Bangladesh Is On The Right Track

The United Nation’s goal for 2030 is to strive towards eliminating as much poverty as possible. Even though as the years go on poverty is slowly decreasing, it is not as much as hoped. “More than 800 million people are being affected by poverty and amazingly living off an average of only $1.25 per day” (United Nations, para. 1).

SDGs Goal Number 1 is “End poverty in all it forms everywhere.” Although the number of poverty is decreasing by more than half in the reign of MDGs, there are still 1.2 billion people living in poverty. More than 800 people still living on less than $1.25 per day. The biggest percentage of poverty is in countries in the South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa by 80% of global total in extreme poverty. Rapid economic growth countries (example: India and China) have made many people out of poverty but the progress also didn’t reach the maximum.

To be more impact full to this project the authority must involve more privet citizen and Privet Company’s to make sure the success of MDG and should not just leave it to the government only.

overty issue comes first since it is the foremost global problem to be solved. MDG Goal 1, Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger, aimed at reducing the number of people suffering from absolute poverty and hunger by 50%. MDG 1 is split into two SDGs. SDG 1 is to end poverty in all its forms everywhere and SDG 2 is to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. SDGs 1 and 2 aim to reduce poor population by 50% in each country and they emphasize food supply for the socially disadvantaged. They attempt not only to achieve indexes, but also to nurture production and survival ability by providing policy tools. MDG 1 did not differentiate poverty and hunger. Poverty and hunger are closely related, but

Overpopulated, economically distressed, common ground for natural disasters, and an Islamic nation: Bangladesh. Misconceptions and pre-conceived notions are a human fault in the understanding of this nation-state. Although this country has its difficulties, the world does not fully understand the extent and the lack of its abilities and the changes that Bangladesh is making. Even though Bangladesh is densely populated it is taking steps to make a positive change, economically they are at a disadvantage but still growing, natural disasters can be devastating yet they find a way to use what is given to them, and a strong religion brings people together.

Bangladesh is a small nation compared to other countries such as the USA. Bangladesh is located within Southern Asia, bordering with India and Burma. Bangladesh has a total area of 148,460 Square Kilometers. The Climate is quite hot due to the proximity to the equator. There are some natural resources such as Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Arable Land, Timber and Coal. The main Environmental Issues in Bangladesh are a lack of land forcing citizens to live in areas that flood a lot, Many Waterborne diseases, Overpopulation, Soil degradation and Deforestation.

Bangladesh is a country that has been exploited by many super powers in the past. 1st it was the British and then stated the Pakistani regime. Continuously oppressed and exploited by these powers the resources of this country were already half exhausted. When Bangladesh emerged on 1971, the country started a new journey towards self sufficiency with whatever left over resources she had. And with those Bangladesh has maintained her pride among the developing countries for more than 40 years.

Bangladesh is extremely susceptible to hazards such as earthquakes and cyclones and repeatedly suffers from two types of flooding, namely river flooding, and coastal flooding from storm surges in the Bay of Bengal. The majority of the country’s 162 million population live on the flood plains of the Rivers Ganges and Brahmaputra. The floods actually help the farmers by depositing fertile silt and this enables them to grow rice, sugar, jute and other crops. However, when the floods are too intense, the inundation destroys lives, crops and animals. Bangladesh is predominantly an agricultural country together with livestock, poultry, fisheries and forestry and where lives and livelihood depend on this for food security and employment. Being a developing

Bangladesh as a developing country also trying to contribute to reduce the imbalance of food security. But because of so many lacking, Bangladesh cannot move forward. Though they have taken so many initiatives for food security recently, but those are not sufficient comparatively to our growing population.

Poverty is one of the main problems in underdeveloped countries. Every year, a large number of people from these countries die mainly due to poverty because of the lack of supplies, “An estimated 41.5 percent of the population is living under the national poverty line in 2005 (UNDP, 2006, 2). This figure is not only extremely high in absolute terms but represents an increase in poverty of more than 2 percentage points in just three

Bangladesh, officially known as the ‘People's Republic of Bangladesh’ worldwide, is a country in South Asia. It shares land borders with India and Myanmar. Bangladesh is the world's eighth most populous country with a population of 163 million (as of the year 2016) in a total area of 147, 570 square kilometers. Dhaka has been the capital city of Bangladesh since the country achieved independence in the year 1971. Bangladesh has a market-based mixed economy, is one of the Next Eleven emerging markets. Its per-capita income was US$ 1,190 in the year 2014, with a GDP of $209 billion (bdnews24.com, 21 May 2014). Bangladesh has the third-largest South Asian economy (after India and Pakistan) and the second-highest foreign-exchange reserves (after India). The Bangladeshi diaspora contributed $15.31 billion in remittances in the year 2015 (The Daily Star, 3 July 2015).

The impact of gender inequality in Bangladesh and Nepal is often influenced by the lack of good governance in impoverished countries such as these. Without good governance, it is likely that only a fraction of that aid will go towards rebuilding the lives of survivors from a natural disaster. Natural disasters can also be a strong indicator as to how much relief a country receives from donor countries in order to eradicate hunger and poverty. Such tragic events can also cause distress to women and

Bangladesh is a land of rivers. The economic condition of Bangladesh is mostly connected with her rivers. The rivers of Bangladesh are undoubtedly wide. But they shrink in size for insufficiency of wither in dry seasons. With the heavy rainfall in the rainy season they become full to the brim and look terrible. The Padma, the meghna, the jamuna and the karnaphuli are the principal rivers of Bangladesh. Besides there's, there are other small rivers of no less importance. All three rivers flowing through different districts of Bangladesh fall into the Bay of Bengal. In the rainy season these rivers swell to the brim and sometimes overflow their banks and inundate the adjoining fields. They then look like the vast sheet of water all around. Bangladesh is an agricultural country. Her river makes her soil fertile by depositions the silt carried by them of the land. Paddy and jute are the main crops of Bangladesh. Irrigation is essential for the bumper growth of these crops. So the water of these rivers is used for the purpose of irrigation by means of power-pumps or by digging canals. It is, therefore, evident that the economic condition of the cultivators largely depends on rivers. Many kinds of fish are around in the rivers of Bangladesh. These rivers are an inexhaustible source of supply of fish to her people. The fisherman of Bangladesh earns their livelihood by fishing in these rivers. They are entirely dependent

Bangladesh is a small South Asian country that boarders the Bay of Bengal and India. Bangladesh is a developing nation that has experienced steady economic growth over a sustained period of time. However, economic growth alone does not make a nation fully developed. Using W.W. Rostow’s 5 stages of development1, the economy of Bangladesh will be analyzed and compared to the economy of the United States of America (USA). The development of Bangladesh will be determined using relevant economic and social data found in the CIA World Fact Book and other sources.

Dhaka is the capital city of Bangladesh located in Southern Asia, next to the Bay of Bengal.
