BRAC is a pioneer in developing and implementing cost-effective, evidence-based programs to help poor and disadvantaged communities in low-income nations, particularly conflict-prone and post-disaster areas. It is an organisation run by and for people from the Global South, pioneering new development and social entrepreneurial ways to help communities thrive.

BRAC is not only the world’s largest NGO in terms of staff and people directly touched, but it is also consistently named as the number one NGO in the world by the Geneva-based NGO Advisor, an independent organization dedicated to emphasizing innovation, impact, and governance in the non-profit sector. For the fifth year in a row, BRAC ranked first among the top 500 non-governmental organizations in 2020.

The BRAC was established in Bangladesh in 1972 by Sir Fazle Hasan Abed. It launched its first program outside of Bangladesh in Afghanistan in 2002 and has since served millions of people in 11 Asian and African nations.

The BRAC takes a holistic approach to development, utilizing a diverse range of programs and social enterprises in microfinance, education, health, agriculture, gender, and human rights. BRAC believes that everyone has inherent potential, and that when an enabling environment is created and that potential is realized, even the poorest people may become agents of good change in their own lives, families, and communities.

The BRAC Maendeleo Tanzania is part of a prominent development organization that began activities in Tanzania in 2006, focusing on thematic areas of agriculture, youth and women’s empowerment, food security, and livelihood.

The global pandemic has heightened the importance of supporting adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) living in poverty.
