Annual Report 2018 II

Roushan AkhtarChairmanSUS Executive Committee

I have the pleasure to present our Annual Report 2018 to the development partners, government officials and all well-wishers who stayed with us during the journey.

SUS is moving forward through an integrated, participatory and rights-based approach by accelerating and widening its endeavors. The development partners provided their hands of cooperation for achieving goal and objectives of respec-tive programs. At the same time, SUS tried to keep up donors’ confidence with its efficiency and sincerity. Through learning by doing process, SUS has devel-oped its capacity to plan and implement effective development programs with the participation of people. SUS has shared its experiences, learning, ideas and views with relevant stakeholders and develop-ment partners as well. SUS has strength-ened up relationship with government as well as like-minded institutions through networking and advocacy.

SUS has brought more dimensions in its programs. People are now using different government opportunities. SUS has given more priority to the ultra-poor, ethnic minorities, pregnant mothers, children, adolescents and disables. More victims are coming to SUS for getting legal supports.

Due to reducing funding trends in Bangla-desh, SUS like others has to cut down its manpower as well as coverage in 2018.

SUS has faced many challenges in continuing its development efforts. During 2018, a new project has been incorporated with our integrated package program and three projects have been phased out as well. During the period, we have reviewed strategic plan of 2016-2020 and have strived to provide our highest possible services to the distressed people of our working area. We have prepared and updated different manuals, guidelines and policies.

I express my thanks and gratitude to our development partners, the government of Bangladesh along with relevant depart-ments, local administration, different professionals as well as program partici-pants for their cooperation, coordination and contribution.

Thanks are rightly due for the members of SUS general committee and executive committee for their timely advices and directions. Finally, I offer my heartfelt thanks to the colleagues who worked hard to make the initiatives worthy and mean-ingful.

We look forward to work and move together with a view to establish a society with dignity and justice.

Sabalamby Unnayan Samity (SUS) was officially established in 1986 as a non-profit development organization by the pioneer role of Begum Rokeya which is located in Netrakona, north-eastern part of Bangladesh.

During the period, organization has faced few chal-lenges. This year was the election year of Bangla-desh. For this reason, social and political instability prevailed in the country. On the other hand, religious propaganda regarding women empower-ment created a kind of problem.

Practicing of different policies of the organization is supporting towards expected changes. Staffs have been made aware on the Theory of Change (Awareness, Agency, Action and Representation, Recognition and Redistribution) and they are practic-ing in their respective field.

At the end of 2018, review of Strate-gic Plan (2016-2020) from 2016-2018 has been carried out through 05-members Strategic Plan Imple-mentation Committee (SPIC) in consultation and participation with SUS Management Team especially Executive Director by considering availability of fund, views of the participants, current socio-economic and political context of the country and also the context of field areas as well as addressing Sustainable

Development Goals (SDG). SUS has implemented socio-economical and cultural activities among 2.2 million poor and deprived people (Directly and indirectly) of 23 upazila under Netrakona, Sunamgonj, Mymensingh and Jamalpur districts thourgh integrated, participatory and rights based approach with a view to achieve the dream “People live in a society with dignity and justice” by eradicating poverty and injustice.

SUS always tries to step forward to address the current changes and chal-lenges to develop its quality of work and achieve the desired goal. During the period, 258 staffs (Male: 179, Female: 79) have worked as full-time basis and 293 staffs (Male: 12, Female: 281) as part-time basis.
