About National Development Programme (NDP)

Who we are: In 1988, a massive flood in Bangladesh destroyed lives, livelihoods, and property. Sirajganj, located beside the Jamuna River was seriously affected. National and international NGOs helped flood victims. Local youth, with the leadership of Md. Alauddin Khan, the Executive Director, volunteered with NGOs in emergency response and recovery. The team realized that long-term solutions are needed to help the flood victims and the poor people. Their ideas on sustainable development were well-received by donors. It motivated them to start a new organization, and on January 1, 1992, "National Development Programme (NDP)" officially started its journey.
