BRAC, a national, private organisation, started as an almost entirely donor funded, small-scale relief and rehabilitaton project initiated by Fazle Hasan Abed to help the country overcome the devastation and trauma of the Liberation War and focused on resettling refugees returning from India. Today, BRAC has emerged as an independent, virtually self-financed paradigm in sustainable human development. It is one of the largest Southern development organisations employing 97,192 people, with 61% women, and working with the twin objectives of poverty alleviation and empowerment of the poor.

With its innovative approach to development, following no rigid model but constantly expanding and growing through experiential learning, BRAC today provides and protects livelihoods of 100 million of the 141 million people of Bangladesh. Diagnosing poverty in human terms and recognising its multidimensional nature, BRAC approaches poverty alleviation with a holistic approach. Through the unique integration of its core programmes, strategic linkages and constant evolution, BRAC has come to stand as a unique example of how a development organisation of the South can be sustainable without being largely dependant on donor assistance. BRAC’s outreach covers all 64 districts of Bangladesh and 78% of the total number of villages in Bangladesh and has been called upon to assist a number of countries including Africa, the Middle East and Afghanistan.
