In 2005-6 CCDB went through a rigorous change management process aiming to design an integrated development program that can be more cost effective as well as efficient to ensure faster economic and social development for the grassroots people in a sustainable manner. Subsequently, in 2007, Comprehensive Poverty Reduction Program (CPRP) was designed based on sustainable livelihood approach, and combined service delivery and right based development approaches to address poverty from different directions. Major thematic areas of this program were strengthening people’s organization, livelihood and food security, health & WATSAN, education & culture, societal peace, local level advocacy and gender justice. In the current phase of CPRP started in July 2015, “pro poor market development” has been added to ensure fair price for the products of the poor producers through involving them in the value chain mechanism. CPRP has been operating through 10 area offices covering 31 sub-districts in Bangladesh. DOWNLOAD [ PDF ]
