Farooq-e-Azam Advises: Poverty-Stricken Population Faces Almost 50% Unemployment Rate
The alarming rate of unemployment among the disadvantaged population in some areas has escalated to an estimated 50%. This significant increase has highlighted problems related to adequate nutrition for women and children, according to Disaster Management and Relief Adviser, Farooq-e-Azam. This is following data gathered from rural communities and a tour of flood-impacted regions in the southeast. Farooq shared his findings at a post-flood recovery and restoration discussion organized at the BRAC Centre in Mohakhali. Dr Hossain Zillur Rahman, the BRAC Chairperson, chaired the event.
The current high unemployment rate is creating significant hindrances to the enhancement of nutrition for women and children, which should be treated as a disaster. This crisis worsens after natural disasters, Farooq-e-Azam stated as the chief guest. He further mentioned, We are in the process of formulating a project that covers 75 regions where the unemployment rate is 50% or higher, aiming to aid 75,000 families with sustenance and employment support at an estimated expense of Tk819 crore.
Farooq also appealed to NGOs and foreign donor agencies to join hands on this project if interested. BRAC Chairperson, Dr Hossain Zillur Rahman stressed the importance of rehabilitating flood-hit areas, encouraging not only BRAC but also other NGOs to partake in essential projects to restore roads, initiate recovery schemes, rectify drainage systems, and reduce waterlogging in these regions by December.
