Includes bibliographical references.
The Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna deltas has newly emerged 'char' islands, which are very vulnerable, socially, institutionally and environmentally. This book explains how the governments of Bangladesh and the Netherlands cooperated on a land-based rural development project to give settlers security and purpose. The 13 chapters in this book are based on experience gathered from implementing the Char Development and Settlement Project undertaken since 1994.
The Coastal Chars of Bangladesh -- The Birth of CDSP-IV -- Managing Char Development and Settlement: A Complex Process -- Involving the Communities and Civil Society -- Role of Women in Development -- Developing the Infrastructure -- The Land Settlement Process -- The Power of Agriculture -- Money Matters: Savings and Loans -- Environmental Improvement with Trees -- Income and Quality of Life -- Our Pride -- When the Project Leaves.
