulations and their approval by the
Government before commencement of implementation is necessary.
� Recruit and strengthen capacity of the food safety inspectors: The Food Safety Act
2013 has made provision for food safety inspectors to be recruited for the gigantic
task of ensuring safe food for all people. The food safety inspectors need to be
engaged with specific qualifications and their capacities need to be developed
through effective training.
� Develop more food standards and ensure compliance: More food safety standards
and norms need to be developed and/or harmonized. There is need for
strengthening the National Standards Body, the Bangladesh Standards and Testing
Institution (BSTI) which houses the Codex Contact Point and the Secretariat. Sub-
committees on subject matters corresponding to the subject/commodity specific
116
Codex Committees have been set up for consideration of technical matters. A draft
manual of guidelines and procedures has been formulated. A national survey to
identify key hazards in 7 most consumed commodities is underway as a collaborative
effort between 8 member laboratories of the Bangladesh Food Safety Laboratory
Network.
� Designate food safety laboratories for specific analysis of foods: The National Food
Safety Laboratory in the Institute of Public Health, Dhaka has begun to generate
reliable data on hazards and risks in the national food supply. It has developed 45
reference methods to detect chemical and microbiological hazards. Besides, there
are other food testing laboratories such as IFST in BCSIR and IFRB in BAEC are
providing specific food testing supports to the service seekers. A Bangladesh Food
Safety Laboratory Network has been established as a participatory platform for all
food analysis laboratories. The laboratories with validated analytical methods,
sophisticated equipment, high quality chemicals and expertise need to be designated
as food safety laboratories for testing of foods to provide a strong foundation for
implementation of the Bangladesh Food Safety Act 2013.
� Reduce diarrhoeal prevalence and ensure safe water supply: Use of ORT and zinc
supplementation is critical to reduce prevalence of diarrhoeal episodes. Hand
washing by mothers/care givers and children, during key times should be
emphasised through media campaigns and interpersonal communication by GOs and
NGOs. Besides, monitoring of the quality of drinking water on regular basis is
essential, and dissemination of the causes of arsenic contamination and remedial
measures is necessary. The availability of targeted sanitation facilities for all
households should be extended and made accessible along with WASH activities.
� Strengthen healthy street food vending: The experience on healthy street food
vending in Khulna city through the distribution of 300 hygienic, licensed food carts
by the City Corporation and supported by a monitoring system that emphasised
behavioural change among both vendors and consumers is being expanded. All 300
vendors have received refresher training in Good Hygienic Practices (GHP). A further
200 street food vendors and more than 100 food service workers have been trained
in GHP in 2014, and 200 more carts will be distributed in 2015 in Khulna and a few
hundred will be distributed in Dhaka, with all vendors to be provided training. A GHP
monitoring system has been stablished in addition to training for civic officials,
professionals, school teachers and students. Scaling up healthy street food vending is
urgently warranted.
� Improve capacity building in value chains: In the fisheries, poultry and horticulture
value chains, more than a 100 Master Trainers have undergone a certified training
course on implementing food safety guidelines in their respective sub-sectors. Food
safety guidelines incorporated into Good Agriculture Practices for each of the sectors
has been developed, and 500 farmers in each of the pilot value chains have been
enlisted for training and implementation. The results of this effort need to be
incorporated in the programmes by the relevant Ministries and departments so that
more farmers are adequately trained to implement safe food production practices.

The effective implementation of the National Food Policy Plan of Action requires a sizeable
and sustained financial investment to support and scale up programmes in the prime
sectors of agriculture, rural development, social protection, health and nutrition. Thirteen
ministries, including their divisions and various implementation agencies, are responsible for
the implementation of NFP PoA. The CIP focuses on those investments with a direct impact
on the three dimensions of food security - Availability, Access and Utilization for Nutrition. It
tracks resources channelled through the ADP to finance a comprehensive set of 12 priority
investment programmes that are consistent with the NFP PoA. The programmes are further
classified into 40 sub-programmes to identify the funds required under priority based AoIs
of the NFP PoA.
This chapter is organized as follows: Section 7.1 analyses the recent national budget and
expenditure of the key ministries and divisions related to food security and nutrition. In
particular, public spending on poverty reduction and on gender-related issues by NFP
partner ministries and divisions are analysed by the use of MoF official data. Section 7.2
briefly presents background information on CIP financing, its timeline, and the process of
financial data collection and validation, financial gaps and prioritization. Section 7.3 focuses
on CIP financial assessment as of June 2014. More specifically, financial data are analysed by
Food Security dimensions, by CIP programmes, by ADP and non-ADP components, execution
performance and future commitments. The sub-programme level disaggregation is shown in
annexes 4.2 and 4.3.
7.1. Budgets of key NFP partner ministries and space for food security
The budget allocated to NFP partner
ministries and divisions192
can be taken as
a measure of the fiscal space for FSN
interventions in Bangladesh. The budget
allocated to NFP partner ministries and
divisions has constantly increased, from
248 billion taka in 2007/08 to 526 billion
taka in 2013/14. The budget figure for
2014/15 is 597 billion taka. NFP partners’
share on total budget remained stable
between 31% and 30%, over the period
2007/08 – 2010/11, while it dropped to
24% in 2013/14, and the same level is
expected for 2014/15 (Figure 40). A detailed budget spending by the key NFP partner
ministries and divisions is given in Annex 3.

NFP Partner ministries and divisions are a subset of the thirteen partners and include: MoA, MoFL, MoWR, LGD, RDCD, MCHTA, MoSW,
MoWCA, MoFood/a, MoDM/b, MoHFW.

Gender-related expenditure by NFP
partners
Gender spending by the NFP partner
ministries and divisions increased more
than three times over the discussion
period (Figure 41). During the period
2007/08 - 2008/09, gender-related
expenditure more than tripled from 73
to 273 billion taka in 2013/14. The
budget figure for 2014/15 is 296 billion
taka, 9% up from the previous year.
MoA, LGD, MoDM and MoHFW
accounts for 77% of the entire 2014/15
budget.
This increase is much faster than total FSN budget, over the period 2007/08 – 2014/15. This
suggests that fiscal space for gender is increasingly important for FSN partners. The share of
gender spending in the total budget of
NFP partners increased from 30% to
50% over the period 2007/08–2014/15
(Figure 42). Looking at individual
sectors, agriculture-related share193
of
gender spending increased from 24% to
50% over the period 2007/08–2014/15.
Rural development-related budget194
spending increased from 8% to 46%
over the same period. In 2014/15,
among FSN partners, the highest share
of gender-related expenditure (60%) on
total budget is that of welfare related-
partners195
(Figure 42).
Public spending on poverty reduction
MoF data196
track spending on poverty reduction, which is essential for enabling people to
access food and nutrition security. Even though the anti-poverty budget shows an increasing
pattern, its share on total Government spending declined over the last eight years (Figure
43).
Public spending on poverty reduction has increased over the period 2007/08 – 2013/14
reaching 1,094 billion taka, from the initial 491 billion taka. The budget figure for 2014/15 is
1,308 billion taka, 20% up from the previous year (Figure 43). Over the period 2007/08 –
2014/15, poverty spending expanded by around 166%, which compares against an increase
by 211% of GoB total budget197
. This faster growth explains the decreasing proportion of
poverty on total budget (red line in Figure 43): while it decreased substantially (from 61% to

it remained relatively stable (ranging from
51% to 52%) over the period 2011/12 -
2014/15 (Figure 43). This implies that the
proportion of budget spending on other
items increased faster than the
expenditure on poverty.
7.2. CIP financing: timeframe and data
processing
The CIP represents a dynamic budgeting
system aggregating ADP projects into 12
programmes and 40 sub-programmes, which are prioritized in order to effectively
implement the PoA. Regarding CIP timeframe, the implementation period goes from the 1st
July 2010 to the end of the fiscal year under analysis. Therefore, the CIP 2015 refers to the
period 1st July 2010 to 30th
June 2014. Depending on its implementation status within the
CIP 2015, a project can be accounted as: completed, if it ended by the end of June 2014;
ongoing, if it is still not concluded by the end of June 2014; or pipeline, if the project is
expected to begin and to receive financing after 30th
June 2014.
Data collected for each projects includes its timeline (i.e. start and end date), total budget,
current status, yearly and cumulative delivery and other information (share of co-financing,
project’s description, etc.). The start and end dates play a vital role in the CIP monitoring
exercise as the total CIP budget and yearly pro-rata budget are calculated based on the
actual duration (in days) of the project. After financial data are collected from the relevant
GoB agencies (see section on approach to the monitoring), they are validated against the
figures presented in the ADP book, yearly published in April by the IMED of the Ministry of
Planning. The data are subsequently utilized to update the CIP database and in turn
generate the relevant financial analysis (see section 7.3). Besides, the validation process for
pipeline projects’ financial data is conducted by using the green pages of the ADP book
yearly published in March by the Planning Commission. The pipeline projects are
subsequently prioritized under the relevant sub-programmes and incorporated into the CIP
database.
The prioritization criteria were determined in a participatory manner through extensive
consultations during the baseline year, and can be summarized as follows:
- TOP priority: 90% of the financial requirement prioritized;
- HIGH priority: 70% of the financial requirement prioritized;
- MEDIUM priority: 50% of the financial requirement prioritized;
- LOWER priority: 40% of the financial requirement prioritized;
- These criteria were applied by sub programme to pipeline projects.
ADP is presented in terms of taka which is converted to USD for analysis and reporting at
the exchange rate of 69.5 taka per USD for the entire period of CIP monitoring exercise. DPs
report their financial contribution in their own currencies, which are subsequently
converted into USD, using a fixed conversion rate.

The financial data in this monitoring report include data for all 5 CIP years (i.e. CIP 2011, CIP
2012, CIP 2013, CIP 2014 and CIP 2015) which are revised based on the most recent data:
- CIP 2011 refers to projects to be implemented during 1 July 2010 and 30 June 2015
using data as of June 2010;
- CIP 2012 refers to projects to be implemented during 1 July 2010 and 30 June 2015
using data as of June 2011;
- CIP 2013 refers to projects to be implemented during 1 July 2010 and 30 June 2015
using data as of June 2012;
- CIP 2014 refers to projects to be implemented during 1 July 2010 and 30 June 2015
using data as of June 2013.
- CIP 2015 refers to projects to be implemented during 1 July 2010 and 30 June 2015
using data (newly collected) as of June 2014.
7.3. CIP Budget evolution
In its fifth year, CIP 2015 totals 12.7 billion USD, of which 8.8 billion is already financed by
GoB (64%) and the DPs (36%) and 3.9 billion USD represents the financial gap, of which 2.7
billion USD is target as a priority (Table 33). The budget has increased by 6% from last
reporting year, 2012/13, and
by 56% compared to the
baseline, 2009/10 (Annex
4.1). As of June 2014, the
composition of total budget
can be summarized as
follows: Availability
dominates (58%), followed by
Access (39%) while Utilization
(3%) is left behind. These
shares compare with similar
ones for last year: 61%, 36%
and 4%, respectively. In the
baseline year, the total
budget was more evenly
distributed throughout the
dimension: 51%, 40%, and 9%, respectively (Figure 44). The current distribution among the
two main components is explained by the large volume of financial commitments under
Availability (Figure 48).

While the Government allocates proportionally more than Development Partners to
programmes under Availability and Access (respectively 65% and 67% of the total
dimension-specific budget), DPs invest more than GoB on Nutrition, 78% of the dimension-
specific budget (Table 33). The fiscal space for FSN is largely dominated by Availability and
Access. Utilization for Nutrition-related investments lag behind and attention is required
especially by GoB funded investments.
CIP Financed budget allocation
The financed budget has increased by 12% up to 8.8 billion USD, from the last reporting
year, and by 62% compared to the baseline (Annex 4.1). As of June 2014, almost half of the
financed budget (49%) is allocated to Access and 46% to Availability; this leaves to
Utilization for Nutrition a residual of nearly 5% of the total financed budget (Figure 45).
Compared to last reporting year, while the share for Utilization did not change, the
Availability budget share reduced from 49% and that of Access increased from 47%.
Compared to the baseline, the current situation shows a shift from Access to Availability and
Nutrition (Annex 4.1). Overall financing for Availability and Access achieved a steady growth
over the CIP implementation period. Availability-related financed budget grew sharply
especially in its second year of implementation (2011/12) and then slowed down in the last
two years and reached 4.1 billion USD in 2013/14. Access-related financed budget
consistently grew and reached 4.3 billion USD in 2013/14, from 1.8 billion USD in the
baseline. Nutrition, however, increased slowly from 0.1 billion USD in the baseline to 0.4
billion USD in 2013/14. The share of allocation by FSN dimension indicates that fiscal space
for Nutrition -while slightly improved compared to the baseline - appears still inadequate.
Looking at share of budget allocation by programme, notably, programme 6 on “Improved
access to markets” and programme 2 on “Improved water management” convey half of the
total financed budget (Figure 47). This share decreased from 51% and 57%, registered
during the last reporting year and the baseline, respectively. Moreover, programme 9 on
“Effective safety nets” and programme 3 on “Improved quality of input and soil fertility”
channel 29% of the total budget, which is similar to the share registered in both last
reporting year and the baseline (28%). Overall, the four programmes’ budget share
remained unchanged over the previous year (79%), but reduced compared to the baseline
(85%). As of June 2014, the remaining 8 programmes account for 21%, the same share of

dimension

last reporting year, which expanded over the baseline share (15%). The three programmes
under Utilization represent around 5% of total CIP financed budget. This share is mainly
concentrated under programme 10 on "Community based nutrition", while the programme
11 and 12 channelled a small portion of the budget for Utilization for Nutrition.
Figure 47: Share of CIP 2015 financed budget by Programme
On one side, this indicates that while still largely predominant, fiscal space for programme 6
and 3 has been progressively reducing over the CIP implementation period. On other side,
“Community based nutrition” largely maintained its leading role in channelling financial
resources under Utilization for Nutrition.
Changes in CIP financed budget
Table 34 shows the evolution of additional financing and related share of revisions as of
June 2014 compared to the baseline. Overall financed budget increased on a yearly basis by
918 million USD. Out of the 918 million USD, 58% consists of newly financed projects, while
42% is due to budget revisions on existing projects. The total change is mainly due to Access
component (66%) and on a lower measure to Availability (29%), while Utilization
contribution is residual (5%). Project revisions are mainly due to Access-related projects,
while the contribution in terms of newly financed projects is more evenly distributed
throughout FSN dimensions (Table 34).

Changes in the CIP pipeline (gap to be financed)
As of June 2014, financing gap within CIP totals 3.9 billion USD down from 4.1 billion USD in
the previous reporting year (Figure 48). The budget waiting for financing is largely
concentrated under
Availability (84%) and on a
lower measure under Access
(15%); while a meagre 1%
only is left to Nutrition-
related programmes (Figure
46). The Availability-related
financial gap increased over
the first four years, from 2.7
billion USD of the baseline
year to 3.5 billion USD in CIP
2014, while reduced in CIP
2015 to 3.2 billion USD.
Access-related financial gap
decreased gradually over
the entire CIP period from
1.4 billion to 0.6 billion.
Nutrition-related financial gap reduced from 660 million USD of the baseline year to 39
million USD in the latest CIP period.

Number of CIP related projects as of June 2014
As of June 2014, out of 415 financed projects, 136 projects are completed within the 30th
June 2014, while 279 projects are still ongoing: some of those will be completed within the
CIP period, while some others will continue beyond 30th
June 2015. However, a total of 132
projects are listed in the pipeline as they are waiting for financing in the forthcoming years.
Table 35 displays the number of currently financed and pipeline projects compared with
baseline and previous year by programmes. Since the baseline year, the increase of 244
financed projects and decline of 124 pipeline projects suggests that additional projects have
been financed under the CIP in addition to the identified pipeline. This can be due to several
causes which include the fast tracking of specific projects, which received financing without
being previously pipelined.

CIP delivery between July 2010 and June 2014
CIP delivery considers actual rather than budgeted expenditure. As of June 2014, cumulative
delivery is 4.8 billion USD, implying a yearly average delivery of 0.96 billion USD. Total
delivery accounts for 54% of total financed budget. Availability, Access and Utilization for
Nutrition delivered respectively 51%, 59% and 32% of their respective financed budgets.
Budget delivery in 2013/14 is almost 1.6 billion USD, which is higher than the yearly average
delivery and compared to that of last reporting year. Out of the total, GoB delivered 2.8
billion USD while DPs disbursed 2 billion USD (Table 37).

Yearly execution performance
Yearly execution performance in 2013/14 is 53% down from 73% in the previous CIP years.
Figure 49 shows the execution rate by individual programmes in 2013/14. This is a positive
result considering the accounting principles to compute the execution performance
indicator.
The CIP considers the total budget of single projects for their whole duration and accounts
for yearly quotas within the CIP period. The rate of execution is the proportion of yearly
delivery to yearly pro-rata budget. Since the unspent budget is always carried forward to the
next CIP year, pro-rata
budgets are subsequently
calculated by including the
unspent budget on the next
year. This reduces execution
performance in years where
pro-rata budget is higher
due to unspent budget
inclusion from the previous
year.
Yearly budget allocation and
in turn execution
performance depend on
projects’ timeline. Actually,
projects’ adjustments (such
as, budget’s revision and
extension of project’s duration) required for poorly executed projects can modify yearly
budget allocation and in turn execution performance.
The current situation in terms of execution performance suggests that extension of those
projects with low delivery rate is likely. This would translate in revision of budgetary
allocations that, coupled with increasing service costs, could compromise implementation of
new pipeline projects. New projects funding may consequently decline as implementing
agencies focus their attention on projects’ completion rather than initiating new ones. It is,
therefore, necessary to accelerate projects’ implementation, without compromising their
effectiveness, to make sure that pipeline projects will be timely implemented. To accelerate
investments, budget delivery and in turn improve execution performance, strengthening the
governance for projects and programmes implementation is a crucial premise.
CIP financing beyond June 2015
CIP monitoring has been planned for a 5-year implementation period, whereas the ADP is a
continuous process. The current monitoring exercise is expected to end in June 2015 and
CIP budget is computed up to the end of CIP period. As a result, the closer the end of CIP,
the larger is the budget’s share falling beyond CIP. This budget can either be already
financed (for ongoing projects, which will continue after the end of June 2015), or in the
pipeline (for projects that will start after the end of June 2015).
As of June 2014, investments for ongoing projects continuing beyond the CIP period (i.e.
after 30th
June 2015) total 1.6 billion USD, up by 961 million USD compared to previous
reporting period. Out of this budget, 881 million USD represent DPs contribution, while 754

million USD are GoB financing. Utilization, Availability and Access cover respectively 6%, 49%
and 45% of the post-CIP financed budget (Table 38). The longest project beyond CIP is a
BWDB project (under programme 3), which will end in 30th
June 2020. On the other hand,
3.2 billion USD is the financing gap for projects that will start after June 2015. This figure
represents the 84% of the current CIP financing gap, accounting for those projects that will
start before 30th
June 2015. Utilization, Availability and Access cover respectively 1%, 70%
and 29% of the post-CIP pipeline (Table 38).
The share of allocation in both current and future FSN related programmes indicates that
fiscal space for Nutrition is still inadequate, although signs of improvement can be
appreciated specifically in the post-CIP financed budget.

7.4. Development partners' reporting on contribution to CIP
The goal of collecting data on DPs contribution to CIP is to identify the DPs-specific ongoing
contributions and future commitments; to seize DPs’ alignment to ADP; and to further
validate the CIP monitoring as reported by GoB, through TT members and vetted with ADP
book data. From a theoretical point of view, the total CIP budget as reported by GoB should
tally with the total CIP budget as reported by DPs. However, this has not been the case for
the previous three years of CIP implementation. Budgets’ alignment has improved in
2013/14 due to extensive crosschecking and validation process.
As of June 2014, DPs contribution as reported by GoB totals 3,157 million USD, which
compares with DPs-reported amount of 3,149 million USD. The difference of 8 million USD
129
represents a substantial improvement compared to the gap of 292 million USD, reported in
2012/13.
Figure 50 shows DPs’ contribution through the ADP and non-ADP channels, as well as
possible future commitments within the CIP period. In 2013/14, total DPs’ contribution
through ADP accounts for
3,149 million USD, which
increased by 296 million
USD compared to the
previous reporting year.
Besides, contribution
through non-ADP channels
increased to 979 million
USD by 85 million USD,
compared to last reporting
year. However, 2013/14
future contributions to CIP
decreased by 22% to 1,267
million USD, from 1,547
million USD in 2012/13. As
CIP approaches its end, CIP
future commitments show a
reduced volume, as only one year to implement the CIP is left. Most of the DPs’ future
commitments are therefore increasingly reflected beyond the CIP period.

Availability or Access. The
World Bank is the top contributor with 620 million USD.
Besides, IFAD, EU and EKN contribute between 100 and 200 million USD. Out of 131 million
of EU budget, 36% was Nutrition-related financing, while IFAD and EKN mostly financed only
through Availability. Among the other DPs, only UNICEF contributed exclusively through
Nutrition-related programmes.

As of June 2014, DPs
channelled 979 million USD

alone provided 76% of the
non-ADP budget. While
USAID is largely investing on
non-ADP Nutrition-related
projects (122 million USD),
DFID contributes to non-ADP
budget with 390 million USD
under Availability and Access
related programmes only. Figure 52 presents the portfolio of largest DPs contributing to
non-ADP channels.
DPs Commitments beyond CIP period
The DPs commitments beyond CIP are accounted on a yearly pro-rata budget, after 30th
June 2015. As of June 2014, total financed budget beyond CIP totals 1,180 million USD,
which compares with 492 million USD in 2012/13. Non-ADP commitment beyond June 2015
is 249 million compared to 85 million USD in the previous reporting year. Finally, future
contribution beyond CIP stands at 1,180 million USD compared to 615 million in 2013/14.
Details of DPs future commitments by programme are given in Annex 4.6c.
7.5. Recommendations
� Continue sustaining FSN investments beyond CIP period: CIP budget continued
expanding in both financed and pipeline components. However, with the CIP coming
to its end, financial resources will be increasingly allocated and accounted after June
2015. Furthermore, efforts should be made to secure financial gap for pipeline
projects. In particular, while Government financing on Utilization component slightly
increased in recent years, GOB only spent 0.36 USD for each USD spent by DPs.
� Improve execution performance: Execution performance slowed down compared to
last exceptional year, and needs to accelerate as only 41% of the financed budget is
utilized in 2013/14. This may result in extension of ongoing projects and increase in
cost, and in turn it may hamper new project initiatives.
� Focus on areas lagging behind: Some of the sub-programmes, such as sub-
programme 8.1 and 8.2, did not have any financed project over the entire CIP period.
Further investigation is needed to minimize these gaps, especially for the sub-
programme 8.1 due mainly to the absence of project listed in the pipeline as future
interventions. Moreover, there are sub-programmes against which no pipeline
projects were identified (e.g. sub-programmes 2.3, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 7.1, 8.1, 10.2, 10.3,
11.2). It would therefore be challenging to implement PoA interventions related to
the programmes where these sub-programmes are listed.
Figure 52: Portfolio of largest donors through non-ADP
131
� Upscale project formulation under utilization for nutrition sensitive interventions:
Formulation of new projects is required to scale-up the financing of Utilization
programmes. DPs have a huge investment outside the ADP for nutrition
programmes. The lessons and experience gained in implementing the programmes
should be shared with the Government for possible expansion of projects along the
ADP activities. Moreover, while the contribution of projects under Utilization is very
low, Nutrition interventions need to be strongly integrated into initiatives under
Availability and Access pillars. It is therefore essential to target nutrition sensitive
interventions towards enhancing delivery on nutrition outcomes and to mainstream
them into new initiatives within the other FSN pillars.

8. Overall assessment and recommendations
The National Food Policy (NFP) provides strategic guidance for achieving food and nutrition
security. The NFP Plan of Action (PoA) translates this into 26 Areas of Intervention (AoI) for
the period 2008 to 2015. The Bangladesh Country Investment Plan: A Road Map towards
Investment in Agriculture, Food Security and Nutrition (CIP) identifies 12 investment
programmes to ensure implementation of the PoA. Implementation mechanisms and
responsibilities across Government are specified in the NFP PoA Section I.4 and Part II,
respectively.
8.1. Overall assessment
Need to continue progress
Progress towards the NFP goal is measured using undernourishment, child underweight and
child stunting. In 2013/14, undernourishment was estimated at 16.7%, underweight at
32.6% and stunting at 36.1%, with the targets having been achieved. While there has been
remarkable progress over the past two decades, major challenges remain to sustain the
gains into the future. Undernourishment has risen in the last four years, food based poverty
declined, especially at the lower threshold, but at a slower pace than expenditure based
poverty while considering all 3 indicators. The decline in underweight and stunting has been
appreciable, though slower than that of expenditure based poverty but faster than food
based poverty at the higher threshold.
Four food security and nutrition indicators of the Results Framework of the SFYP shows that
agricultural GDP growth remarkably improved compared to the previous year, reaching
4.3% in 2013/14 and spending on social protection as share of GDP remained almost static
reaching 2.26% in 2013/14 – all remaining below targets. While poverty estimates are not
available after 2010, GDP growth per capita suggests that the poverty headcount in 2013/14
could be expected to be around 25%, indicating achievement of the MDG 1 target. The rice-
wage increased by 73.3%, exceeding the yearly target.
As foreseen in the 7FYP, Bangladesh will embark in expanding FSN within a broader inter-
sectoral vision. The comprehensive analysis of progress achieved under NFP PoA and CIP
provides a policy update to inform the preparation of the 7FYP.
Sustain rice production and strengthen crop diversification
Yearly agricultural GDP (excluding forestry) growth accelerated by 2.1 percentage up to
4.3% in 2013/14, meeting its target, mainly due to increased rice, animal and fish
production. Rice import dependency, measured as an average for the period 2011/12-
2013/14 consequently dropped to 1%, down from 2.3% registered in 2012/13. Instability of
rice production has remained substantially unchanged in 2013/14 from its lowest level over
the reference period of 2.9% registered in 2012/13, mainly due to the stability in rice
production throughout all seasons. In 2013/14, price of rice was more stable than the
previous year although on an increasing trend, while wheat price has been decreasing and
more volatile over the same period. Although the agricultural trade deficit rose to 6.9 billion
USD in 2011, fishery exports improved. Crops other than rice, fishery and livestock grew,
suggesting a diversification of food production patterns. A more diversified production
134
requires a more diversified set of inputs, public and private services and infrastructures,
with greater inclusion of increasing numbers of small and marginal farms.
Sustain and promote food access
Rice wage increased substantially, income poverty reduced and population with deficient
calorie intake declined – all pointing to a wider access to food. Generation of employment
and skill development are high priorities to ensure that wages and labour productivity
continues to improve. However, many people remain vulnerable, for which increased
attention needs to be paid for ensuring pro-poor growth and establishing peoples’ right to
food. Alongside, stabilizing food prices, promoting non-farm employment and reducing
wage difference between men and women warrant special attention.
Promote safe and diversified diets and reduce malnutrition
Caloric adequacy alone cannot help meet dietary nutritional requirements. Protein
requirement is met largely from rice with the quality of protein being inadequate. The
supply and intake of dietary energy from cereals though declined slightly, has not
adequately reduced to meet the recommended target of 60% Cereal Energy. Diversification
of food systems to improve nutrition, including capacity strengthening of women in
nutrition-sensitive agriculture is essential. Implementation of prevention and control
strategies for NCDs and addressing the double burden of malnutrition (39% of women
having BMI>23 and 17% women having BMI<18.5) and promotion of dietary diversity are
keys to addressing the problem. The rate of under nutrition especially stunting among
children under 5 needs to be further accelerated. Appropriate IYCF practices would help
increase the proportion of children 6 to 23 months fed a minimum acceptable diet from its
current level of 23%. Fortification initiatives need to be scaled-up notably USI, wherein
iodized salt consumption was only 81% in 2014. Universal access to safe water is yet to be
reached while that of hygiene and sanitation is much further away, both which are critical
barriers to improved nutrition.
The CIP 2015: financial input monitoring
CIP 2015 totals 12.7 billion USD, of which 8.8 billion is already financed by GoB (64%) and
the DPs (36%) and 3.9 billion USD represents the financial gap, of which 2.7 billion USD is
targeted as priority. As of June 2014, Access, Availability and Utilization channel respectively
49%, 46% and 5% of financed budget. Financing gap reduced to 3.9 billion USD from 4.1
billion USD in previous reporting year. Future commitments within CIP are largely
concentrated on Availability (84%), to a lesser extent on Access (15%) and only marginally
on nutrition (1%). In 2013/14, budget delivery increased by 4% up to 1.6 billion USD from
the previous reporting year, and reached 4.8 billion USD since 2010/11, the first year of CIP
implementation. This figure represents 54% of total financed budget. In particular,
Availability, Access and Nutrition delivered 51%, 59% and 32% of their financed budget. As
of June 2014, GoB invested 1.78 USD for each USD spent by DPs. This figure varies among
components: 1.8 USD for Availability, 2 USD for Access, while 0.3 USD only for Utilization for
Nutrition.
Looking at investments beyond June 2015 (post-CIP period), 1.6 billion USD is already
financed as of June 2014: with Utilization, Availability and Access covering 6%, 49% and 45%
respectively. The analysis of both financed budget and financing gap both within and post
135
CIP indicates that fiscal space for Nutrition in both current and future FSN related
programmes is still inadequate.
Analysis of the CIP indicates the following conclusion:
� Continue sustaining FSN investments beyond CIP period;
� Improve execution performance;
� Focus on areas lagging behind;
� Upscale projects’ formulation under Food Utilization for Nutrition-sensitive
intervention.
8.2. Recommendations
NFP Objective 1: Availability
Crop sector performance is improving steadily. Variety development, quality seed delivery
and increased irrigation coverage are contributing to this achievement. Production of non-
crops also shows signs of improvement. Diversification to fisheries, livestock and non-rice
crops contributes to the achievement in overall food and nutrition security. Self sufficiency
status in rice is continued with reducing dependence on imports. Attainment of self
sufficiency in fisheries is not too far. The country is providing 19.3 kg per capita per year as
opposed to the required 21.9 kg. The country has adequate potential to produce further to
meet the requirement. Inputs supplies improved and the prices show no escalation. Credit
delivery increased due to conducive policy changes. Subsidy on fertilizer is on the decline.
Shrimp policy and aquaculture development and action plans, and research initiatives for
development of fish varieties and crab are expected to positively influence the fisheries
sector. The livestock sector scenario however is dismal. Prices of all meat products are
increasing largely due to production shortages. Implementation of new livestock extension
policy, expanding vaccination and artificial insemination programme, efforts for promoting
hybrid cattle and disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation within livestock
sector could perhaps contribute to the development of livestock sector.

� Sustain school milk programmes for better nutrition while supporting dairy farmers;
� Improve quantity and quality of feed and fodder;
� Sustain value addition in producing hides, skin, horn and bone;
� Support biogas production.
NFP Objective 2: Access
Access to food has improved due to a variety of reasons namely, higher rice wages;
improvement in income; existence of relatively stable food prices; expansion of safety net
programmes; improvement in women’s wages; provision of more credit particularly to
women and sharecroppers. This is supported by growth of small scale manufacturing,
narrower margins between farm gate and retail prices and increased enrolment of women
in technical and vocational education and training. Development of growth centres, rural
markets and women market centres need further expansion. Deceleration of small scale
manufacturing growth is affecting the creation of employment opportunities. The National
Social Protection Strategy proposes to streamline safety net programmes and to consolidate
most of the food-based programmes into cash-based transfers. To ensure access to food of
the poor and vulnerable groups, some of the food based safety net programmes need to be
retained so that at the time of disasters, adequate food can be distributed.
Programme 6 on improved access to markets, value addition in agriculture and to non-
farm incomes
� Improve physical access to markets;
� Reduce wastage and quality loss of food products;
� Further reduce wage difference between men and women;

� Explore the preparation of a roadmap for fortified rice.
NFP Objective 3: Utilization and nutrition
Several programmes to diversify diets for reducing the persistent dietary imbalances and
promoting nutrition sensitive non-cereal production namely fisheries, poultry, fruits and
vegetables have been considered nationwide. Follow-up of ICN2 Declaration for nutritional
improvement of the population is of critical essence now. Supplementation of vitamin A and
iron folate; salt iodisation; coverage of exclusive breast-feeding in the first six months;
appropriate IYCF practices; implementation of the national micronutrient strategy; and
increased behaviour change communication are progressing. Promulgation of Bangladesh
Food Safety Act, formation and functioning of the Food Safety Authority are important steps
towards provision of safe, nutritious and quality foods to the people. Special attention to
the universal access to improved water and sanitation facilities; widespread poor hygiene
practices; and high prevalence of food contamination needs to be given for better food
utilization and nutrition.
