Samriddhi

Samriddhi Project Document
It is estimated that an additional 500,000 households outside the geographical area of the
project will benefit through the interventions of market actors of the value chains, and through
the services delivered by SPAs. These actors work at Upazilla and therefore can collaborate
with households outside the Unions covered by Samriddhi, according to the same modalities as
the households supported by the project. Hence, the overall coverage of the project will be more
than 1,200,000 beneficiary households or roughly 5 million people.
5.2 Geographical intervention areas
Samriddhi will work in 16 districts of Rajshahi division and in the Sunamganj district of Sylhet
division, covering 58 Upazillas in total. The project will increase its outreach by vertically
expanding inside the existing wards and horizontally expanding its intervention into new areas
The result will be to include 655 new Wards, 43 new Unions, and 2 new Upazillas.,
LEAF and SAAKTI are currently working in 168 Unions and within these it presently covers 82%
of the Wards. In the next phase, Samriddhi will work in all 1899 Wards of 211 Unions,
representing an increase of over 50% in the area serviced by the project (see Table 2 and
Figure 4)
