Child Equity Atlas - BIDS
Child Equity Atlas - BIDS Child Equity Atlas - BIDS
Summary and Conclusion these areas to make Bangladesh aspirations to achieve middle income country status by 2021 a reality with equity. 8.1.2 Finally, the CDI constructed in this study is strongly related to social deprivation and usable for multi-sector social targeting of the most deprived upazilas as it represents the education, housing, child protection and water and sanitation sectors. The index captures social deprivation and the results and maps can easily be used and understood. The higher the CDI number the worse the situation and, therefore, the more efforts to be invested to achieve the MDGs, focusing on the most deprived populations. 8.1.3 Importantly, the Atlas shows Bangladesh as homogeneously progressing in some of its development outcomes, but that it is also home to challenging disparities than previously thought. The analysis reveals that while good governance is a critical element of development, remoteness or isolation seen in urban wards are big drivers of social stagnation. Thus, efforts to reach and open up these areas should be increased, as stated in the Sixth Five Year Plan 2011-2015 of the Government of Bangladesh. This report has revealed the pockets of progress and poverty (as social deprivation), hoping that it leads to a wakeup call for all stakeholders to take appropriate action to address the inequalities by using the Atlas to guide policies, programmes and investment cases, towards a vision of a socially inclusive country, where children are not deprived due to where they are born or where they live but enjoy socioeconomic rights with equity in Bangladesh.
