The Pollibir Unnayan Sangstha (Pollibir Development Organization
(PBDO)), is dedicated to promoting sport in rural areas, rural
health, high quality strategic and applied research on socio-economic,
agriculture and rural development and conduct of nationwide surveys
on self-rated poverty, hunger and food insecurity. It considers health
and sport as critical for human development and self-rated poverty,
hunger and food insecurity data relevant for appropriate pro-poor
and people centred policy formulation. Integration of objective and subjective indicators, it
believes, represent an additional dimension towards understanding the level and depth of
poverty and food security and contribute to better policy formulation.
Pollibir has a number of unique characteristics that has evolved into its activities, research
culture, including close teamwork, getting data right through its own primary field work and
rural surveys, and close dialogue with policy-makers. I invite you to visit our website where
you will find rich information about us, our contribution to rural health and sports and findings
related to self-rated poverty, hunger and happiness in Bangladesh.
