Success Stroy of SAP-Bangladesh, Shahjadpur branch’s Member Shahinur

I am pleased to see the publication of the Annual Report 2022-2023 of SAP Bangladesh and remarkable achievements in the reporting year. During the last 39 years since its inception, SAP-Bangladesh has been providing rights and needs based services to the targeted communities of the country facing a lot of challenges in an effective and efficient manner with tremendous support from the local administration and communities. Despite the natural disasters and manmade crisis situations, the organization has been providing necessary supports to address the needs of the community people with significant success through implementation of the integrated sustainable development programs.

I am glad to present the Annual Report of SAP-Bangladesh for the fiscal year 2022-2023. In this reporting year, SAP-Bangladesh implemented its planned activities ensuring quality support to the targeted population including poor and ultra-poor people focusing women, children, youths, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, and ethnic communities. The targeted community people faced a lot of problems and challenges in the reporting year in making-up the losses resulted due to the post Covid situation. When the people were struggling in overcoming the post Covid situation, the war between Russia and Ukraine made the lives of the people unstable, uncertain and miserable.
