DORP NGO

Development Organisation of the Rural Poor-DORP, a national Non-Government Organization (NGO) established in 1987, has been working in the field of development in different parts of Bangladesh. It came into being in the wake of the devastating 1970 cyclone in the coastal belt of Bangladesh with the objective of helping the affected people rise from the battered condition. In the DORP evolution process, it has experimented various approaches and carried out some action-oriented research with a view to identify directions of its programs with active participation of rural people as program partners. DORP is being run by a three-step macro management system under a three-member Advisory Body, a General Body of Twenty Two members and an Executive Committee of seven members. The pioneer and founder of the DORP, A H M Nouman belongs to the first generation development activist of the country
