Since 2018, 180 families in 6 villages of 3 Upazilas of Gaibandha district have been included as beneficiaries of the HFDC project through MOMODa FOUNDATION. Out of 180 families, 60 families are extremely poor, 60 families are moderately poor and 60 families are not poor. It may be mentioned that out of 6 villages, 3 villages are located in Fulchari and Saghata Char.
The MOMODa FOUNDATION has been conducting follow-up surveys on the savings and consumption of 160 beneficiary families for 15 consecutive days. Basically, this is one of the issues in this project which is changing the consumption and savings of the beneficiaries. The HFDC project is being conducted in collaboration with Dr Kazushi Tankaha, Professor at Sofia University, Japan. All the beneficiaries are divided into three groups through RCT and their savings are received. And the beneficiaries have reimbursed the principal along with their profits at a fixed rate during times of scarcity (flood, epidemic, drought, etc.)
This part is being implemented through GRDF, a local NGO in Gaibandha. Due to the epidemic of COVID-19, all activities of this project were suspended from last March 2020. So, the MOMODa FOUNDATION decided that the survey would be taken on the digital Platform SurveyCTO.
This is the first time that data collection has been re-launched through the HFDC project at the Digital Platform SurveyCTO in Gaibandha in collaboration with some vigilant staff of the MOMODa FOUNDATION. This survey is currently running.
