First-time parents or those about to become parents require specialized healthcare and proper guidance.

Under the leadership of the Directorate General of Family Planning, in collaboration with Save the Children and George Washington University, the Shongjog Project has been working in Bangladesh to address these needs.

This multi-country research project has successfully completed its activities across eight upazilas in Noakhali and Madaripur districts.

Throughout its implementation, the Shongjog Project conducted several impactful studies, including a Barrier and Facilitator Analysis, PNC Expectation vs. Reality Study, Rapid Survey, Impact Evaluation, and Realist Evaluation.

On February 23 at a program held at Hotel Sheraton, the findings, results, and experiences from these studies were shared with the guests.

Two informative presentations were delivered by Dr. Abu Said Mohammad Abdullah, deputy director, RCH, CIPRB, and Bidhan Krishna Sarkar, associate scientist, icddr,b, to highlight these topics.
