Marma people eat delicious food.
But young Marmas aren’t learning how to cook their traditional recipes. These days it’s easy to make food using the ingredients you find in every shop like instant noodles.
Marmas use fruits, vegetables and herbs from the forest or from their small garden farms. Some of these are very rare.
The UK Department for International Development is designing a programme to continue its efforts to end extreme poverty.
As a member of the design team Shaila provided her expertise in Social Development and Gender.
The team designed DFID’s next extreme poverty programme for Bangladesh. The mission operated in Bangladesh from September to December 2015 with submission of the design document in March 2016.
Shaila led on social mobilisation, gender, community participation, voice, and local government engagement.
I am excited to be part of a multidisciplinary team of experts to work on a very timely issue for Bangladesh. We’re putting our heads together to think about the next generation of programmes to continue tackling poverty.
