| Abstract | BRAC is a development success story. Founded in Bangladesh, we are one of the largest non-governmental organisations in the world: an innovator in poverty eradication and a social enterprise. Best known for our community-based approach and the scale of our programmes, we have created opportunities for 138 million people - mostly women - to set in motion lasting change. Active since 2006 we’ve ensured that 39 million people, many of whom live in hard-to-reach areas, have access to a hygienic latrine and 2.3 million people have access to a safe water source. There has been a reduction in open defecation in Bangladesh from 34 per cent in 1990 to 1 per cent in 2015. |
