An initiative, rural non-farm economy (RNFE), has been introduced in Bangladesh to address poverty, social development and to empower rural women financially. RNFE has made contribution to match male–female parity in work participation and also to attain economic empowerment for women by enabling them to engage in economic activities without violating the social norms. The study indicates that women RNFE participants should get more income support and better health care facilities to maintain their subsistence and to get rid of poverty, while men RNFE participants should get more support to get involved in high-income RNFE activities and promote RNFE income growth.

Formation of trihalomethanes (THMs) through excessive chlorination in the supplied water and its ... more Formation of trihalomethanes (THMs) through excessive chlorination in the supplied water and its carcinogenic nature is a public health concern in many parts of the world, including a couple of neighboring countries in Asia. However, the issue was not yet addressed either in the public health policy or in academia in Bangladesh. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to determine the THM concentration in supplied water, its multiple pathways to the human body, and an estimation of resultant carcinogenic risk to urban dwellers in six different regions of Dhaka city. Thirty-one supplied water samples were collected from 31 different water points located in Purana Paltan, Naya Paltan, Kallyanpur, Shyamoli, Malibagh-Rampura, and Panthapath regions in premonsoon time. Total chlorine and chlorine dioxide (ClO 2) and trihalomethane (THM) concentration were determined using UV-VIS spectrophotometer; total organic carbon (TOC), total inorganic carbon, and total carbon concentration were measured using TOC analyzer, and chloroform concentration was determined by applying gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS-MS) in the supplied water samples. Research findings indicate that THM concentration exceeded the USEPA acceptable limit (80 ppb) in all regions except Panthapath. Study results showed that carcinogenic risk via ingestion was higher than the USEPA acceptable limit of 10 −6. Carcinogenic risk via dermal absorption and inhalation exposure was lower according to USPEA acceptable limit. To conclude, this study represents the current knowledge about THM concentration in supplied pipeline water and adverse health risk, which signifies that regulatory measures should be taken to reduce the THM concentration.

Though the country has experimented different socialist as well as open market policies to alleviate poverty, still more than 40 per cent of its population remain below the national poverty line. This paper attempts a critical evaluation of the contemporary poverty reduction policies implemented in Bangladesh and argues why such policies have failed to succeed at the given socio-economic structure of Bangladesh. A framework of analysis has been developed to delineate these arguments graphically. Furthermore, this paper demonstrates why the development of Rural Non-Farm Economy (RNFE) would be a better policy option to alleviate poverty under the current socio-economic context of Bangladesh, and presents a statistical model that can be used as an alternative framework for poverty reduction through RNFE development in Bangladesh. Similar models may also be adopted in other developing...

Therefore, promotion of water and sanitation services are placed in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) taken by UN for an extended period from 2016-2030. In line with this goal, the governments of developing countries are increasing their budget allocation to attain this decent living target. However, allocations are, in many cases, inadequate and skewed among different geographic regions. Further, due to an absence of separate ministry or authority to manage this important, but often neglected function of governments, allocations are disguised under other heads of allocations made for different ministries and make the assessment of allocation even more difficult. In the context of WASH sector in Bangladesh, the objective of this paper is thus to demonstrate an effective methodology to capture WASH data at national and d...
