Country Director’s Message
Concern aims to support people living in extreme poverty and vulnerability through its humanitarian response and long term development programmes focusing on livelihood, health, nutrition and education, while addressing inequality, disaster risk and impact of climate change as cross-cutting themes. We have introduced digital data-gathering and analysis techniques for monitoring and evaluating our work, using which we measure the key outcome indicators in all our programmes annually.
Over the last 3 years, we have continued our steady progress towards achieving our organisational objectives, and maintained a high level of achievement in Bangladesh. These achievements in programmatic results, including our success in helping people graduate out of extreme poverty, have been captured in this book.
None of these achievements would have been possible without the continuous support of the people we work for, the Government of Bangladesh, the partner organisations, and the institutional and individual donors. I take this opportunity to thank you all, and look forward to our future collaborations to end extreme poverty in Bangladesh.
It is my great pleasure to present to you the programmatic achievements of Concern Worldwide, Bangladesh from 2012 to 2014.
About Concern Worldwide
1
Our mission
Our visionTo work towards a world where no-one lives in poverty, fear or oppression; where all have access to a decent standard of living and the opportunities and choices essential to a long, healthy and creative life; a world where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
Concern Worldwide is a non-governmental, international, humanitarian organization dedicated to the reduction of suffering, and working towards the ultimate elimination of extreme poverty in the world’s poorest countries.
To help people living in extreme poverty achieve major improvements in their lives which last and spread without ongoing support from Concern Worldwide. To achieve this mission, we engage in long term development work, respond to emergency situations, and seek to address the root causes of poverty through education and advocacy.

Concern Worldwide in BangladeshFounded in 1968, Concern Worldwide was formally established inBangladesh in 1972. Over the last 43 years in the country, we have been working relentlessly to alleviate extreme poverty by focusing on these 3 dimensions - i) the lack of and/or low return to assets, ii) inequalities, and iii) risks and vulnerabilities.
Using a programmatic approach to best tackle the emerging poverty pockets, we have structured our work into different contexts - Urban, Char, Haor and Coastal programmes, along with our Emergency response programmes. We work through direct partnerships with 35 implementing organizations, including various consortia, coalitions and humanitarian clusters.
All our programmes are designed with interventions at 3 levels: micro – at the community and union levels; meso- at the sub-district and district levels; and macro- at the national level. Working at these 3 levels, we aim to reduce extreme poverty by addressing hunger, maternal and child health, primary education, inequality, and disaster risk reduction in Bangladesh.

Our Guiding Objectives
We want to enable more than 6,00,000 men, women, and children currently targeted by our programmes to graduate out of extreme poverty permanently, or to make signi�icant improvements which will allow them to move out of extreme poverty.
This will be de�ined in 2 ways- through our context-speci�ic poverty analyses, and also the national poverty lines. This overall objective is linked to the overarching goal of the Government of Bangladesh to reduce poverty from 31.5% in 2010 to 13.5% by 2021 set in the Perspective Plan of Bangladesh 2010-2021.
Freedom from hunger through increasedincomes & assets.
Access to maternal & childhealth care services.
Access to education for all children ofprimary school age.
Respect & equal treatment for extreme poor or socially excluded people.
Protection from loss of life, injury, or asset due to natural disasters or climate change.
OurCountry
Strategic Plan2011-15
states 5 specificobjectives:
Our ultimate goal is not a short-term escape from extreme poverty; rather, we want our programme participants to sustain themselves even after our programmes are over.

Our innovative DDG process uses a cloud-based platform developed by PSI Mobile, which allows us to gather data faster and more ef�iciently than paper-based methods. It also yields data that is more reliable and of a higher quality. With DDG, we are able to manage and analyse data quickly and cost-effectively. This helps us monitor our performance accurately, and make effective decisions accordingly.
Since 2013, we have been using Digital Data Gathering (DDG) – a custom-built mobile application for real-time data collection, to conduct our Annual Outcome Monitoring and Graduation Survey for all programmes in 2013 and 2014.
