Under
its Social Investment Program Project
(SIPP), the Social Development Foundation is implementing a
program, ‘Post-Sidr and Livelihood Restoration Program’,
aiming to help restore the assets and livelihoods of the people
affected by devastating Cyclone
Sidr in 2007. To implement the project, the government has
signed a credit agreement worth US$ 50 million with the World
Bank’s International Development Association (IDA).
The project has initially targeted 150,000 households of 589
villages under 53
unions in 10 upazilas of the four districts -- Patuakhali,
Barguna, Pirojpur and Bagerhat. Under this project, SDF has
started pilot program mapping 16,000 households in four unions
under four upazilas -- Golachipa (Patuakhali), Amtali (Barguna),
Mothbaria (Pirojpur) and Morelganj (Bagerhat).
