CARE-B Mission
“Amplify voices of the poor and marginalized by using grass root level experience and knowledge; and building purposeful relationships with others; influence public opinion, development practices and policies”
That led CARE-B to develop long term programs around EP and most marginalized population groups keeping women at the centre of its programming

around extreme poverty• Previous studies, evaluations, SII• Define and Identify Impact group, their
characteristics and manifestations of poverty (PPA)• Drew characteristics from study “Exploring
dynamics of EP in Bangladesh”
