Abstract

Women are the most marginalized and vulnerable to disasters due to disadvantaged socio-economic status and unequal access to resources in Bangladesh. Common perceptions paint women as dependent, weak, incapable, and subordinate, viewing them as burdens, which keeps them isolated from the mainstream processes of society, like planning and decision-making. The present study was conducted in the Kurigram and Patuakhali districts of Bangladesh. It aimed to explore women's role in disaster management, focusing on the nature of their involvement and different social factors that influence women's participation. Primary data were collected through 203 questionnaires from two districts, and 4 FGDs were conducted to validate and cross-check the data obtained from the questionnaires. 2 Expert opinion surveys have been conducted in the study area. The data reveals the present condition of women's participation in disaster management processes and their undervalued contribution in different stages, different factors influencing their active participation, the evolution and future perspectives about their involvement in disaster management. Participants reported that a lack of educational awareness programs and work independence hinder their active participation in disaster management.  Findings highlight a significant gap regarding the current gender responsive disaster management policies. The result highlights that it is necessary to ensure their contributions are recognized at all levels of disaster management.

Abstract

The socioeconomic and environmental potential of cashew nut production in Bangladesh's Ranganati Hill District is examined in this study while emphasizing the crop's potential as a cash crop for rural development. With yields of 1.4 to 1.8 tons per hectare and net returns exceeding those of conventional crops, cashew farming—which was first promoted by the Department of Agricultural Extension and the Chittagong Hill Tracts Development Board—has proven very profitable. This study explores the socio-economic viability of cashew nut farming in Rangamati, Bangladesh, as a sustainable alternative for rural livelihoods. Despite advantageous agro-climatic conditions, the industry nevertheless confronts obstacles, including weak marketing infrastructure, insufficient financial facilities, and restricted availability of high-quality planting supplies. Sixty farmers participated in the research, which was carried out in eight Ranganati upazilas. It used primary and secondary data to examine the variables that affect cashew production, such as land types, seedling sources, cultivation expenses, and economic profitability. According to the findings, steep hills were the favoured land type, and 63% of farmers switched to cashew growing because it was profitable. Most farmers paid between 11.000 and 15.000 Taka a year for cultivation and obtained seedlings from the Upazila Agriculture Office (UAO). With domestic pricing between 500 and 600 BDT per kilogram and production costs between 300 and 350 BDT, cashew cultivation exhibits strong economic viability, resulting in a 95–100% profit margin. However, the sector's expansion is hampered by a lack of high-quality processing facilities and training. The research comes to the conclusion that cashew farming may greatly boost rural employment, poverty alleviation, and GDP development in Bangladesh with the right governmental support, infrastructural investment, and capacity building
