PROGRAM
Program
Programs are such a powerful package that can bring immediate positive impacts on the lives of people. These programs are designed to address existing problems at individual, community and institution levels. Today we see a better Bangladesh where there have been improvements in poverty reduction, school enrolment, maternal & child mortality reduction, family planning service, vaccination coverage, gender equality, women empowerment and employment across Bangladesh. This has become possible because our government and non-government organizations (NGOs) have implemented different programs and interventions in remote and hard-to-reach areas. The country still has a long way to go! It requires more programs and interventions to be implemented for comprehensive and sustainable development. CDA will take part in this journey
