The Social Development Foundation (SDF) started implementing the Social Investment Program Project (SIPP) in Gaibandha and Jamalpur in 2003, as the Human Development Report 2000 identified the two districts as the country’s most impoverished areas. About 950 villages have been brought under the SIPP in its different phases over time. Now, SDF is also implementing two projects, Notun Jibon Cyclone Recovery Program and Flood Restoration and Recovery Assistance Program in different areas. The project areas are as follows:

1. Project Area (SIPP Consolidation Phase)

The SIPP consolidation phase are divided into two phases:

a) Consolidation Phase  (I, II and III )

2. Project Areas (Cyclone Recovery Program)

The Post Sidr Livelihood Restoration Program will focus on the worst affected districts (including Patuakhali, Barguna, Bagerhat and Pirojpur), covering about 10 to 11 of the most affected upazilas, about 49 - 53 Unions and 550 villages.  About 150,000 affected families will directly benefit from the employment and livelihood support activities. However, the infrastructure rehabilitation and local-level institutional development will indirectly benefit approximately 1.0 million people.

Key Focus of Notun Jibon program :

  • Empowering communities- especially women and vulnerable families- and building their capacity and institutions to lead in identifying, planning, and implementing investments; managing funds; and monitoring compliance with their rules;

  • Prioritizing support to poor and vulnerable families unable to regain their livelihoods without targeted interventions;

  • Mainstreaming disaster risk reduction measures as part of local development plans, employing a holistic approach to reducing risk to lives and livelihoods;

  • Focusing on immediate employment needs at first, but within a longer-term vision of sustainable livelihoods;

  • Building and strengthening systems at the local level that incorporate participation, inclusion, self-help, transparency, and accountability; and

  • Linking with other programs funded or managed by IDA,GOB, other donors, NGOs, MFIs and the private sector, to ensure synergy and avoid duplication.

4. Project Areas [Nuton Jibon Project (SIPP-II)]

The proposed project would cover 1,500 villages, benefitting about 300,000 target households, with about 3 million populations, directly and indirectly. The project would also further strengthen the on-going village organizations and community groups being supported under the current program; and would help them form networks of federations and producer groups (so-called second generation institutions). In total, Phase 1 (including three additional financings) and the proposed project will benefit approximately 800,000 target households, and about 6 million people directly and indirectly. It is assumed that each village has a size of 350 households. The number of households directly benefiting will be 200 households called the Target households.
