The ‘UNDAF 2012-2016 in Bangladesh Year-1 Progress Report’ is the first progress report that summarizes the joint Government of Bangladesh and UN System’s substantive development results achieved in 2012 in each of seven UNDAF Pillars.

Thepreparation of the progress report was initiated jointly by the UN Wing, Economic Relations Division (ERD) and United Nations Office of UN Resident Coordinator (UN RCO). The process of preparation of the progress report was guided by the UNDAF Action Plan 2012-2016. It was a consultative and collaborative process, and the final product benefits from inputs of different Government ministries, divisions, and agencies as well as UN organizations that are working together to implement development interventions of the UNDAF 2012-2016 framework.

The progress report identifies remarkable joint achievements of the Government and the UN System across all UNDAF Pillars in 2012, for example: introducing e-innovation in public service delivery is one step forward to Government’s Sixth Five Year Plan commitment on Digital Bangladesh (Pillar One); various labour market reform initiatives undertaken in 2012, including approval of National Skills Development Policy (Pillar 6) will ultimately contribute to prioritizing women food security and assets as a key to growth (Pillar 2 and Pillar 7); decentralization of health planning (Pillar 3) and mainstreaming of National Nutritional Services into the health system will positively impact health services in coming years (Pillar 4); adoption of the Disaster Management Act 2012 will ensure better lives for millions of disaster vulnerable people (Pillar 5). These results also assure the country is on the right track to realize Vision 2021.

Apart from working jointly to achieve substantive development results, the first year of UNDAF implementation also meant establishing the foundations for UNDAF implementation through to 2016, including instituting of the UNDAF governance structure, setting up implementation and monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, etc.

The 2012 results of UNDAF implementation were reviewed in May 2013 by the UNDAF Steering Committee. The Committee meeting praised the achievements and discussed the areas where UNDAF implementation will be strengthened in the future. These areas included, inter alia, joint results monitoring and evaluation, information exchange on UNDAF implementation among all UNDAF stakeholders, optimization of inter-Pillar synergies, etc. The recommendations in these areas will be followed up by respective partners of the UNDAF implementation process and reported upon during the 2013 UNDAF Review Process.

I am thankful to all, including concerned implementing ministries, divisions, and agencies, UN organization, ERD officials, and the UN Resident Coordinator Officefor providing timely assistance and information and data used in this progress report. I am also looking forward to participate in UNDAF implementation and reviews in the future.

Bangladesh has made enormous development progress over the past 20 years. This is clearly evident in Bangladesh’s performance against the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) – many of which the country is set to achieve. The strides Bangladesh has made are testament to development through partnerships, hard work and commitment over time.Credit goes to successive government administrations and to the tireless work of the many actors, local, national and international.

The United Nations has been a trusted partner in the country for over 40 years. The current focus of UN work is defined in the United Nations Development Assistance Framework 2012-2016 (UNDAF). Jointly formulated with Government, aligned with the nationaldevelopment agenda as defined in key documents, the UNDAF maps the priorities of UN work over the next years. The UNDAF is accompanied by an ambitious Action Plan in which the UN agencies operating in the country voluntarily outlined how to work in ways that would strengthen UN coordination, coherence and impact.

In 2012, the first year of UNDAF implementation, we built the foundation of what we need to ensure sustainable impact and results. This includes the UNDAF substantive andgovernance structures, monitoring and evaluation systems, a platform for advocacy, and alignment with Government efforts through the seven UNDAF pillars. We are confident that 2012 laid solid ground that will ensure the UNDAF iseffectively implementedin the coming years.

Despite the necessary internal focus on “how we work”, 2012 and has brought substantive successes and a promise of more to come. Some of the initial gains are detailed in the

accompanying UNDAF Joint Results Stories 2012, and I encourage you to take the time to read it. It can often be difficult to measure the impact of development assistance, and numbers and graphs rarely reflect the human development aspect of this work. The Joint Results Stories attempt to put a face to the figures.

The stories highlighted are a mix of results that include grassroots capacity-development initiatives such as with Community Nutrition Worker Halima Begum (Pillar 4), building community resilience through coordination to adequately prepare and respond to disaster (Pillar 6), high level advocacy to build the architecture for the delivery of social services (Pillars 2 and 3), and preventing child marriage through community education and advo-cacy (Pillar 7).

I am very proud of UN work in Bangladesh, of our long history of collaboration in Bangla-desh, and of the first-year results we have documented from our ambitious UNDAF. I am delighted to be a part of the UN team here that is working hard to support the Government’s efforts to achieve the results we have set for our joint efforts.

I. INTRODUCTIONThe United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) in Bangladesh is the result of an ongoing consultative process intended to analyze how the UN can mosteffectively respond to national priorities and needs. It is guided by the goals and targets of the Millennium Declaration, as endorsed by the Government, as well as the national Vision 2021, Sixth Five Year National Development Plan, Joint Cooperation Strategy and other relevant documents.

The unifying theme of the UNDAF is to accelerate human development with equity by 2015, specifically through achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in the worst performing and most vulnerable geographic areas and among the most vulnerable segments of the population. The UNDAF translates all this into a common operational framework for development activities upon which individual UN organizations formulate their actions for the period 2012-2016. In turn, the seven UNDAF Pillars are:

Democratic Governance and Human Rights Pro-Poor Growth with Equity Social Services for Human Development Food Security and Nutrition Climate Change, Environment, and Disaster Risk Reduction and

Response Pro-Poor Urban Development Gender Equality and Women’s Advancement

10

Pillar 1, on democratic governance and human rights, consists of two outcomes. The first is on building the capacity of public and Government institutions to more effectively carry out their mandates and deliver improved services in an accountable, transparent and inclusive manner. The second concerns increased access to, and more efficiency of, justice systems and strengthened human rights institutions better able to promote and protect human rights, particularly for women and vulnerable groups.

Under Pillar 1, the UN System continues to ensure representations and participation through democratic processes, complementing this with efforts to deepen democracy through strengthened partnerships with civil society to create democratic space for larger civic engagement. A focus on institutional reform, decentralization and local governance are also key areas for effective service delivery, thereby contributing to local development based on community needs.

Pillar 2, focuses on economic growth and its impact on poverty and other welfareconditions, notably, nutrition and labour market participation. The Pillar’s single Outcome objective targets pro-poor growth, defined by both its level and its distribution between

These seven interrelated and mutually reinforcing focus areas offer a robust development approach that links human rights with 12 measurable and time-bound Outcome results targeted for achievement by 2016. They are framed by the overarching imperative of creating, for all the people of Bangladesh, more equitable access to knowledge, skills, livelihoods, employment, justice, social services, food security, nutrition, financial services and social protection.

1. High-level advocacy;2. Capacity development of individuals;3. Systems strengthening;

4. Partnership building, participation and raising the voice of civil society; and

5. Targeting interventions in geographic regions, based on districts lagging on MDG achievements and on vulnerability mapping determined by key social indicators. A total of 20 districts and 30 cities or towns have been targeted. Toward this overall end, the UN System is working with greater collaboration and coherence, including through the mechanism of seven Pillar Working Groups.

Five core strategies underpin the full range of UNDAF results,including

11

groups and localities. Given this, the management and reduction of inequality is an implicit policy target, alongside broad growth acceleration. The Pillar defines poverty widely, including both income and human development dimensions. Outputs are backed by a suite of indicators tracking policy changes and direct project interventions in areas as diverse as trade promotion and social protection policies. Special attention is given to the geographical pattern of growth and the impact on key vulnerable groups, including women. Parallel interventions with a poverty impact are undertaken in other Pillars as well.

In addressing social services for human development, three Outcomes of Pillar 3 aim to contribute to poverty reduction by strategically creating or facilitating linkages andsynergies between key sectors so that deprived populations, particularly women, children and youth, benefit from increased and more equitable use of quality health and population, education, water, sanitation, social protection and HIV services. UN System interventions contribute to enhanced practices by deprived community members of key life-saving, care and protective behaviours, and raise their demand for quality social services. Intense policy advocacy efforts have led to the development or updating of legal instruments and policies to harmonize these with international human rights standards (see also Pillar 1).

Capacity development, communication and mobilization efforts at different levels of Government and society also are contributing to facilitate effective and efficientimplementation of policies and national strategies that will translate into improved provision and demand for social services. Further UN System support for evidence-based policymaking is contributing to strengthening of institutional learning and accountability by systematically embedding results-based planning, monitoring and evaluation into all programmatic areas.

Interventions under Pillar 4, food security and nutrition, are in line with key crosscutting gaps identified in analysis of several of the MDGs in Bangladesh, including the nutrition aspects of MDG1 (halve the proportion of people who suffer from hunger); MDG3 (promote gender equality and empower women); MDG4 (reduce child mortality), MDG5 (improve maternal health); and MDG7 (ensure environmental sustainability).

Although significant efforts and important decisions have been made by the Government to mainstream food security and nutrition into the national development agenda, a need exists to strengthen institutional linkages across core sectors directly engaged in nutrition interventions, including food, agriculture and health. Ongoing capacity strengthening will need to be fostered within a multi-sectoral framework in order to leverage theseinvestments for significant and sustainable improvements. Improvement of food safety especially requires the establishment of cross-sectoral cooperation mechanisms andimplementation of core capacity development activities; recent Government initiatives

have recognized this pressing need and the necessary policy actions will be taken forward. Particularly considering the needs of the most vulnerable, including women and under-5 children, this multi-sectoral Pillar requires complementary results from other Pillars, including improved access to social services and increased income opportunities for the poor. It also is intended to contribute to national priorities on reducing poverty, boosting economic production, and securing human resource development.

Pillar 5, on environment, climate change and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and response, represents a major strength of this UNDAF, conceiving that these areas are fundamentally synchronized and interwoven. A holistic approach is pursued that contributes to poverty reduction and sustainable development, reduces vulnerability to hazards, and recognizes that food insecurity, social inequality and ecological degradation are important elements of overall vulnerability.

With Bangladesh’s sheer number of vulnerable people and a highly degraded natural resource base, the impacts of adverse change in any ecological or climatic sub-system have particular potential to multiply and destabilize entire system. This challenges theattainment of the MDGs by widening existing gaps in resource allocations, creating further inequality in access to basic services, and increasing levels of vulnerability by exposing individuals and communities to various forms of hazards. It also causes systems andinstitutions to break down and become inefficient. Thus, the Pillar is focused on two thematic Outcome areas that aim to help create a State in which all relevant systems (social, institutional, policy and governance) can more efficiently respond to the needs of people and ensure their protection and well-being.

12

UNDAF Pillar 6 focuses on secure and equitable pro-poor urban development and mitigation of the worst effects of rapid urbanization. It contributes to the national priorities on securing human resource development and promoting environmental sustainability in low-income urban settlements. At policy level, the Pillar supports development of national and municipal plans and budget allocations that promote the rights of the urban poor and vulnerable populations, particularly with regard to land tenure security and access to affordable housing. Secondly, the Pillar focuses on promotion of democratic and pro-poor urban governance, along with developing stakeholder capacities to plan and manage sustainable urbandevelopment. Critically, it emphasizes empowerment and capacity development of the urban poor to improve their socioeconomic conditions, along with increasing their access to basic services and social protection programmes.

Lastly, Pillar 7 focuses on gender equality and women’s empowerment and its impact on women’s socioeconomic empowerment in particular, creating an enabling environment to increase women’s participation in the labour market and their accessibility to information,

skills development and training opportunities in which they can generate income. Its two Outcomes are interrelated: marginalized and disadvantaged women increase their participation in wage employment and other income-generating activities, while their social and institutional vulnerabilities simultaneously are intended to be reduced. This two-track, complementary approach promotes overall gender equality and equity by focusing on critical gender-related issues that affect the economic and social status of women and girls and their right to productive participation in the labour market. Moreover, the strategies employed by these twin tracks utilize gender as both a crosscutting and a stand-alone approach.

In terms of monitoring and evaluation, progress data for indicators have been collected year-round by the UNDAF M&E Group. The Group not only monitors the validity ofassumptions and risks made at the design stage of the UNDAF, but also is monitoringprogress under an agreed M&E Plan. The Group also further provided feedback to Pillars on drafts of the Pillar Annual Reports to sharpen the annual review process.

Bangladesh’s general election, scheduled in late 2013, presents both key challenges and opportunities to the UN System, both of which began manifesting in 2012. The 15th Amendment to the Constitution, in 2011, that removed the provision for a Caretaker Government, introduced major course of change in national affair. Election-related issues notwithstanding, change in public institutions has been steady, and independent institutions such as the National Human Rights Commission and the Election Commission display visible signs of building capacity with important policy contributions. There remains a Government commitment at legislative level to build greater capacities and improve service delivery overall. The poor in particular have benefited from these initiatives, and in fact may benefit further if the forthcoming elections accelerate such delivery as the Government looks to showcase its achievements.

Efforts to deepen reform of the civil service have been slow to translate into real change. For example, the overall setting for urban governance remains fragmented at national and municipal levels, both in terms of institutions and service delivery; although the Municipal Act 2010 requires master plans for urban areas, few towns have yet prepared them, and even those that exist are rarely implemented.

In terms of the economy, Bangladesh continued to record robust growth, reaching 6.3 percent in fiscal 2012, alongside per-capita growth of 4.61 percent. While this performance represents an improvement over the base, the headline figure is below the target given in the Sixth Five Year Plan, and as a result, so too is the per-capita figure below the UNDAF target.

II. Key Development Trends

...................................................................................................................................................................1 Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) Report, December 2012.

...................................................................................................................................................................

2 LabourForce Survey (LFS) 2013. 3 World Bank World Development Indicators (WDI) series, 2012. 4 EIU, op.cit.; Central Bank Bulletin, various dates.5 UNRC Economic Briefing, Quarter 4 2012.6 Ibid.

Employment and labour market trends reported in 2012, which are central to securing pro-poor growth, were somewhat better over those reported a year earlier; the overall participation rate showed improvement (59.3 vs. 58.5 percent), especially for women (36.0 vs. 29.2 percent)2. These Outcome indicators show on-track performances. However, with regard to the budgetary position, where the share of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) allocated to health and education is used as a proxy for pro-poor budgeting, the trends are somewhat disappointing. The overall percentage expended in these sectors declined to 3.4 percent of GDP3.

Provisional data show the Ready Made Garments (RMG) sector remained the engine of growth, with this likely to continue to have a positive impact on the level and pace of poverty reduction, given the sector’s labour intensity and linkages with the wider, but generally informal, service sector4. It is notable, however, that the economic “footprint” of RMG is almost entirely urban, and particularly focused on the core cities. It is also critical to recognize the importance of agriculture, fisheries and livestock to the livelihoods of the poor, and hence, the poverty impact of growth. A majority of the workforce continues to be engaged in these activities, regardless of their falling share of GDP. Bangladesh continues to experience one of the most rapid urbanization processes in Asia, at an annual rate of 4 to 6 percent. Coupled with population growth and land tenure issues, this has led to an increasing number of people – estimated at more than 7 million – living in poverty and in informal urban settlements with poor access to basic services.

In line with national trends, however,employment opportunities in urban areas increased, especially for urban women, whose labour force participation rose from 27.4 percent in 2005 to 34.5 percent in 2010. This, along with other economic data, underlines the ongoing economic vibrancy of cities.

The continuing resilience of international remittances and the flow of workers overseas also are positive features in development trends. These act both as a support to national incomes and are crucial to the balance of payments position, which alongside the fiscal deficit emerged as a key policy issue during the year5. Indeed, severe budgetary and balance of payment difficulties were only avoided through swift policy actions by the Government and central bank. These pressures will remain present in 2013 and may have some direct impact on UN System programming as the Government continues to rein in spending levels6. Price inflation weakened during 2012, due especially to moderating prices for food and other staples, and this will benefit the living standards of the poor.

15

Nevertheless, the Consumer Price Index is likely to remain above 7 percent in 2013, and reversals are possible, especially if a major climatic event occurs.

Two further less positive economic features also must be noted: First, the geographical pattern of growth is becoming more uneven and is likely to drive spatial inequalities. Second, the economy and the livelihoods of the poor themselves remain vulnerable to climatic events and ongoing environmental degradation. Bangladesh remains among the countries most vulnerable to climate change as well as a disaster risk hot spot, with a host of profound, multi-layered challenges that result in increased vulnerability. Large-scale climatic events in the country were absent in 2012, although 1.3 million people were affected in the southwest region by small-scale flooding and landslides.

National disaster management capacity, including the prioritization and integration of Disaster Risk Reduction and climate change adaptation across sectors, continued to strengthen. Central to this was enactment of the Disaster Management Act 2012, which was a catalyst for institutional reform that formalized the comprehensive disaster management system and provided legal empowerment to disaster-vulnerable people. A new humanitarian architecture, aligned with global best-practice principles and linked to the nationaldevelopment framework, is expected to strengthen humanitarian coordination under Government leadership.

Meanwhile, agricultural output performed well for the year, while steady progress was recorded in policy enhancement and market penetration of energy-efficient appliances and cleaner energy generation. No significant progress in food production diversification was recorded, highlighting that macroeconomic growth and higher agricultural productivity, although essential are inadequate on their own to address food security and nutrition. Food access, however, has been substantially strengthened, and a steady decline in food inflation in the early part of 2012 continued till the later part of the year. Food adulteration,contamination and poor oversightof the production-to-consumption chain are growing concerns that threaten the safety of the quality of food supply, public health and economic productivity. At the same time, overall growth in rural areas, although lower than that in urban areas, continues to provide a bulwark to domestic demand and incomes.

Critically, gender equality remains highly challenged in Bangladesh; although the country has ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and is a signatory to the Beijing Platform for Action, there has been little progress in withdrawing remaining national reservations to the Convention. Continuing large differentials between women and men’s labour force participation rates, for both urban and rural areas, underscores the strength of gender-based disparities. Violence Against Women (VAW) remains a particularly prevalent and socially sensitive issue.

16

Despite impressive progress in improving maternal mortality and reproductive health services in Bangladesh, there remain serious shortfalls in maternal health outcomes and access to services, particularly for poor women and in hard-to-reach areas. These shortfalls are due in part to the comparative absence of a skilled health workforce with the full spectrum of basic midwifery skills and competencies at facility and community levels; this is now being addressed. To meet MDG5 at national level, for example, Bangladesh must increase the proportion of births attended by skilled health personnel to 50 percent by 2015.

A positive trend in the social services relates to a continuing reduction in the open defecation rate, now standing at 4 percent7. This remarkable achievement has been possible through intensive social mobilization, including efforts supported by the UN System, which has contributed to shifts in social norms.

Significantly, 2012 also marked an important strategic shift for the Government through the mainstreaming of nutrition within the health sector and significant attention given tonutrition as a crosscutting development issue. This is particularly crucial given that under weight among under-5 children, although declining, remains high, at 36 percent,

.....................................................................................................................................7 JMP, 2012.8 BDHS 2011; United Nations global estimates, 2012.

with stunting among young children even higher, at 41 percent. The prevalence of anaemia among children, adolescent girls and pregnant women also remains high, at 40 percent, while the proportion of malnourished people overall stands at 16.8 percent8. Appropriate complementary feeding represents a major concern, with only 1 in 5 infants benefiting from a minimally acceptable diet.

All this underscores the need for an integrated and multi-sectoral set of targetedinterventions by the Government with technical support from the UN Agencies and in line with the National Food Policy Plan of Action 2008-2015 and Country Investment Plan (CIP) for Agriculture, Food Security and Nutritionthat are being monitored by the Food Planning and Monitoring Unit, Ministry of Food in collaboration with 17 partner ministries andgovernment departments and agencies. The CIP, developed with UN assistance and sustained by an inclusive multi-stakeholder coordination mechanism, has been effective in scaling up total financing for investments in food and nutrition which have risen by about US$3.3 billion, to a total of $6.2 billion, even as the gap to be financed until June 2015 stands at US$3.6 billion. The CIP has been incorporated in 6th FY Plan and GOB is looking to the UN and development partners to extend cooperation to fill this gap of resources.

III. PROGRESS TOWARD UNDAF OUTCOMES AND THE UNITED NATIONS’ CONTRIBUTION

18

Key Government organizations at both national and sub-national levels have demonstrated clear and consistent building of capacity with UN System support. The Bangladesh Election Commission conducted a number of elections in 2012 that were assessed as welladministered by international observers, and public confidence levels have been

Outcome 1.1: Government institutions at national and sub-national levels are able to more effectively carry out their mandates, including delivery of public services, in a more accountable, transparent, and inclusive manner.

maintained. A total of 80 percent of respondents in a 2012 national survey by Democracy International strongly or somewhat agree that the Election Commission is a neutral entity and will conduct elections in a free and fair manner. The voter register has been updated with support of UN Agencies, and 7.01 million names have been added,

19

resulting in a register of 92 million voters. As part of the Election Commission’s decentralization plan, 80 percent of 478 server stations have been completed and are capable of delivering localized electoral services to voters.

Following wide consultations with representatives of different cadres of the Bangladesh Civil Service as well as discussions with leaders of several government employees associations, with assistance from the UN System, a draft of the Public Service Act covering all Government employees and underscoring efficient and merit-based human resource management system, was finalized. The bill’s submission to the Parliament is imminent. Gender mainstreaming issues in human resource management policies also have paid dividends, and an increase of 2.4 percentage points was recorded among women in senior civil servant posts. Presently, a total of 10.5 percent of senior civil servants are women, according to the Public Administration Computer Center, Ministry of Public Administration (see also Pillar 7).

UN System support to Parliament has resulted in enhanced strategic direction of theParliamentary Secretariat, through the drafting of a strategic plan and action plan identifying priorities to improve secretariat services. The UN System has supported strengthened policy interventions by committees on climate change and on women and children, including presentation of preliminary findings of a study on gender responsiveness in the Parliament to the latter committee. This is expected to assist in better accommodating women inParliament as both elected officials and secretariat employees (see also Pillar 7). In addition, UN Agencies also worked to help establish a parliamentary caucus on issues of indigenous peoples, and have supported the inclusion of inputs from indigenous women in the draft Bangladesh Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act. The UN system also took the formal initiative to form women parliamentarians caucus. They also have facilitated workshops to makeparliamentarians more aware of both general issues related to CEDAW and of specific rights of women living with HIV and sex workers, including the prevention of violence, stigma and discrimination, and attention to emerging social, medical and legal issues. This represents a significant step toward positive policy and legal reform for these populations.

The establishment of a Government Innovation Unit in the Prime Minister’s Office has facilitated the identification and dissemination of e-innovation in public service delivery, introduced by civil servants. A total of 56 service providers from 14 Ministries, in 16 districts, have adopted the second-generation citizen charters with UN System support. They have also initiated the development of performance indicators for Public Service Providers (PSP) in order to improve quality and efficiency in service delivery. In addition, to improve demand-side pressures and public accountability in service delivery, 105 committees in 65 upazilas (sub-districts) have been supported to become functional, with 2,210 meetings

held to address communities’ demands and needs. In terms of gender-sensitive budgeting, a Government gender budget report covering 15 Ministries has been prepared with UN System-supported technical and financial assistance, which has highlighted gender-ensitive budgeting in the Medium Term Budgetary Framework and formulation of a sex-disaggregated recurrent, capital, gender and poverty budget database.

South-South cooperation toward achievement of this Outcome has been very rich.Members of the Election Commission gained understanding of the role of electoraladministration in the regional context through observation of elections in Myanmar. Police and other officials visited South Africa and Thailand to learn about modern human resource development, criminal investigation procedures, and management of criminal intelligence. Parliamentarians and officials from the Parliamentary Secretariat studied innovativeparliamentary strategic planning and gender-sensitive budgeting in these two countries. To assist effective implementation of the second-generation of citizen charters, India’s lessons and experiencesinimplementing and monitoring citizen charters was shared andsubsequently applied to piloting districts. India provided a model for learning about tools and implementation strategies for pilot citizen charters, and Indonesia shared knowledge on effective data capture, processing and analysis. In turn, Bangladesh supported 13 countries from Asia and the Pacific, Africa and Latin America by hosting a high-level conference on climate change for members of parliament from Least Developed Countries and most vulnerable nations, out of which a network of concerned parliamentarians was formed (see also Pillar 5).

20

Outcome 1.2: Justice and human rights institutions are strengthened to better serve and protect the rights of all citizens,including women and vulnerable groups.

Supported by the UN System, the Government took initiatives in 2012 to improve policy and legislative frameworks that strengthen justice institutions and human rights protection for women, children and people with disabilities in particular (see also Pillar 7). Publicconfidence in the police service has increased, with 50 percent of the public surveyed by Democracy International responding that they had such confidence, up from 45 percent in

a 2010 baseline survey. Moreover, greater perceptions of capacity and professionalism are resulting in improved levels of confidence in law and order institutions as a whole. According to a 2013 survey by the Daily Star and CSR, 50 percent of the public believes law and order has improved, although obstacles remain to efficient access to justice, particularly for the poor and vulnerable.

21

In a pilot initiative supported by UN system across 5 districts working to activate the Upazilla and Union level referral committees and District Legal Aid Committees as well as increasing national awareness of the State legal aid services provision, the average number of monthly legal aid service recipients increased by 154% over 18 months where approximately 50% of recipients were women [in 2010 average 79 service recipients per month; in 2012 average 201 service recipients per month]. Further to this, improved service provision was reflected in the decrease of number of days required to process legal aid applications from 30 days in 2010 to on an average 2 days at the pilot districts. During the period, figures for application of legal aid fund nationally also showed a 40% increase. A national case management committee has been established under the auspices of the Supreme Court to specifically review case management and put in place a more streamlined system to address the huge backlog of cases in lower courts. Amendments to the Powers of Attorney Act and Civil Procedure Code, support by the UN System, also should speed up case times, with clear deadlines for conclusion of cases in place.

UN Agencies are assisting local-level justice structures to rapidly start to reach out to communities. In an independent evaluation survey of the performance of village courts in 2012, 69 percent of petitioners and respondents were satisfied or very satisfied with the manner in which their case was handled. Of these, 64 percent believed that social problems and petty crimes were occurring less in their locality due to the presence of village courts.

As a result of increased capacity of village court officials, along with rising demand-side pressures from the public, 10,553 cases were resolved in line with the Village Court Act in 2012, a 30 percent increase over 2011. Tailored workshops and public awareness campaigns were supported by UN Agencies to promote awareness of village courts, especially among women. As a result, 32 percent of cases in 2012 (5,161 out of 16,588) included women petitioners, a sharp rise from 2 percent the year before (see also Pillar 7).

A total of 46 percent of legal aid recipients were women, further ensuring equality in access to justice.

22

The NHRC played an important role in directing changes to key national legislation in 2012, by using its increased capacities to provide expert opinions and evidence-based reports that have assisted in aligning legislation on children, persons with disabilities, and migrant workers with international standards.

A 2012 Results Oriented Monitoring (ROM) report by the European Commission concluded that, following training, the knowledge of Union Parishad chairpersons of village court procedures is now excellent and that these localized courts are providing justice tocommunities in a timely and affordable manner. On a policymaking level, national ownership increased with revisions to the Village Court Act 2006 and further policy buy-in, with Government orders providing greater clarity on jurisdiction of the village courts. Dispute resolution capacity in refugee camps also has strengthened, with 70 percent of 1,112 cases during the year resolved through mediation. Government officials were supported to brief participants at a regional conference in India on alternative dispute resolutions, including village courts, and related reforms for increased access to justice.

Turning to broader issues of human rights, Bangladesh’s most recent Universal Periodic Review (UPR) submission, supported by the UN System, has helped develop particular insight within the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on the implementation and national obligations under international treaties. The UPR consultation process included coordination among UN Agencies to ensure the inclusion of issues of vulnerable groups, including indigenous peoples. In its UPR report, the NHRC concluded that important steps had been taken to implement 25 of the 34 accepted recommendations from the 2009 UPR process for the country. However, there remain areas that require continued engagement, particularly the persistent of alleged rights abuses involving paramilitary units of the police9.

Overall, the NHRC capacity to report on and defend human rights has been strengthened through UN System support, including through a study visit to learn from successful commission models in Malaysia and Philippines.

The NHRC played an important role in directing changes to key national legislation in 2012, by using its increased capacities to provide expert opinions and evidence-based reports that have assisted in aligning legislation on children, persons with disabilities, and migrant workers with international standards. The Government also submitted its Fifth Periodic Report on implementation of the Convention of the Rights of the Child (CRC) in 2012 and has set targets for the elimination of the worst forms of child labour by 2016. In collaboration with the Association for Land Reform and Development, the NHRC strengthenedSouth-South cooperation with countries such as India and Philippines through its organization of a regional workshop that resulted in adoption of a declaration to assure effectiveimplementation of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and to encourage governments to take action to protect public and private property......................................................................................................................................

Supported by the UN System, the NHRC launched a campaign on domestic violence against women along with a series of policy dialogues on access to services by people living with HIV and by sexual minorities. Victim support centres are increasingly becoming a model for the country as provisions are included in the mid-term budget providing a sustainable support service for victims of VAW (see also Pillar 7). These centres provided support to 411 women and children in 2012. The UN System provided training and support to staffmembers of the centres and Government officials, including judges and law enforcement personnel, on CEDAW, the Domestic Violence Act 2010, and the Sexual Harassment Act, to further understanding of these key human rights provisions. Drafting of an action plan for implementation of the national Women’s Development Policy 2011 is under way.

Meanwhile, the police service, with support from UN Agencies, has continued to promote gender equality within its ranks as well. A gender and anti-discrimination policy for the Bangladesh Police has been drafted, setting out clearly the rights of women police. The ratio of women on the force has increased significantly. During 2012 alone, 1,524 women were recruited, representing nearly 12 percent of recruits and totalling 525 more than in 2011. Recruitment is being supported with workplace reform to ensure a woman-friendlyenvironment on the job. Six new model sub-districts for police have specific accommodation wings for women to encourage greater diversity on the force, and a children’s nursery facility has been opened in Dhaka to provide daycare facilities for children of police. In the field of human trafficking (see also Pillar 3), 149 police officers received training resulting from cooperation among UN Agencies. A total of 148 investigations were begun. In 2012, 320 victims, including 184 women and children, were recovered out of 405 reported victims.

UN System advocacy has resulted in more than 10,500 news stories related to children and child rights being published in national newspaper, according to media monitoring in 2012. In addition, 350 child rights-related programmes aired on national television and radio, reaching an estimated audience of 120 million. As part of local capacity development, technical support provided to the National Institute for Local Government has resulted in the development of a comprehensive training package for local administrators at district, upazila and union levels to strengthen coordination, participatory planning and monitoring and reporting on issues of children and women.

Major progress was achieved in the context of the UN System’s work on labour market reform and policies. Foremost, 2012 saw the adoption of the National Technical and Vocational Qualifications Framework (NTVQF), secured through UN leadership and brokerage. This provides a national frame for accrediting various qualifications and for moving the training and skills agenda forward to secure higher-value-added work,

increased productivity and better working conditions. The UN System also has been actively engaged in delivery of apprenticeship training; trainee hiring rates have been strong, at 65 percent in the leather sector, for example; 80 percent of the youth programme; and 100 percent in shipbuilding. These efforts have played a catalytic role in spurring the growth in labour market participation and employment levels.

PILLAR TWO

PRO-POORGROWTHWITH EQUITY

Outcome 2.1: Economic growth is achieved in an inclusive manner, extending opportunities to the rural and urban poor and protecting the vulnerable from shocks.

25

A total of 30,000 extreme poor women and their households were assisted to achieve impressive growth in incomes, assets and food security, with income, for example, sharply rising by more than 200 percent (see also Pillar 7)10.

The UN System has specifically addressed the economic empowerment of women migrant workers, protecting rights in overseas employment and strengthening skills training programmes (see also Pillar 7). To address the concerns of target groups, this has included preparation of standard worker contracts and a Memorandum of Understanding with the Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Training; inclusion of an article related to protection of migrant rights in the Overseas Employment and Migrant Workers Rights Bills; development of training manuals for the caregiving trade, for overseas workers; and establishment and consolidation of a network of women migrant workers to build capacity to seek relevant policy change. Focus also has been given to supporting measures for social protection of returnee migrant workers and their families.

The year also saw considerable developments with UN System support with regard to social protection policy, drawing on the Government’s commitment in 2011 to develop a National Social Protection Strategy (NSPS) (see also Pillar 3). UN Agencies’ technical, advocacy and capacity development support thus has enabled development a major policy intervention to spur wholesale reform of the social protection system in Bangladesh and of individual Ministry welfare programmes, based on an innovative life cycle approach. This is being taken forward by an inter-ministerial sub-committee coordinated by the General Economics Division (GED), Planning Commission which reports to the larger Central Monitoring Committee on Social Safety Net Programmes chaired by the Cabinet Secretary. Specific UN-sponsored initiativesincluded: (1) support to several high-level policy events and a weeklong residential training course on social protection policy for mid-level policymakers and technical staff; (2) carrying out of a joint mission to support the Planning Commission to deliver the NSPS, including a draft Action Plan, followed by longer-term substantive interventions; and (3) sponsorship of a substantive research programme by the International Food Policy Research Institute.

In terms of social protection delivery, the UN System maintained a strong field presence, supporting food security for the ultra-poor, among others (see also Pillar 4). At the same time, the UN System has maintained capacity development activities with the Government’s Vulnerable Group Development Programme. A total of 30,000 extreme poor women and their households were assisted to achieve impressive growth in incomes, assets and food security, with income, for example, sharply rising by more than 200 percent (see also Pillar 7)10. Most of the households covered are considered to be on the path to a sustainable exit from poverty. A stronger focus also is being given to prevention of undernutrition,particularly among vulnerable pregnant and lactating women and under-5 children (see also Pillars 3 and 4).

Some success also has been recorded within social protection and national budgeting processes as part of the UN System’s advocacy work on human rights and equity, specifically relating to sexual minorities and marginalized groups (see also Pillar 1). Notably, budget allocations have been ensured for the transgender population and work to include people living with HIV in national social protection schemes is well-advanced. The UN System also has been working with the Government on revising the National Strategic Plan and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Framework Plan on HIV/AIDS.

National policy support activities have focused on building Government capacity to shape the use of resources and channel growth into pro-poor areas and achieve key development targets. This has been enabled through both an MDG M&E project, which ended in 2012, and a new aid effectiveness project. These are situated within the Planning Commission and

the Ministry of Finance respectively. The former has not only assisted the Government in planning and allocating resources to meet MDG objectives, but also has been instrumental in providing a platform for the dialogue on post-2015 development goals. Additionally, the-post 2015 process has been taken on by General Economics Division (GED), which with UN support will be organizing a series of further activities and events. The aid effectiveness project, meanwhile, has begun the process of building capacity in development assistance management, an intervention that will prove crucial in ensuring resource planning decisions remain pro-poor. A specific area of activity has been to support the strengthening of the Local Consultative Group (LCG) machinery; as a result, the number of related Joint Cooperation Strategy milestones that have been completed has more than doubled, from 5 to 11.

The cornerstone of the UN System’s approach to vulnerable groups engaged in farming remains the creation of Farmer Field Schools, an interactive and community-based method that involves the creation of a local organization and strengthening of collective capacity to build social and economic capital.

The cornerstone of the UN System’s approach to vulnerable groups engaged in farming remains the creation of Farmer Field Schools, an interactive and community-based method that involves the creation of a local organization and strengthening of collective capacity to build social and economic capital. With a stronger voice, farmers can better engage in bargaining, leading to inclusion and protection in markets. Greater opportunities for farmers have been provided by UN Agencies through input delivery and technology transfer, accompanied by access to new productive assets.

Area-based inputs, currently carried out under the major Chittagong Hill Tracts Development Facility (CHTDF), supported 3,257 communities within Para Development Committees (PDCs) for livelihoods work, and covered around 63,000 poor and vulnerable households (350,000 people)11. The Facility has overhauled its local economic development work, which is now making a major difference in economic and labour market activity within thisdisadvantaged sub-region of the country; micro-studies and qualitative evidence continue to show greater levels of employment and declining rates of poverty. This may be attributable in large part to the positive changes brought about through the formation of more than 1,650 effective women’s groups through income-generating activities, targeted capacity development, advocacy and leadership initiatives; engagement of women in project planning, formulation and management; greater women’s access to Government and non-Government information and services related to the project; increased leadership in financial control and management; enhanced skills development; and opportunities for regular savings (see also Pillar 7)

In addition, area-based activities, supported by the UN System have focused on a series of activities in the shrimp-processing sector around quality and inspection. These have included: (1) training of 217 staff from 50 factories to implement social compliancerequirements; (2) technical assistance to training of trainers programmes for fisheries inspection quality control, as well as provision of testing kits to the Ministry of Fisheries for quality control of fisheries products ; (3) follow-on training of industry personnel in the Chittagong and Khulna regions; and (4) the successful lifting of the mandatory 20 percent

testing requirement of seafood industry products by the European Union12. The latterrepresents a particularly major impact and is expected to deliver real improvements in competitiveness, and in turn, new employment opportunities in this crucial sector.

A number of other coordinated programmatic activities are in the planning stages, including a Joint Programme on pro-poor trade and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), additionalarea-based development, and support to master plans for agricultural development in southern Bangladesh and the Chittagong Hill Tracts (see also Pillar 4).

Highlights under Outcome 3.1 include UN System support in planning, financing,implementation and M&E, including partnerships and coordination. In health, UN Agencies are working with the Government to implement operational plans improving services and strengthening systems, under the Health, Population and Nutrition Sector Development Plan (HPNSDP) and the National Health Policy 2011. Health policy dialogues and strategic

forums are providing key opportunities for inclusive development, promotion of research and organization of workshops on evidence generation and utilization. In particular, UN Agencies have supported women-friendly hospitals, including in the area of addressing VAW, to strengthen their institutional service provision and capacity development (see also Pillar 7).

PILLAR THREE

SOCIAL SERVICESFOR HUMANDEVELOPMENT

Outcome 3.1: Deprived populations in selected areas, particularly women, children and youth, benefit from increased and more equitable utilization of quality health and population, education, water, sanitation and HIV services.

29

During the year, 14 of the 20 UNDAF districts implementing local-level capacity development interventions utilized more than 75 percent of funds disbursed against local-level plans. Local-level planning was completed in selected UNDAF districts under joint initiatives with the Government to address maternal and neonatal health issues in particular. These focus on strengthening facility-based maternal, neonatal and child health (MNCH) services by addressing implementation bottlenecks through plans at district and sub-district levels.

Facility-based interventions included support to delivery of integrated management of childhood illness (IMCI) and emergency obstetric care (EmOC), along with establishment of special-care newborn units at secondary- and tertiary-level hospitals. Remarkable progress made in the area of midwifery, including the launching of the nation’s first midwifery diploma programme, which is expected to result in long-term improvements in the country’s maternal health situation. The development of midwives in Bangladesh is moving forward rapidly following the Government’s commitment to educate and deploy 3,000 midwives by 2015.

Community-based MNCH interventions were implemented in nine UNDAF districts covering more than 17 million people, addressing demand-side bottlenecks. A pay-for-performance initiative with health personnel has led to increased coverage of institutional deliveries at district- and upazila-level health facilities and, in turn, to quality improvements. A positive developmentis the institutionalization of a maternal and perinatal death review, which allows the generation and analysis of data on mothers, neonates and stillborn infants, as well as translation of this analysis into more targeted and strategic programmatic action (see also Pillar 7).

To reach the unreached children aged 0-5 years with immunization, UN System support contributed to development and implementation of micro-plans in all 35 upazilas of five UNDAF districts. Field workers and supervisors were trained on the introduction of new vaccines, thereby facilitating the smooth introduction of measles-rubella and measles second-dose vaccines. Uninterrupted supplies and a functional cold chain were maintained at all levels in the five districts.

In education, strong UN System advocacy has resulted in the Government’s announcement that all registered non-Government primary schools will be turned into Government primary schools, marking a significant positive change that is expected to have great impact in the coming years. This change, which will benefit about 3 million children in 20,000 schools per year, will eliminate the discrepancy in Government support provided to these

two types of schools and should improve the delivery of quality primary education. A further system-level improvement is the introduction of a teacher training programme leading to a Diploma in Education, which is being piloted with technical support from UN Agencies. Meanwhile, the Government has included the school feeding programme in its Annual Development Programme to improve the micronutrient status, learning ability and school attendance among poor primary school-age children.

Remarkable progress made in the area of midwifery, including the launching of the nation’s first midwifery diploma programme, which is expected to result in long-term improvements in the country’s maternal health situation.

30

Also with UN technical support, the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education (MoPME) has developed a pre-primary education expansion plan. The plan defines minimum standards and proposes gradual improvement of quality and access to pre-primary education through the coordinated action of Government and non-Government actors. The support from UN Agencies is unlocking the effective utilization of US$319 million allocated to pre-primary education. MoPME also has initiated a process of developing curriculum materials for the

.....................................................................................................................................13 International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR,B) Health Impact Study, preliminary data,2012. estimates, 2012.

provisionof education in six ethnic-minority languages, with UN Agencies bringing their technical expertise and experience to bear. In collaboration with other development partners, the UN System also provided technical support to MoPME to pilot a practical model to address the persistent issue of low learning achievement. Lastly, with the support of UN System, MoPME has developed a strategy for raising awareness on other key education issues such as education of children with disabilities and creation of child-friendly learning environments.

Technical assistance of the UN Agencies has been instrumental in helping MoPME to successfully launch and scale up the school feeding programme, which is benefiting 2.5 million children in poor areas with the distribution of micronutrient-fortified biscuits. De-worming treatments also have been undertaken for these children, including 70,000 ethnic-minority children from the Chittagong Hill Tracts. In addition, the Ministry has setup a coordination unit for activities in 34 upazilas under 16 districts.

The UN System supported interventions to increase access to improved water and sanitation facilities and key hygiene promotion messages for more than 7.8 million people in 23 districts in 2012, including in six UNDAF districts. Through these interventions, significant progress was achieved at household, school, community and Government levels to improve access to, use of and demand for safe water and improved food hygiene and sanitation, which in turn can positively affect health by addressing issues of stunting or delayed mental development of children. Wide-ranging interventions supported by UN Agencies have contributed to a demonstrated reduction in diarrhoeal rates13, particularly in rural areas, through improved access to safe water, a reduction in open defecation, and an improvement in the very low rates of hygienic behaviours. This achievement has been possible through technical and strategic support by UN Agencies at national, sub-national and community levels.

At policy level, UN System support has resulted in the formulation and adoption of the National Hygiene Strategy and WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) in Schools standards, along with dissemination of a sector development plan (2011-2025) and a strategy for hard-to-reach areas and people. UN advocacy efforts and technical assistance also have resulted in the integration of WASH priorities into the National Urban Policy and the Water Act. Government institutions were supported to improve the accuracy of water quality testing related to arsenic contamination through the procurement of arsenic testing kits, training and real-time data collection and analysis, critical given that an estimated 22 million people

consume water containing excessive levels of arsenic. Local Government bodies also received innovative technical, managerial and financial assistance to design, plan andmaintain WASH facilities. Communities, meanwhile, were supported to demand improved WASH facilities and services and to mitigate the impact of natural disasters.

Steady gains also are being made in the fight against HIV and AIDS and other communicable diseases. Eleven Agencies collaborated with the Government to finalize a four-year UN Joint Support Programme on HIV/AIDS that aligns collective UN key results with the National HIV and AIDS Strategic Plan and its M&E framework. UN-supported awareness raising campaigns to prevent HIV reached about 126,000 returnee migrants and people in migration-prone areas.

Meanwhile, capacities of Bangladesh’s health service providers are being developed on treatment, support, combating stigma and discrimination, and human rights of people living with HIV, through collaboration between the UN System and the National AIDS/STD Programme. Key results in 2012 included the revision of national anti-retroviral therapy (ART) guidelines and Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) guidelines to align with updated international standards; mainstreaming of PMTCT services into the curricula of three medical universities; mainstreaming of HIV education into pre-departure briefings to outgoing migrant workers; and conducting of a situation analysis in six prisons on needs for HIV services. UN System support has resulted in sensitization and orientation of policymakers as well as formation of a steering committee on linkages between HIV and sexual and reproductive health, which is providing technical guidance to mainstream this linkage of issues. Capacities of planners and implementers of national NGOs and networking organizations likewise are being developed to implement and monitor integrated HIV- and sexual and reproductive health-related services.

Extension of the Global Fund grant for HIV has assured that interventions among key affected populations will be continued, including technical support to the Government for inclusion and expansion of opioid substitution therapy, drafting of the National Strategic Plan of Action on Migration and Health (HIV and tuberculosis), and drafting of the National HIV Risk Reduction Strategy for most-at-risk adolescents. The Government monitoring, evaluation and strategic information system for HIV and AIDS also is being revitalized with UN System support, and relevant evaluations, integrated surveillance and practical application of tools are under way to strengthen evidence-based action.

Other key interventions under Pillar 3 in 2012 included working with city corporations and other major stakeholders to ensure provision of a package of basic services in selected urban communities (see also Pillar 6).

32

Although several social protection schemes are in place, a need has existed for acomprehensive child-sensitive and equitable National Social Protection Strategy (see also Pillar 2). UN System support to develop a profile on existing social protection measures in Bangladesh, including safety nets, and its facilitation of overseas training for officials is contributing to development of this strategy. Meanwhile, adoption of the National Labour Policy 2012 – which emphasizes social protection for workers, most of whom are outside any social security scheme - likewise is a positive development.

On goingUN-supported initiatives aim to address gaps not only at policy level, but also at

institutional and operational levels. In partnership with key stakeholders, UN support under Pillar 3 is particularly focusing on designing a comprehensive social protection model that brings together social services and protective systems, with particular attention to the social norms that restrain the realization of child rights. The imminent enactment of the new Children Act will provide required policy underpinnings for more decisive action in this area (see also Pillar 2); the law makes provisions for access to revenue for scaling up social protection services. To support operationalization of the Act, UN Agencies are collaborating with nine relevant Government Ministries and other partners to develop a budgeting framework that is child-sensitive.

Outcome 3.2: Children, women and youth demand and benefit from effective social protection policies and improved services aimed at eliminating abuse, neglect, exploitation and trafficking.

33

The amended Birth and Death Registration Act approved by the Cabinet, which includes the establishment of a Register General Office, also will strengthen the policy framework for child-sensitive budget allocations. The UN System is supporting increased efficiency in birth registration, with more than 55 million of 150 million manually registered birth records now computerized. A draft alternative care policy was developed and submitted to the Ministry of Social welfare with the support of UN Agencies. The policy introduces alternative care options for children without parental care and vulnerable children, and facilitates the reduction of unnecessary institutionalization. In all, child rights monitoring is ongoing in all districts, with more than 670 Government officials trained in use of the framework developed to monitor compliance with the CRC.

In 2012, the continuum-of-care approach was operationalized for child protection,encompassing prevention, identification of children at risk or victims of abuse or exploitation, assessment, referral and services provision. Based on equity-focused situation analysis, it was replicated in selected areas at sub-national level, providing child-sensitive social protection services among vulnerable communities such as urban slums, tea gardens, and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) affected by natural disasters. Software for the case management database has been developed, and once rolled out, the database will become a hub allowing tracking of children benefiting from all child protection services, thereby facilitating adequate Government budget allocations to this area. Building knowledge and strengthening capacities for community empowerment and resilience also are greatly contributing to establishment of a solid basis to operationalize social protection policies and strategies.

UN efforts under Pillar 3 to halt human trafficking have led to concrete actions (see also Pillar 1). Shelter and legal assistance services were provided to 55 trafficked men, women and children through partnership with a national non-Government organization (NGO). Training also was provided to a select number of lawyers and public prosecutors on the application of the new Human Trafficking Deterrence and Suppression Act 2012. In addition, aweb-based Crime Database Management System was established at police headquarters and operationalized in all 64 district police stations.

Other UN-supported activities related to the prevention of violence, abuse and exploitation include partnerships with national institutions that led to provision of child protection services to vulnerable and/or affected populations. A total of 3,000 adolescents, including 2,004 girls, were provided with support in the form of conditional stipends for income generation, civic action or personal development (see also Pillar 7).

Lastly, 31,487 adolescent girls and boys began civic engagement in their communities through adolescent clubs on issues of child marriage and child labour to stimulate debate

31,487 adolescent girls and boys began civic engagement in their communities through adolescent clubs on issues of child marriage and child labour to stimulate debate on these harmful social norms and practices.

on these harmful social norms and practices. Based on the results of research on adolescent suicide ideation, a theory of change was formulated on the empowerment of adolescents to prevent child marriage, a first step toward communities publicly declaring themselves free of such practices through adoption of community-based social compacts (see also Outcome 3.3). A related monitoring framework is under development.

34

A vital ingredient in achieving Pillar 3 results involves communication for social change and development. The UN System has clearly defined communication for development (C4D) as a social process based on dialogue that seeks change at different levels, including building trust, sharing knowledge and skills, and building policy for meaningful change, using an array of channels, tools and methods. Initiatives supported by UN Agencies followed a multi-pronged strategy to promote the practice of child- and gender-sensitive behaviours and social norms that included awareness raising, brokering and convening, evidence generation, and national capacity development. This was carried out in collaboration with Government agencies, civil society and community efforts.

In this area, strategy advocacy resulted in a National Social Change Forum being formed to address issues of child marriage, child labour and corporal punishment. This is particularly crucial because, for example, Bangladesh has had an act against child marriage since 1929, yet non-enforcement has encouraged the practices continued prevalence, with almost one-third of women aged 20-24 (32.3 percent) married by age 1514. In all, the Forum is expected to strengthen the partnership among Government, civil society and development partners around these critical child rights issues to create a more protective environment for children. In addition, the media were engaged in a pioneering dialogue on how to collaborate with children as change agents to reach their peers for concerted action on these issues.

Meanwhile, in 2012 awareness and access to information increased for 55.1 million people – more than one-third of the population – on maternal health, childcare and feeding, water, sanitation, hygiene and handwashing, as well as on protective “facts for life” practices. This was achieved through the broadcast of TV and radio spots, as well as docudramas with episodes on maternal and child health, aired on national television to address widespread knowledge gaps. Key messages on food safety and hygiene at household level also were disseminated through print and audiovisual media by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), while consumer group Information on food handling practices was gathered and outreach materials on safe practices was prepared and distributed.

Outcome 3.3: Deprived community members in selected areas practice key life-saving, care and protective behaviours and raise their demands for quality social services.

.....................................................................................................................................14Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) 2007.

35

General awareness on disability also increased as a result of a multiple-media strategy that included radio and TV spots and print materials to generate discourse and promote actions toward social inclusiveness. These efforts likewise reached an estimated one-third of the population and contributed to the advancement of human rights for all in Bangladesh through a group targeting approach.

To increase impact, an intensive safe motherhood campaign was launched to coincide with two key national events celebrated annually, Midwifery Day and Safe Motherhood Day. Implementation of a package of interventions included a roundtable discussion in the media, newspaper supplements and an opinion piece on safe motherhood published in national newspapers with wide circulation. It is estimated that these efforts reached more than 128 million people throughout the intensified campaign months. Outcomes of these interactions with society are being assessed, and analysis of findings will help draw lessons on the impact of interventions that can be scaled up to include other key behaviours being promoted by the UN System.

AUN-supported national assessment to identify barriers to full realization of the rights of children and women to benefit from social sector interventions revealed significant

knowledge gaps for caregivers and immediate family members alike. The analysis ofbottlenecks revealed that access to adequately staffed services and information is particularly constrained by the lack of adequate health education at facility level. In turn, this assessment has provided the required insight to develop strategies to target and remove these barriers to improved practices of protective behaviours.

Lastly, operational standards, tools and resources on C4D were developed and used to support quality training. In addition, guidelines to support community radio listening groups and operational guidelines on Social and Behavioural Change Communication cells to coordinate C4D activities among partners were developed and rolled out to partner NGOs and Government counterparts in seven UNDAF districts. In addition, support was provided for quality training on interpersonal communication and on engaging communities to address bottlenecks in knowledge, attitudes, practices and social norms. As a follow-up, 230 frontline workers, including ward promoters, para workers and union coordinators, gained new skills for effective interpersonal communication, counselling and socialmobilization, with an emphasis on effective handwashing, where rates remain at less than 5 percent.These UN System-supported efforts set a solid basis for national capacity development of social actors at different levels.

PILLAR FOUR

FOOD SECURITYAND NUTRITION

Outcome 4.1: The urban and rural poor have adequate food security and nutrition throughout the life cycle.

Progress toward achieving the Pillar 4 Outcome has been substantial both in terms of nutrition and food security outputs, especially among vulnerable groups, including under-5 children and poor pregnant and lactating women. The UN System continues to support the Government’s efforts to enhance its comprehensive approach to food and nutrition security and poverty reduction, through a combination of policy support and capacity development at both institutional and individual levels. Strengthening Government mechanisms at

national and local levels and support to instituting of policies thus forms a unifying theme for the work of Pillar 4 members. Within this framework, the UN Agencies are providing technical assistance to the Food Planning and Monitoring Unit (FPMU), Ministry of Food, to strengthen a composite inter-Ministerial governance mechanism for coordinating the formulation and monitoring of food security and Nutrition Plan of Action and the Country Investment Plan across 17 Ministries, departments and agencies.

37

To inform this process, a set of 16 research initiatives on key food security and nutrition issues has been initiated with the involvement of CSOs and academia. UN Agencies are also providing technical and financial assistance to the Institute of Public Health and Nutrition (IPHN), under the supervision of MoHFW, to strengthen a mainstream response to different forms of malnutrition and to promote healthy dietary practices. As a result, IPHN is undertaking formulation of the National Nutrition Policy 2013, to which aUN-supported NationalMicronutrient Survey also will contribute.

The UN System also is supporting the printing and dissemination of guidelines, training modules and checklists for supervision and monitoring of the implementation of the National Nutritional Services (NNS). Simultaneously, tools are being developed tounderstand demand-side barriers that prevent visits to district health facilities for treatment of children with Severe Acute Malnutrition. Guidelines for a desirable dietary pattern, a complementary feeding manual based on trial of improved practices, national food composition tables and a study to assess food safety risks have been completed. Community-based maternal and child nutrition activities have been implemented with technical and financial contributions of UN Agencies (see also Pillar 3).

In 2012 partnerships were developed with key NGOs, supported by urban municipalities in Dhaka, to mainstream essential nutrition services into urban public health service provision, with a particular focus on poor communities. Through these new partnerships, support is being provided to local urban bodies, partners and stakeholders in building and strengthening essential systems for information, monitoring, coordination and human resource development in nutrition. Innovative platforms to reach the most vulnerable have been piloted in settings such as garment factories, thereby reaching key groups including young women and mothers.

Establishing and strengthening essential systems for coordination and information on food and nutrition security has been another important area of focus. The UN System issupporting the establishment of a Food Security and Nutrition Information System within the Ministry of Food in coordination with other partners, particularly the Department of Agricultural Marketing, Management Information System-Health, and Food SecurityNutritional Surveillance Project. To enhance coordination, the MDG-F Joint Programme has undertaken a mapping of all food security and nutrition programmes in the country. The UN System also has supported identification of appropriate nutrition indicators for integration into the national Health Management Information System, which will improve planning, monitoring, quality and coverage of evidence-based direct nutrition interventions. UN Agencies also targeted the unethical marketing of breastmilk substitutes through design and piloting of a national Breast Milk Substitutes (BMS) monitoring system.

UN Agencies undertook special efforts to enhance national capacities on food safety, which represents a major food security and nutrition issue in Bangladesh. These includedstrengthening capacity within MoHFW and partner Ministries for food analysis, food standards and consumer food safety awareness; development of policies; establishment of food-borne surveillance systems; and strengthening of food inspection and legislation and development of a Food Safety Act and its enactment as well as food safety management systems

The Bangladesh Food Safety Act 2013 under the coordination of the Ministry of Food and a single authority titled ‘Bangladesh Food Safety Authority’ has been proposed forimplementation. The technical support of the UN agencies to assist in the implementation of this Act has been emphasized.

38

A state-of-the-art National Food Safety Laboratory was inaugurated in October 2012 and is expected to address a key gap in the national food control system. Specific support was given to the drafting of a National Food Safety and Quality Policy 2012, expected to fill a key legislative gap, as well as to the Food Safety Emergency Response Plan. Other major achievements have included training and capacity building on healthy and safe street food vending, and provision to vendors of the tools, materials and equipment to institutionalize and implement safe street foods and better meet the food security and nutrition needs of the urban and peri-urban poor.

Product value chains in specific sub-sectors are being supported to showcase the efforts of the private sector in upgrading its food safety regimes. In addition, a three-month food safety awareness and Behaviour Change Communication campaign on simple food safety measures at home was developed and implemented, targeting women and schoolchildren. These comprehensive capacity building efforts have been mainstreamed into the Health Population Nutrition Sector Development Plan (2011-16) and have been highlighted to the Governance Innovation Unit of the Prime Minister’s Office.

Meanwhile, to improve effective coverage of essential nutrition services, the UN System is giving focus to redefining indicators used to monitor nutrition activities, standards used to assess such activities, and reporting systems. A bottleneck analysis approach is being employed. By the end of 2012, 20 upazilas in eight UNDAF districts were implementing a standardized package of essential nutrition services for mothers and children.Through supplementary feeding, a total of 90 unions under six priority districts were being covered for treatment of between 70 and 90 percent of moderately acutely malnourished children and pregnant and lactating women, leading to a recovery rate of more than 60 percent.

Direct technical input from UN Agencies contributed to acceptance of multiple micronutrient powders for prevention and management of anaemia and other deficiencies in young children, thereby increasing the overall availability of fortified foods. The UN System, in collaboration with national and international research institutions, is supporting development of local recipes for children with different degrees of undernutrition. It has supported 13 national oil refineries in producing fortified edible oil with Vitamin A, and assisted the

A state-of-the-art National Food Safety Laboratory was inaugurated in October 2012 and is expected to address a key gap in the national food control system.

Government to draft a national law that will make oil fortification mandatory. UN Agencies also have taken the initiative to produce complementary food supplements, using locally available/preferred ingredients and manufacturers; this could be scaled up to support Government and other stakeholders in efforts to prevent and treat undernutrition, especially among food-insecure vulnerable groups. Support is also being provided to the Bangladesh Breast Feeding Foundation in developing guidelines and recipes forcomplementary feeding in line with international indicators and for use in the community. Integrated agriculture and health based interventions are being implemented through the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock and the National Nutrition Services with technical support from the UN agencies to improve food security and nutrition among mothers and children in selected districts of the South. In a successful pilot initiative, the UN System has introduced cash transfers to enhance the food security of vulnerable women and their families in particular. Regular cash transfers are being offered along with life skills training and networking (see also Pillar 7).

Non-health sectors, notably fisheries and livestock sectors contribution to improving food and nutrition security and their role needs to be leveraged. These sectors also contribute to employment generation. There is a wide gap between total demand and supply of fisheries and livestock. Large scale production of fish, livestock and poultry has been emphasized in 6th FYP and perspective plan (Vision 2021) of the government with specific targets and strategies. There is a need to include fisheries and livestock issues, programmes and targets in the UNDAF and support the development of those sectors for a sustainable food based approach to improve nutrition.

Emergency assistance during the year contributed to the stabilization of food security and nutritional status among food-insecure households in Chittagong Hill Tracts andflood-affected households in the southwest of the country (see also Pillar 5). More than 20,000 disaster-stricken households were provided with support through a focus onimmediate resumption of farming activities and recovery of agriculture-based livelihoods. Support also has been provided in developing food composition tables for ethnic foods and in documenting the nutrient profile of selected foods grown and consumed in the Chittagong Hill Tracts region.

Resilience capacities were built among extreme-poor food-insecure households in the disaster-prone communities of 120 unions. Participants received support in terms of food

and cash for assets and food and cash for training. As a result, consumption of all food items in these unions has increased, including a sharp rise of 167 percent in consumption ofanimal-protein food. In addition, a total of 30,000 extreme-poor households in flood-prone areas of three districts received asset grants.

UN agencies are particularly involved in policy and advocacy activities to ensure effective frameworks are available to bring about long-term change. In addition to ongoing policy-level consultations noted above, Agencies are organizing workshops, joint visits and other means to promote food security and nutrition in the country based on evidence-based research and knowledge generation. For example, a national workshop on raising the exclusive breastfeeding rate provided the scope to analyze factors affecting Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices and the strategy for promoting exclusive breastfeeding in the NNS. A case study on the role of food security and women’s empowerment also has been carried out with UN System support. Support was provided to high-level officials from various Ministries to observe multi-sectorial coordination mechanisms for food safety in the region and to participate in meetings of the Codex Alimentarius Commission on standardsformulation for safe food.

Overall, community-level functionaries of the Government and NGO partners are being trained in nutrition concepts and communication skills. A combination of methods is used, including courtyard sessions, individual counselling, cooking demonstrations and establishment of community gardens and school gardens/fields, all of which have improved the level of knowledge on diet and nutrition. A 25 percent increase in children 0-5 months who are exclusively breastfed and a 27 percent increase in children 6-23 months receiving a minimally acceptable diet was observed in project areas compared to 2011 results. However, there still exists a need for more standardized and harmonized nutrition promotion tools and materials.

In terms of South-South cooperation, two regional workshops were organized to share experiences with partners across South and Southeast Asia. Ministry of Food officials were supported for study tours to selected Asian countries on public food distribution systems and food management issues.

Resilience capacities were built among extreme-poor food-insecure households in the disaster-prone communities of 120 unions.

PILLAR FIVE

CLIMATE CHANGE,ENVIRONMENT,ANDDISASTER RISKREDUCTIONAND RESPONSE

Outcome 5.1: Populations vulnerable to climate change and natural disaster have become more resilient to adapt to risks.

In terms of improved national planning for disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA), adoption of the Disaster Management Act 2012 represented the culmination of many years of concerted advocacy and effort by the UN System, development partners and civil society. The Act provides a basis for managing all elements of disasters as well as provides legal standing for a comprehensive and multi-stakeholder approach to disaster management, a crucial point given that more than 15,000 volunteers in urban areas alone stand ready to alert communities, direct people to shelters, and administer life-saving support. This will have the effect of making disaster management amore transparent process that is underpinned by clear lines of responsibility and accountability.

Also through the advocacy impacts of the UN System, CCA and DRR safeguards wereintroduced into the national planning process for the first time in 2012 through adoption of a new set of relevant guidelines for the Annual Development Programme. This offerspromise to guide future development on pathways toward a disaster- and climate-resilient nation. Gender equality and women’s empowerment forms an important element of UN System efforts on DRR, with more than 70 percent of participants in a key programme to enhance resilience being women (see also Pillar 7). Institutional capacity building efforts have particularly strengthened the awareness of Union Disaster Management Committees (DMCs) of their roles and responsibilities and enhanced DMCs’ abilities to manage local risk reduction schemes.

41

The adoption of the Disaster Management Act 2012 represented the culmination of many years of concerted advocacy and effort by the UN System, development partners and civil society.

In 2012, professionalizing of disaster management in Bangladesh has significantly enhanced with increasing number of professionals and graduate students have completed their post graduate diplomas/trainings. With technical support from CDMP, a total of 283 much students have completed post-graduate diplomas and Masters from 24 universities. Access to knowledge resources have been improved through establishing 10 e-learning centers and 3 knowledge management decentralized system in universities and training centers. The culture of safety at primary education centers has been strengthened and institutionalized in 2012. Disaster management and climate change as a topic has been incorporated into 23 textbooks with CDMP’s continued effort. With regard to preparedness, 6,540 Cyclone Preparedness Volunteer were recruited and thereby bringing 1.6 million people under cyclone preparedness network. Interactive Voice Response Service, text SMS service for disseminating disaster early warning messages through mobile phones has also been acknowledged by wide variety of stakeholders. Incorporation of Disaster risk information into city planning has been promoted to make cities resilient to disasters in 2012.

Creating knowledge products to inform future reforms and interventions has been an additional area of focus. The Climate Public Expenditure and Institutional Review (CPEIR), for example, was the first study on climate financing undertaken by the General Economic Division of the Planning Commission, with UN System support. The study was guided by aninter-departmental team that involved experts from finance, agriculture, disaster management, water management and local Government and revealed that, of the approximately 7 percent of combined annual budget spent on climate change, the overarching focus has been on adaptation (97 percent). Following the study recommendations, the Government isdeveloping national- and local-level climate fiscal frameworks to help mainstream climate change finance into the budget process. UN System support also saw the realization of two new information and knowledge exchange initiatives for CCA and DRR. The Knowledge Network on Climate Change was established with 80 members, mainly Government officials, from across 40 institutions to further mainstream the integration of CCA and DRR into the development process as well as support evidence-based policy advocacy and decision-making. In addition, the UN’ Solution Exchange virtual platform has built a Community of Practice for stakeholders, further fostering the exchange of best practices.

To strengthen field presence and pre-positioning of emergency supplies, the UN System prepared a DRR Strategy that has made a notable contribution in the integration of disaster

risks in sectoral programme planning. In April 2012, this capacity was evident when 2,000 cyclone-affected families of Monpura Upazila, in Bhola District, saved their lives and valuable belongings by constructing temporary shelters with the 4,000 plastic sheets they were given from prepositioned stock. Meanwhile, strengthening disaster management in education will help to build generations of schoolchildren who can become the frontline of defence in reducing Bangladesh’s vulnerability to disasters, both today and in the future.

42

Reducing the physical vulnerability of communities to disaster risks is an essential part of disaster management, and preparedness plays a key role. Given this, improvements in early warning, access to cyclone shelters and overall disaster response in 2012 have significantly e ccthe Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre has increased its lead-time flood forecast for

the Brahmaputra basin from 3 to 5 days, improving the centre’s capacity to give early and accurate warnings and providing greater opportunity for people to protect life and assets.Expansion of the cyclone preparedness network in 2012 gave an additional 1.6 million people in cyclone-prone zones immediate access to early warning, improved mechanisms to reach shelters, and strengthened access to first aid and relief goods and services, as well as increased awareness among union officials, village heads and communities on DRR and CCA15. This is supported by 50,000 volunteers covering the entire coastal belt, including five affected coastal sub-districts that are exposed to new trends in cyclone tracks.

National capacity for emergency response and early recovery was significantly enhanced through stronger partnerships across sectors and actors in 2012. A key achievement in this area is the reinvigorated humanitarian coordination architecture under the auspices of the LCG on Disaster and Emergency Response (DER), as also noted in Section II. In addition, sector-specific humanitarian clusters, led by relevant UN Agencies, are engaging to provide a more strategic, transparent, efficient, effective and coordinated humanitarian response in times of crisis. A post-flooding Joint Needs Assessment carried out in Satkhira in 2012 marked the first cooperative study by the clusters and initiated a new era in joint response.Also in 2012, the UN System has been focused on institutionalizing the regular assessment of climate change-induced vulnerability and health impacts, including building the capacity of health facilities to accommodate major disasters. Emergency preparedness and response plans have been developed for all Civil Surgeon Offices and Upazila Health Complexes. Disaster-related services including for burns and psycho-social health, along with making emergency drugs and equipment available, also has been readied for crisis situation.

With climate change impacts likely to affect agriculture and aquaculture significantly, the UN System is working in vulnerable districts to develop resilient approaches to sustainable food security, poverty reduction and livelihood development, including master plans for integrated agricultural development (see also Pillar 3). A national Aquaculture Development Strategy and Plan was developed with UN support to provide guidance through such methods as promoting the conservation of aquatic biodiversity, enhancing genetic resources, and strengthening measures to harness livelihood opportunities for rural people through employment in aquatic sectors. A sustainable process for knowledge transfer also is being implemented through Farmer Field Schools that allows for farmers to mutually exchange experiences and knowledge and experiment on further improvements in technologies (see also Pillar 4). Meanwhile, the UN System has continued to support the strengthening of diagnostic and surveillance capabilities of national bodies to combat the potential increase of infectious and other transboundary diseases as a result of climate change.

Participatory risk reduction for communities represented a common theme for UN Agencies. For example, participatory community risk assessments were used to identify risks and inform planning around DRR and the construction of new community assets such as embankments/tertiary road facilities, canal systems, and cluster homesteads. Communities were engaged in each stage of planning and implementation, and construction activities provided short-term employment to 82,000 ultra-poor households, around 70 percent of whom were women and often the sole income earner (see also Pillars 3 and 7). Community resilience was further enhanced by protecting or restoring productivity to more than 50,000 hectares of agricultural land to maintain livelihoods, and by providing more than 787,000 people with tertiary road facilities. As a result, the status of rural infrastructure in 117 targeted unions has improved significantly and now addresses an average of 69 percent of total infrastructure requirements, compared to the previous 26 percent16.

Significantly, a UN-supported project on community-based adaptation to climate change through coastal afforestation extended the belt of afforested mangroves by 3,000 ha to provide a “green shield” for an increasing number of vulnerable communities in the high-risk coastal zone. The project also restored productivity to 72 ha of barren coastal land that can now be used for livelihood generation by poor, landless households and utilized community cash-for-work schemes to provide additional income to more than 12,300 people. This project received a prestigious international award in 2012 for its demonstration of abest-practice model that aims to achieve the “triple-win” objectives of povertyreduction, climate change adaptation and mitigation.

A key policy outcome in 2012, supported by the UN System, was the adoption of the National Sustainable Development Strategy 2011-2021 to upscale social equity and environmental integrity as strong policy drivers in the national development planning process. In this context, UN Agencies’ advocacy and partnerships resulted in integration of the poverty-environment-climate change nexus into this process. Annual National Development Programme Guidelines for 2012-2013 now promote climate-resilient public sector

Outcome 5.2: Vulnerable populations benefit from betternatural resource management and access to low-carbonenergy.

investment and offer the opportunity for greater compliance with environment-friendly, pro-poor and climate change-sensitive development. The guidelines will be supported by an appropriate indicator framework produced by the Planning Commission with UN support to guide systematic results monitoring as the country moves towardclimate-resilient development.

Progressive national buy-in and increased commitment for low-emission practices in 2012 is reflected by the Parliament’s passage of the Sustainable and Renewable Energy Development Authority Act 2012. With UN support, this Act has removed, among others, the institutional barriers for promotion and dissemination of renewable energy technologies in the country. Bangladesh’s commitment to low-emission development has been further reflected in a number of high-level policy documents, including the country report submitted in June 2012 to the UN Commission for Sustainable Development (UNCSD).

44

Access to renewable energy for rural households in targeted communities has increased from 4.6 to 7 percent in 2012.

In 2012, the UN provided crucial support to the Government in the lead-up to the Rio+20 Conference, with the national Rapid Assessment of the UN Secretary-General’s Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) initiative reflecting Bangladesh’s strong performance in 2012. When a high-level mission from SE4ALL visited the country early in the year, Agencies facilitatedhigh-level policy discussions and consultations with top officials from various Ministries, donor partners, UN Agencies, the private sector and civil society. With technical support from UN Agencies, the REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) Readiness Roadmap was finalized and approved by the Government to set the groundwork or combating carbon emissions through the forestry sector.

In part through these collaborations on REDD+, the UN System’s well-established relationship with the Ministry of Environment and Forests has been further built; as part of buildingGovernment capacity to manage new environmental challenges, UN Agencies undertook a needs assessment of MoEF in 2012 that has resulted in development of an institutional strengthening programme. The UN also has provided support for a team of Bangladesh Forest Department staff to receive training on remote sensing by the National Institute for Space Research in Brazil, and on greenhouse gas inventory for land use, land use change and forestry. To capitalize on further South-South training opportunities, the UN System is looking to join forces with the US Forest Service and USAID and follow examples set by Philippines, Indonesia and Cambodia.

Lastly, a growing green energy marked in Bangladesh is reflected by the fact that solar home systems across the country have continued to multiply at a rate higher than any otherdeveloping nation through collaborative efforts of the UN System, the Government and key development partners. Through this effort, access to renewable energy for rural households in targeted communities has increased from 4.6 to 7 percent in 2012. To support this growth, 1,500 solar technicians were trained, with most finding wage employment in the field.

UN-supported initiatives for mandatory standard labelling for energy-efficient products also have now been introduced nationally, and plans are in place to expand this system to enhance efficiency. UN Agencies also remained engaged in building public-private capacity for sustainable management of industrial waste and provided a range of technical support to the industrial sector, including tanneries, in the practice of sustainable cleaner production. The result of such efforts has been significant, including reduced water consumption in the sector for an overall water savings of 21 percent.

45

Living conditions and livelihoods of 3 million urban poor, particularly women, continued to strengthen in 2012 as a result of UN-supported social mobilization and improved access to socioeconomic benefits and enhanced living conditions and infrastructure such as water supply, improved sanitation, elevated footpaths and storm drainage (see also Pillar 7). The Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) 2010 showed that urban poverty

incidence had fallen to 21.3 percent, compared to 28.4 percent in 2005. Moreover, the Labour Force Survey 2010, published in 2012, demonstrated that urban women’sparticipation in the labour market had increased to 34.5 percent from 27.4 percent in 2005 (see also Pillar 2).

Outcome 6.1: At least 3 million urban poor have improved living conditions and livelihoods to realize their basic rights.

PILLAR SIX

PRO-POORURBANDEVELOPMENT

46

In a major empowerment initiative, UN Agencies assisted urban poor women and girls in particular to improve their livelihoods and living conditions through support toestablishment of Community Development Committees (CDCs) and town-level Federations to address specific community needs. Many CDCs have reached a sustainable level ofmaturity, with urban poor community leaders being included in municipal decision-making processes.

As a result, more than 8,000 women have gained leadership experience in a community governance entity; 28 women have run for the key office of ward councillor in municipal elections, and eight were elected. A total of 90 percent of elected community leaders are women. More than 160,000 poor and extreme-poor women CDC members activelyparticipated and received daily wage employment in implementing, managing andmonitoring the construction of slum infrastructure. More than 55,000 women, meanwhile, received conditional cash transfers of 5,000 Taka (about US$62) as a block grant to start their own businesses and some 36,000 women received 1,500 Taka per month as income during six-month apprenticeships. Over 44,000 girls from extreme-poor and poor households received educational grants to continue their education, significant in that few poor girls have traditionally been educated. In addition, more than 48,000 women improved urban and peri-urban food production, income and nutrition, while more than 49,500 women received training on savings and credit management.

Access to savings and credit schemes among urban poor households likewise increased, by 18 percent against a 2011 baseline, and reached more than 3,75,000 new households. Access to loan facilities for promoting small-scale enterprises soared by 42 percent among urban poor households and reached more than 67,800 households in 2012. As a result of greater transparency and increased confidence in savings and credit systems, savings increased by 39 percent in 2012, reaching US$5.1 million, and loans by 50 percent, totalling US$3.7 million.

With UN high-level technical assistance, endorsement of the National Skills Development Policy by the Government followed a wide consultative process. This set the ground to increase the access of disadvantaged groups, including the urban poor, to skills as well as to facilitate their inclusion as informal apprentices in the formal system, through recognition of prior learning. Overall, political will to address pro-poor urbanization has gained momentum, resulting in the finalization of an urban sector policy document with substantive inputs from the UN System, as well as formation of a high-level inter-Ministerial steering committee to institutionalize the Bangladesh Urban Forum (BUF). This UN-supported Forum has laid the foundation to bring all key relevant stakeholders together, including the urban poorthemselves, for the first time to discuss, advocate and address emerging urban challenges that directly impede on increased economic opportunities for the urban poor andvulnerable groups.

Similar advocacy and assistance through the UN System has fostered a process of concrete steps by Government authorities to address land tenure security status of low-income settlement dwellers. In 2012, the Government pledged that poor people will not be evicted in three towns, while the High Court delivered verdicts in favour of slum dwellers against the backdrop of a series of forced evictions in the largest slum settlement of Dhaka. A further positive development resulting from UN advocacy is the significant focus on the urban agenda in the Sixth Five Year Plan, which for the first time recognizes that “slums are adevelopment issue which needs to be faced.” Municipal authorities have allocated more resources for service delivery and other poverty reduction activities in poor communities.

While longer-term improvement is visible, results specific to 2012 remain limited as a result of the unavailability of updated data. A clearer picture of Outcome-level progress is likely only in 2014, when the next HIES takes place. In urban poor settlements targeted by the UN System, water-borne diseases also have fallen from 36 to 18 percent, and the proportion of people not washing their hands at appropriate times decreased from 56 to 11 percent. Poor urban households with rain-caused waterlogging fell from 87 to 11 percent as a result of drainage and footpath construction. Similarly, access to improved primary health care services increased for more than 850,000 urban poor through a network of 12 satellite clinics, 205 health clinics and 660 trained health volunteers supplied by partners of the UN System.

Meanwhile, around 2.5 million children in poverty-prone areas are directly benefiting from the distribution of micronutrient-fortified biscuits in 72 upazilas in 20 districts. Of which 88,000 primary school children are assisted in urban slum areas. The urban poor children live somewhat a different life than those in rural areas. Many of the slum children are indeed working children that affect their enrolment and attendance in the schools.

In a major empowerment initiative, UN Agencies assisted urban poor women and girls in particular to improve their livelihoods and living conditions through support to establishment of Community Development Committees (CDCs) and town-level Federations to address specific community needs.

47

The school feeding assistance has been contributing to reducing the dropout rate and increasing school attendance; the attendance rate in targeted urban primary schools has increased by 16 percentage points since 2009, and in 2012 reached an average of 73 percent. The school feeding programme contributes to the Government’s goal of achieving universal primary education by 2015 through improving access to basic education for school aged children. Many households in urban areas were forced to take their children out of school to domestic labour in order to supplement the family income. To assist in easing the pressure on ultra-poor urban families, the school feeding programme in Dhaka city has been much useful. Each student receives a 75 gm High Energy Biscuits (HEB) for every day of attendance that provides 338 kilocalories per day and 70% of the daily micronutrient requirement of vitamin A, zinc, folate, iron and others.

Anecdotal feedback from the parents, teachers and students has revealed that students are less frequently absent as a result of illness and are more attentive in class. Evidently, urban school feeding has had an extremely positive impact on the health and well-being ofultra-poor school children, providing them with an opportunity to receive a meaningful education and break away from the cycle of poverty.

On a study tour to Brazil, a high-level Government delegation learned about that country’s successful school feeding model, with a view to further integrate suitable elements and approaches in poor urban communities in Bangladesh. Support also was provided tohigh-level policy officials to participate in the work of the Committee on World FoodSecurity in Rome, thereby contributing to a common understanding and harmonized approach to addressing food and nutrition security.

PILLAR SEVEN

GENDER EQUALITYAND WOMEN’SADVANCEMENT

Outcome 7.1: Marginalized and disadvantaged women in selected districts and urban slums increase their participation in wage employment and other income-generating activities.

Gender is mainstreamed in the UNDAF 2012-2016, so that nearly all of the contributions to the Pillar 7 Outcomes are also contributing to other Pillars and are already mentioned there. Critically, UN joint programming and other interventions at the planning stage have not yet directly contributed to the Outcome. UN agencies have joined forces with the Ministry of Women and Children’s Affairs and Ministry of Home to develop a major project on women’s

economic empowerment focused on policy support, skills development, access toinformation, establishment of women’s help desks at police station/thanas and capacity building, including police forces in selected districts. The projects are scheduled for launch by mid-2013.

48

Union Information and Service Centres (UISC) and Town Information and Service Centre (TISC) across the country supported 40,421 women to register for jobs in Hong Kong, Singapore, Middle East and other countries – Pillar 1 Effective area-based support in the traditionally disadvantaged Chittagong Hill Tracts to livelihoods opportunities of poor women (Pillar 2) Strengthening of skills training programmes and enhancement of opportunities in overseas employment (Pillar 2) Specifically focusing on the extreme poor to achieve growth in incomes, assets and food security (30,000 women) (Pillar 2) Piloting cash transfers to enhance the food security of vulnerable women and their families (Pillar 4) Supporting short-term employment for extreme poor households to construct key community assets as part of participatory DRR (Pillar 5) Offering business start-up grants and short-term apprenticeships to build livelihoods for poor urban women (Pillar 6)

Key interventions already noted as contributing to economic-related, gender-specific Outcomes include:

49

50

Particular attention has been given to situation and needs analyses of women workers in selected informal sectors and development of training modules for women in non-traditional trades, including skills training on solar home systems. In addition, the Bangladesh Skill Development Policy and Plan and National Strategy for promoting Gender Equality in Technical and Vocational Education (TVET) in Bangladesh contributedsignificantly to women’s empowerment in Bangladesh. In other interventions, a UN-supported access to information project already has contributed to an increase in women’s economic activities through ensuring that female operators constitute half of the operators in each of more than 4,500 Union Information and Service Centres. In addition, marginalized groups such as HIV-infected and -affected women members of the Network of People Living with HIV have been empowered with entrepreneurial skills through training and small grants support. Finally, a field survey on economic and social barriers to women and girls’ access to educational facilities, led to development of an advocacy strategy aimed at increasing retention of girls and women in education.

A UN-supported Joint Programme to address VAW works toward reducing women’s social and institutional vulnerabilities, among others, through focusing on the policies and legal frameworks aimed at preventing VAW while protecting and supporting survivors. Some 23,000 participants from 388 unions in six districts received information on how to access security and legal, medical and rehabilitation support services through service providers. For example, women-friendly hospitals have provided legal aid assistance to more than 580 victims of violence, and more than 4,250 female survivors of violence received treatment and counseling through linkages with 12 legal aid agencies. Union Parishad standing committees on family conflict resolution and women’s and children’s welfare meet regularly, with most elected leaders capable of conducting local arbitration according to established guidelines.

In 2012, Bangladesh observed the UN Secretary-General’s UNiTE campaign to end VAW, which was for the first time coordinated among 11 UN Agencies, 11 Ministries and a large number of civil society organizations. This high-level joint advocacy effort had a wide geographical scope and reached diverse population groups, including from remote areas.

Government spearheaded the campaign, with 30 parliamentarians pledging “no” to all types of VAW.Awards were given for 9 well-documented good practices on ending VAW. The campaign received wide media coverage, and was involved not only a multitude of diversified actions and synergistic effects, but also distribution of information, education and communication materials backed by establishment of a Media Forum at divisional level to review the status of VAW and support the role of the media in combating VAW.

As a result, anecdotal evidence suggests that more Hindu women are becoming aware of the importance of marriage registration to minimize discrimination and that more dowry cases are being solved, while more family conflicts are being resolved through local arbitration and counseling (see also Pillar 1). The country also is beginning to witness community dialogues on understanding masculinity and how it relates to gender discrimination and VAW, which is expected to lead to changes that encourage the engagement of men and youth.

The secondary school curricula, teacher training curricula and textbooks have been fully reviewed, revised and upgraded using the gender lens by NCTB with support from UNESCO. The final curricula and 7 textbooks have subsequently been published and distributed among 7,138,688 boy students and 7,504,291 girl students throughout the country in early 2012. This is linked to the National Education Policy 2010, which focuses on gender violence addressed through curricula and textbooks.

Outcome 7.2: Social and institutional vulnerabilities ofwomen, including the marginalized and disadvantaged, are reduced.

51

Other key interventions contributing to this Outcome but already mentioned under other UNDAF Pillars include:

The review of the ILO code of practice, legal and policy framework in Bangladesh has been completed. Recommendations from review served as a guiding document for policy; plan formulation and revision of the Labor Act 2006. Sensitization and trainings were also conducted for various stakeholders, including MoLE, trade unions, private sector employer federation (Bangladesh Employer Federation – BEF, etc.). As a result, the Labor Act 2006 is currently being revised (not yet finalized/approved) to highlight the issue of violence at the work place (including VAW); the BEF drafted a gender equality policy (including addressing VAW) and trade union placed VAW prevention as its own agenda. HR policy was reviewed as well.

In terms of South-South cooperation, a study visit to several locations in India was arranged for Government officials and others to enhance the exchange of knowledge andexperiences on brothel- and street-based interventions and programmes for sex workers. In other such cooperation, Bangladesh shared national actions to address empowerment of the girl child, with a special focus on actions against child marriage, with participants from all other South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries at a regional meeting in Kathmandu, Nepal, to mark the first International Day of the Girl Child.

structures that provide a key forum for interacting with municipalities and managing community assets (Pillar 6)

52

Iv. PROGRESS ON UNITED NATIONS REFORMUnder the UNDAF, the UN System has volunteered to work with a joint Action Plan that replaced Country Programme Action Plans (CPAPs) of four Executive Committee Agencies and integrated programmes of specialized and non-resident Agencies. This effort intends to reduce transaction costsfor the Government arising from coordinating with Agencies on four different frameworks. In addition, through the Action Plan the UN System hascommitted to support the Government in simplifying the project approval process, which had been delaying fund disbursement and, ultimately, impacts of project outcomes.

Through the Action Plan, the UN System has strategized in maximizing results impact by

adopting the geographic targeting mechanism. This strategy defined the 20 poorest and most vulnerable districts (out of 64), where Agencies primarily focus.

As noted above, the UN System plays a collective and substantive role in the national forum for development dialogue, the Local Consultative Group (LCG). Out of 18 Working Groups under the LCG, the UN Agencies co-lead seven programmatically significant and strategic Working Groups (Agriculture, Food Security and Rural Development, Governance, Disaster and Emergency Response, Urban, Poverty, Gender and Chittagong Hill Tracts). These groups are the nodal fora for policy discussions among Government and other development actors.

53

A further key development in Bangladesh with regard to UN Reform is the implementation of the humanitarian architecture reform (see also Pillar 5), with full endorsement of the Government. A second key reform that credits UN System coherence is development of humanitarian needs assessment tools and a coordinated approach to needs assessment, as also noted above.

In several of the Pillar areas, meanwhile, thematic area meetings are evolving from an opportunity to update on progress among Agencies to a greater emphasis on policy and discussion of major issues that affect the entire scope of the work of the UN System in Bangladesh.

For example, under the leadership of the Resident Coordinator due to the crosscutting nature of governance and human rights, Pillar 1 has encouraged greater contributions and synergies between Agencies. In addition, greater emphasis has been given to monitoring of progress toward Outcomes and targets for the Pillar. Following a series of consultations, a set of clear indicators and annual targets has been developed; in each quarter, these have been monitored by the Pillar secretariat, which has encouraged member Agencies toestablish improved and realistic results and indicator tools. The stakeholder submission for the UPR in 2012 also benefited from members’ inputs, which demonstrated increased coordination. Similar coordinated work was developed in the areas of parliamentary affairs, human rights, and law and justice, driven by the nature of information shared in the Pillar meetings.

Like Pillar 1, the Pillar 2 Working Group is transitioning toward a genuine thematic forum for programme development and policy dialogue. This will be a feature of its 2013 activities, alongside harmonizing M&E reporting with the LCG Poverty Working Group. A series of meetings have been dedicated to the facilitation of joint programming activities, specifically on social protection policymaking, employment and skills training, and pro-poor trade and FDI. The Pillar is active within the UNDAF M&E network and has successfully finalized its reporting framework and all required data. As noted, this will be further developed with the Government’s Development Results Framework (DRF), which is the primary nationalreporting mechanism, through the Poverty LCT.

Given the multisectoral nature of the Outcomes pursued under Pillar 3, on social services for human development, inter-Agency coordination and cooperation still needs to be further strengthened among all Agencies and Ministries contributing to Pillar results. Meanwhile, the UN System is helping to take appropriate food security and nutrition actions to scale in the same population through its Joint Programme specifically targeting families withundernourished children in 11 unions in three upazilas, under Pillar 4. On the basis of the

success demonstrated by the Joint Programme, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in late 2012 approved funding for another joint initiative on integrated agriculture- and health-based interventions for improved food and nutrition security in selected districts of the south, thereby setting the stage for scaling up effective and sustainable interventions.

54

As part of the Renewed Efforts Against Child Hunger and Undernutrition Initiative (REACH), the UN Agencies have jointly committed to work together to support the Government to strengthen nutrition coordination mechanisms at national and district levels and to scale up nutrition actions in the priority district of Satkhira. UN partners both individually and through UN REACH are supporting the SUN initiative in Bangladesh to promote nutrition advocacy and to support the scale up of nutrition interventions focusing on the first 1000 days of life. Likewise, as a result of the increasing recognition of the need for adequateemergency preparedness and coordination across the country, two related humanitarian clusters were formed, the Food Security Cluster and the Nutrition Cluster to strengthen the collective capacity of humanitarian actors whilst providing support to the Government and the Local Consultative Group Working Group on Disaster and Emergency Response (LCG

DER) on response efforts during times of both slow and sudden onset emergencies. The FSC and Nutrition Clusters work closely with the Nutrition Cluster among others, theGovernment, the Local Consultative Group Working Group on Disaster and Emergency Response (LCG DER) and participate in meetings of the Humanitarian Coordination Task Team (HCTT) on all emergency coordination related activities/issues as well as maintain constant liaison and exchange of information with its government counterparts (including the Local Consultative Group on Agriculture, Food Security and Rural Development and the Local Consultative Group on Health, respectively).

In 2012, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) project housed within the FPMU, MoF and communicated through the FSC, is support from the UN to map and carry out food security and nutrition analysis in the acute phase of food insecurity. The firstanalysis covers the eight districts of the coastal zone of Bangladesh considering on agro ecological, socioeconomic and disaster vulnerabilities relating to food security. The areas facing natural disasters were found to depict the highest levels of acute food insecurity due to a combination of poor food availability, access and / or utilization that were persistent in these districts.

Overall, increased coordination across sectors, particularly under Pillar 5, has been enhanced through the new humanitarian coordination architecture under the LCG for Disaster and Emergency Response. This new architecture represents an important platform for engaging with sector-specific Clusters to coordinate joint needs assessments and deliver relief in times of crisis. Other programmes and projects such as the Integrated Water Management Programme 2012-2013 and the Urban Disaster Risk Reduction project have strengthened coordination between or within Agencies. The Pillar has finalized its M&E framework for use in tracking and reporting results.

Participating Agencies in Pillar 6, which have met regularly, also have used this Pillar as a forum for policy dialogue, coordinated programme management, and new programme development on urban poverty reduction. In 2012, the Pillar Agencies targeted the urban extreme poor in a coordinated approach through their development support to community empowerment, access to education, water and sanitation, school feeding, safe housing and income generation. Pillar members also have conceptualized a joint Integrated Urban Poverty Reduction Programme. The Pillar will emphasize implementation of results-based M&E in 2013, as well as facilitation of the Urban Development LCG, and contributions to the Government’s DRF monitoring and reporting.

55

Overall, UNDAF targets and indicators across Pillars remain relevant and consistent. However, some still may need to be revised, for example, to accommodate new base assumptions or external conditions. In the event of a serious deterioration of the national political climate, a mid-term review of all targets for 2013 may be beneficial. In terms of overall M&E reporting, a comprehensive M&E framework for the UNDAF was developed using DevInfo technology. Annual tracking of Outcome-level indicators is not possible because, in most cases, such data are not available, nor are district-level data by age, sex and economic status.

Major lessons learned also have arisen from those areas adopting a joint programming approach, including, for example, with regard to the social protection arena. Continuing challenges in this area include needs for design of effective delivery modalities; more flexibility among participating Agencies to enhance coordination; stronger and moretransparent donor liaising; and more effective management of both expectations and

relationships. However, many further opportunities for joint programming also remain for all Pillars. Meanwhile, a constraint common to all Pillars is found in the lengthy Government project approval procedure, which often delays project implementation. This requires further special attention and support.

Under Pillar 1, it has been recommended that there be a review of the target set for children in the media to reflect an appropriate level of monitoring resources and realistic indicators. Outcome 1.1 will need to include an output to better address progress in HIV-related interventions at public policy and public institution levels to ensure inclusiveness of approaches. Increased efforts to coordinate results reporting in the few cases whereprogress toward targets has not already been reported will be encouraged. An opportunity particularly exists to develop greater coordination, including with external partners ifnecessary, in the generation of baselines and midterm surveys to collect information and data that are not presently exploited.

V. LESSONS LEARNED AND WAY FORWARD

56

With regard to Pillar 2, measurement of output indicators has been problematic andincomplete, a result of both project timing and intermittent data sources. Further major changes may be merited following the anticipated full publication of the latest HIES 2010 and poverty maps. It may be necessary to revisit some output-level activities, notably with respect to common pool resources, which may not be jointly delivered with Pillar 4.

Key challenges for realizing the rights of children, particularly vulnerable children, remain and are related to conceptual underpinnings, legal and institutional settings, andequity-based resource allocations. Sustained impact depends on a strong rights-based child protection system, bolstered by an effective legal and policy framework, capacitydevelopment, a minimum package of services, a protective environment, transformation of institutions, and enhanced M&E for results.

Inadequate staffing of health facilities and frequent transfers of Government and staff have made coordination and communication difficult, reducing effectiveness under both Pillars 3 and 4. In addition to human resource constraints, limited decentralized financial management authority, coupled with lengthy approval processes for local-level plans at national level, continue to hinder the efficient application of local-level plans for health services in particular and will need to be addressed. Strengthening of coordination mechanisms also remains urgent to ensure a unified response to needs. A gradual increase in allocation of pool funds for local-level planning will facilitate expansion and sustainability of this effective strategy for addressing the MDGs.

An important lesson learned under Pillar 3 has been to leverage additional support fromdevelopment partners to cover four unreached UNDAF districts with comprehensive MNCH interventions from these partners, given that comprehensive efforts by UN Agencies there are not yet under way. Dialogue has been initiated to this effect. Pillar 3 also plans toparticularly scale up efforts to increase awareness of the serious issue of arsenic contamination affecting the water quality of some 22 million people, including through clear labelling of affected sources and messaging on water safety plans.

With regard to education, continuing challenges that constrain the effectiveness of UN support in Bangladesh include a need for strengthened overall investments in the sector in general and in adult literacy in particular. Large numbers of vacancies exist in the education system, particularly at the decentralized levels, and will need to be addressed. Moreover, the effectiveness of education stipend programmes remains to be established. Coordination mechanisms for education in emergencies require development, and Disaster RiskReduction strategies continue to be inadequately integrated into education programmes.

57

Under Pillar 4, it is recommended to monitor and report on effective coverage of key nutrition interventions that are proven to contribute to reduction of undernutrition, with prevalence data (stunting, anaemia status) used for baseline and end-line comparisons since comparable surveys are not conducted annually. Efforts of the FSC and Nutrition Clusters will require stronger coordination to avoid duplication. Efforts are on going in developing a common narrative on nutrition and to further support the strengthening of multi-sectoral platforms and mechanisms within the Government’s institutional arrangements.

The significant attention by the Government to the SE4ALL initiative of the UN Secretary-General affords an opportunity for Pillar 5 Agencies to join together and support preparation and implementation of a national action plan to promote access to energy by the poor. Similarly, an opportunity exists for Pillar Agencies to support the development of a disaster vulnerability index that could assist the UN System to effective measure vulnerability in Bangladesh; in turn, the Pillar M&E framework could be revisited based on the newvulnerability index as well as other emerging assumptions and external conditions. Joint programming under this Pillar will remain a priority, particularly in the areas of humanitarian coordination, implementation of the REDD+ Readiness Roadmap, industrial pollution management, green jobs and sustainable energy, and DRR. Significant efforts will be made to turn the Pillar into an advocacy forum and engage members to address key policypriorities in climate change, environment and disaster management.

An integrated approach toward urban poverty reduction, along with a strong partnership

between relevant Government counterparts and the UN System, has been found effective to achieve the expected Outcome target of 3 million urban poor people experiencing better lives. The Pillar’s effort to translate the well-defined concept of an Integrated Urban Poverty Programme into action presents a significant opportunity to demonstrate real impact from such a partnership.

The Pillar 6 M&E framework requires some adjustment to make Pillar-level results monitoring more efficient and credible. The adjustment will need to be made not only on the basis of changes in assumptions and challenges, but also Agencies’ feedback and UNDAF geographical targeting. Further the consumption-based measure of the official urban poverty rate does not reflect the multidimensional aspects of deprivation that are more appropriate in the urban context. Thus, the Pillar requires a more accurate measurement of poverty to underpin its Outcome-level process. Specifically, revision of two indicators, Outcome 6.1 and Output 6.1.2, is proposed.

Pillar 7 found that the Joint Programme and joint campaign against VAW has made efficient use of available resources, thereby increasing its impact. Concurrently, for efficient programme management, the Pillar noted that joint programmes should preferably, not include more than 3-5 partners. The need for enhanced synergies within the Pillar and with other Pillar interventions was another important lesson learned. Finally, some Pillar 7 indicators need to revised and adjusted in the results framework, based on programme needs.

In the first year of UNDAF 2012-2016 implementation, the UNDAF Pillars and the UNDAF M&E Group checked viability of all indicators, including data source, data source reliability, disaggregation and frequency. As a result, several indicators were revised by UNDAF Pillars together with the UNDAF M&E Group during the Annual Review process (red colored revised/replaced).

The reasons for the 2012 revision of indicators are described under each of the revised indicators in the table below. The reasons for indicator revisions vary. For example, four composite indicators were not feasible to monitor and thereforewere split to ensure adequate monitoring of the respective output/outcome; some indicators required simple rephrasing to align with existing national framework and thereby allow for use of the same data sources; six indicators with missing baselines (some at aggregated and some atdisaggregated level) were reviewed and alternate indicators were suggested.

With the revision, the total number of UNDAF indicators is now 117.
