The research draws on peoples’ understanding of their lived conditions and the materials presented below were worked up with different groups in the study communities through participatory exercises that opened up discussions around work, income, and food. The study highlights that a considerable number of rural families face food deprivation in the lean season and that poverty is underpinned by high incidence of landlessness and marginal landholdings insufficient to meet families’ food needs, low casual daily wage rates and high rates of under-employment, local economic relations that perpetuate poverty, and lack of critical services. In this context, the MCG Program can provide additional work days to families that are food insecure, whilst maintaining / repairing labor-intensive productive infrastructure.

The study explores the socio-economic conditions of fishermen in Hakaluki haor of Moulvibazar district. The main information was used in this regard to measure the poverty incidence such as family size, annual income, expenditure of food and non-food items, education level, etc. The study also estimates the poverty level by using CBN method. About 42 and 68% haor fishermen were below the lower and upper poverty lines respectively. The study suggests that the Government should take haor based policy to reduce poverty level of fishermen.
