What's Missing?

 

The obstacles to ending hunger are deeply entrenched in Bangladeshi society.  On a daily basis, hungry people face the challenge of providing for their families in the face of traditional prejudices, unjust laws, corruption, failed economic policies, and the severe subjugation of women.  

 

These are obstacles that cannot be overcome through large scale aid programs, that are not created and managed by local people themselves.  Neither can they be addressed by small-scale interventions, that ignore the system of the persistence of chronic hunger. 

 

When we work strategically in The Hunger Project, we aim to uncover what's missing overall - that if provided - would cause the biggest breakthrough in ending hunger.

 

The following pages look at two pieces to what's missing to end hunger in Bangladesh: 1) Vision and people's participation, and 2) Women's empowerment as agents of change.
