The UWA Business School is proud to host the visit to Perth of Dr Badiul Alam Majumdar who joined The Hunger Project as Country Director in Bangladesh in 1993 and was named Vice President 2003. He is the founder and Secretary of Shujan (Citizens for Good Governance), a civil organisation.

Bangladesh is one of the world’s most densely populated countries with 150 million people, 49 percent of whom live below the national poverty line. The Hunger Project has been active in Bangladesh since 1990 and is currently the largest volunteer based organisation covering all 64 districts. Dr Majumdar will outline how The Hunger Project works in rural areas to promote self reliance and the sustainable end of hunger through the training of local government leaders, women and youth.
