Using Blockchain for Women and Girls in Bangladesh - Lesson Learned and a Roadmap - April 2023
In Bangladesh, and in many contexts, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) distributes dignity kits to women and girls at one place and time…while other United Nations (UN) agencies distribute different types of aid to the same people separately, at another place and time. Not only does this girl, and many others, have to travel long distances multiple times – time that could be spent on school or at home – but it also raises gender-based violence risks, and unexpected travel expense– and is simply inefficient programming. To respond to this Bangladeshi girls’ simple yet powerful question, since 2021, with financial support from Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), the Global Programme to End Child Marriage (GPECM), UNFPA’s Emergency Fund (EF), the World Food Programme (WFP) and UNFPA have been using WFP’s Building Blocks blockchain platform to deliver sanitary pads and nutritious food to beneficiaries in Dhaka’s urban slums – together.

Transforming Lives 2022
The year 2022 was pivotal. We saw the global population hit 8 billion in November. For UNFPA, it was crucial to emphasize that population growth in and of itself is not a threat or a negative thing as long as it is grounded in the free choices of women. Our work to promote the reproductive rights and choices of women and girls in Bangladesh includes efforts at all levels in partnership with the government and civil society.
The following 12 stories of girls, women, boys, and men from all around Bangladesh serve as a reminder that behind every intervention, there are people - with unique backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
UNFPA thanks the government of Bangladesh, donors, strategic partners, and supporters for all the assistance and hard work. Our continued partnership gives us faith in a future in Bangladesh in which every woman, girl, and young person can live a life of dignity and choices, with the opportunity to enjoy their rights and fulfill their potential.
