| dc.description | Bangladesh is a very densely populated country with a population of about150 millions of
which 1.2 million are tribal and about 53 percent of total population are female (BBS, 2010).
The overall economy of Bangladesh is not up to the mark. It is a low income country, with
per capita income of $848in fiscal Year 2012 (BBS, 2012). Poverty persists at a very high
level. About 40 percent of total population lives below national poverty line and 25 percent of
those are classified by governments as ‘extremely poor’ who cannot afford an adequate diet
(World Bank, 2010). This includes women as well as men. In Bangladesh the male-female
ratio is 104:100 (BBS, 2012). | en_US |

the difference in the changes of the condition of the women beneficiaries on the following
aspects: changes in the social participation of women beneficiaries and changes in decision
making of women beneficiaries, to explore the relationships between impact of value chain
and selected characteristics of women beneficiaries and to determine the problems in
implementing value chain and suggestions to overcome the problems. The study was carried
out in Ghoraghat upazila of Dinajpur District. Ninety two (92) respondents were selected as
sample from an updated list of 184 women beneficiaries using simple random sampling

beneficiaries under pollisree. Women beneficiaries of Pollisree got a greater opportunity to
increase their decision making ability after introduce of value chain program. Pearson Product
Moment Correlation Co-efficient analysis indicated that out of eight selected characteristics of the
women beneficiaries savings, attitude towards Pollisree, training received and aspiration have
significant positive relationships with the impact of value chain. ‘Lack of skill among women
beneficiaries’ (90.22 percent) emerged as the most important problem opined by the women
beneficiaries. The least (56.52 percent) perceived problem mentioned by the respondent was
‘getting of whole seller in value chain market system is difficult’. Foremost (78.26 percent)
