Small Farmer Development Foundation (SFDF)

On the initiative of the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives of the Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh, the "Small Farmers and Landless Workers Development Project" was started experimentally in 3 Sadar Thanas of Comilla, Bogra and Mymensingh districts in the financial year 1985-1988. As the progress of experimental activities of the project was observed satisfactorily, the activities of the project were extended to 11 upazilas of Patuakhali and Barguna districts from July 197. The first phase of the project was completed in June 1991.

 

The second phase of the project was implemented in 1991-96. During the implementation of the second phase of the project, activities were implemented in 21 upazilas by involving 4 upazilas of Barisal district and 3 upazilas of Bhola district. The third phase of the project was implemented in 1998-99. During the implementation of the third phase, Kachua upazila of Chandpur district was included. The third phase of the project was evaluated and the project was completed in the period 1999-2004 as an "demonstration" program. During the exhibition period, activities were carried out in 30 upazilas of 06 districts by projecting 6 upazilas including 3 in Chandpur district, 3 in Mymensingh district, 1 in Bhola district and 1 in Barisal district. As the exhibition activities were hopefully reflected in various evaluations, it was decided to turn the project into a separate organization with the aim of spreading it across the country. The project was transformed into a limited company called “Small Farmers Development Foundation” by registering with the Directorate of Joint Capital Companies and Firms under Section 26 of the Companies Act, 1994 with existing assets and liabilities at maturity.
