Strategic Objective:

To bridge the gap between local lived experiences and national policy by modeling evidence-based interventions that influence the Government of Bangladesh and development partners to adopt more inclusive, pro-poor governance.

Key Focus Areas:

• Evidence-Based Policy Influence: Leveraging HCCB’s proven field models and data-driven “good practices” to provide the Government with a design for effective community development.
• Collective Grassroots Mobilization: Empowering local organizations and community groups to form a united front, identifying and challenging the systemic barriers that stall development.
• Strategic Stakeholder Engagement: Navigating the ecosystem of development agencies and authorities to ensure the needs of the most vulnerable are prioritized in high-level decision-making.

Key results and Indicators:

• The extent to which HCCB’s models, data, or reports are formally cited or adopted by government bodies and development agencies in their strategic planning.
• # of systemic barriers or local policy issues prioritized by community groups that have been successfully addressed or resolved through collective advocacy actions.
