Askinayon Sangma

Caritas Bangladesh
Bangladesh
Askinayon currently works as a Human Resources Officer at the Caritas National Office for Caritas Bangladesh. In order to effectively address the needs of poor and marginalised people, Caritas Bangladesh established separate “Integrated Community Development Projects” (ICDP) aimed specifically at indigenous peoples. These projects are currently implemented in seven Caritas Regions in Bangladesh and focus on improving the quality of life of indigenous communities through social, educational, economic and cultural activities. As Human Resources Officer, Askinayon is involved in the recruitment process for different positions in the ICDP, and is also involved in organising programs for World Indigenous Day every year. Askinayon believes this program will assist in Caritas’ advocacy work in pursuing social justice for poor and marginalised people; particularly Indigenous communities, women and children. Further, he believes it will contribute in strengthening self-managed and sustainable peoples’ organisations Caritas Bangladesh organises at the grassroots level, through networking and advocacy.
