Socio-economic baseline survey of Pagnar and Sanua-Dakuar haors

Problem Census (PCs) and Planning Workshops (PWs) are used to examine the diverse contrasting perspectives of beneficiary groups in regard to their socio-economic and political conditions. On the basis of information generated from these activities, stakeholders become aware of non-uniform impacts of resource use patterns, livelihood strategies and economic activities on the local environment, sustainable resources management schemes and environmental conservation options available to them. Priorities are determined and intervention programmes are designed accordingly.
The participatory land-use survey report is a major baseline activity of the Community Base Haor Resource Management Project. The survey was done in Pagnar and Sanuar-Dakuar haors. The objectives of this report are to promote local community participation in development projects, and collection and recording of topographical, ecological, economic, social and demographic information about the target areas, on the basis of which, analysis of impacts of the livelihood strategies and the economic activities on local resources has been carried out.
Overall objectives of the report as outlined in the Program Support Document (PSD) are to improve environmental quality of the country coupled with sustainable development, poverty alleviation and capacity building for better environmental management. This Project implementation Plan (PIP) was developed using the Logical framework Analyses (LFA) which sets out the benchmarks and indicators against which the outputs can be measured.
