HDRCSocio-economic Baseline Survey of Chittagong Hill TractsThe major source(s) of drinking and cooking water in CHT are not safe. Mosttubewells have not been tested for arsenic contamination. People have to travel longdistances to fetch drinking water and spend substantial amount of time for the same. Thedistance and traveling time varies by season (dry and wet). A widespread practice ofgender discrimination in collection of water has been found; it is the female memberswho suffer most due to water scarcity and inadequate hygiene situation. The use of latrineby all household members is not practiced in most of the households having hygieniclatrine. The practice of healthy personal hygiene, including hand washing at critical timesand disposal of household waste, is below the optimum level.viiiOverall 43% households (50% indigenous and 34% Bangalee) listen to radio, and60% households with 54% indigenous and 68% Bangalee watch TV. Of those not owningradio, 16% go to neighbor’s houses and 13% to Hat/Bazar and relatives’/ friends’ homes.Of those not owning TV, 29% go to neighbor’s homes, 15% to Hat/bazar, and 13% torelative’s/ friend’s homes.The common people’s day-to-day life in CHT is closely associated with thetraditional power structure and lower tier of the local government, and to someextent with the security forces. During last three months prior to the survey, one ormore members of 51% households have visited Karbaris, 32% visited Headmen, 48%visited UP members, 40% visited UP Chairmen, and 10% have visited Army/ BDR/APBCamps for various day-to-day affairs. During the same time, visits have also been madeby one or more members of sample households to health workers (30%), NGOs (24%)and Union Health and Family Welfare Centres (20%). Access to various governmentoffices at local level is significantly low. Access to district and/or regional powerstructure is also negligible. Overall, at least one member from 3% of the households havevisited the Circle Chief during last three years, 4% visited Hill District Council, and 1%visited both the CHT Development Board and CHT Regional Council.Overall participation in local level organization is low. Only 20% of households haveclaimed about having participation (membership) in CBO activities by any of their(household’s) members. Only 10% of households with 13% for Bangalees and 9% for IPs(9%) received any type of skill development training in last one year from one or moresources. Only 3% of the households of both the IPs and the Bangalees are involved inmulti-community organizations.In terms of composite score on women and development issues, the IPs, on average,are in a better-off position with 12 percentage-points higher scores than that of theBangalees. However, the indigenous peoples and the Bangalees still need to achieve 56and 68 percentage-points respectively to attain the ideal situation (100%).Majority of the population in CHT have extremely inadequate knowledge about thecontent of the CHT Accord 1997. They rather merely know that there has been anAccord which is known as the ‘Peace Treaty’. The plausible reasons for not knowing thekey content of the CHT Accord 1997 include lack of intensive discussion on the issuesamong CHT population, several closed-door negotiation meetings before signature of the
