Resolving the vertical versus horizontal conundrum
Building on the experience of the community health worker (CHW) program at BRAC, the largest NGO in Bangladesh and also in the world, as well as on the experience of other successful CHW programs, a “next generation” of CHW programs is being envisioned in which a CHW would visit every home every month. Among many other activities they would carry out, CHWs would screen for symptoms of TB, obtain sputum specimens that would be collected by a super…
Reduction in Lifetime Fertility Through MNCS in Rural Bangladesh
This study assesses the effect of a customised Maternal Neonatal and Child Survival (MNCS) intervention in the rural areas of Bangladesh. This study attempts to estimate the lifetime fertility rate and the proportion of live births ≥3, and the age-specific lifetime fertility patterns among the women of reproductive age. This quasi-experimental study used impact evaluation data from the MNCS intervention in 2013 and compared these with the baselin…
Comprehensive review of the evidence regarding the effectiveness of community–based primary health care in improving maternal, neonatal and child health
BACKGROUND: The contributions that community-based primary health care (CBPHC) and engaging with communities as valued partners can make to the improvement of maternal, neonatal and child health (MNCH) is not widely appreciated. This unfortunate reality is one of the reasons why so few priority countries failed to achieve the health-related Millennium Development Goals by 2015. This article provides a summary of a series of articles about the eff…

Equity Gains in Bangladesh Primary Education
Enrolment at primary level
Knowledge to action
Many organisations do not learn. There are many reasons for this, and a lack of donor support tends to be cited as one of the greatest. But this is not the primary reason for a lack of learning. We fail to learn because we are unable to see the importance of doing so. We become so embroiled in our busy-ness and our self-inflicted demands for action, that we have ceased to value learning. And we have lost sight of the fact that without learning ou…
Without Sex Education
In 1997, two organizations, BRAC (Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee) and ICDDR,B (International Center for Diarrheal Disease Research), as part of their collaborative research model, developed an HIV/AIDS prevention strategy for rural Bangladeshi youth. Currently, HIV/AIDS is not apparent in rural Bangladesh. Other sexual and reproductive health problems are more pressing. Moreover, there are few inor out-of-school sex education programs for…
Telling Them Their Own Stories
Most people in Bangladesh are rural, poor and underprivileged. The incidence of sexual disease has increased, but little has been done to educate rural people about sexual and reproductive health. In 1997, a sexual and reproductive health project was initiated within a collaborative research agreement between the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research (ICDDR,B) and the Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC), an indigenous non…
The Bangladesh Cyclone of 1991
Living with natural disasters has become a way of life in Bangladesh. On the night of 29 April 1991 a severe cyclonic storm, accompanied by tidal surges up to 30 feet high, battered the coastal areas of Bangladesh for 3-4 hours. Thousands of people were killed and property worth billions of dollars was destroyed. After the cyclone, several studies, using epidemiological and anthropological methods, looked at the impact of the cyclone. It was esti…
Evaluating community ORT programmes
Community-based oral rehydration programmes to reduce diarrhoea-related mortality have been initiated in many developing countries in recent years. However, to date few evaluation studies have been carried out on these programmes and there is poor standardization in the indicators used. This paper discusses mainly the problems surrounding the intermediate process indicators: availability of ingredients; people's perceptions about diarrhoea and it…
