Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK) is implementing the EngageNow project under the Nagorikata: Civic Engagement Fund (CEF) programme with support from the Embassy of Switzerland and Global Affairs Canada (GAC). The project aims to enhance the capacities of women, men, and other marginalised communities in Bangladesh to promote accountability and a culture of human rights. Through the EngageNow project, various initiatives are implemented to empower women at the local level and strengthen women’s leadership. As part of this project, in July 2025, ASK organised an annual coordination meeting and adoption of the work plan. The meeting covered various issues in detail, including the implementation of the program and its strategy according to the established work plan, the role in addressing potential challenges, the format for preparing reports, and the steps or initiatives that can be taken considering the best interests of children and women.
