9 August 2010, Terokhada - A fisherman catches fish from rice paddies that have been flooded for three years in southern Bangladesh. Bangladesh was recently awarded a USD 50 million grant from the Global Agriculture and Food Security Programme (GAFSP) to increase agricultural productivity and reduce the vulnerability of farmers to drought, floods and tidal waves. FAO received USD 3.7 million of that funding to act as supervising entity for technical assistance.
