Looking back to the significance of its genesis, BISAP certainly feels proud to be beside the unnerved and disadvantaged community people with its prime mission„ all people rather than working for the peoples is essential for sustainable development. The coming days stood as quite significant while added some extra pace for BISAP in concentrating more on establishing the people’s rights.The Community Managed Disaster Risk Reduction (CMDRR) has already created the opportunity for cementing of a better information, standardization and uniformity of services at all levels, structured programme management, community accessibility, acceptability and empowerment of the civil society especially the community allies, and the women and specially the children sensitization government institutions and policy-makers.
