Bangladesh is one of the world’s poorest countries. In the capital, Dhaka, alone there are over 4000 slums. The
 people living in the slums are poor and there are no school facilities for children. Fida supports a long-term partner, the Bangladesh Assemblies of God (BAG), in starting and carrying out slum development work in Dhaka. During the project, the partner re
ceives versatile training in, for example, environment, and people with disability, HIV/AIDS and gender issues as well as learns practical tools for community development work. A community centre established as part of the project provides basic education 
and vocational training as well as organizes community activities for the slum residents. The project includes child sponsorship. Through the project the partner’s knowledge and skills in slum community development increase. In addition, the training pro
vided at the community centre opens up new opportunities for the people living in the slums and, at the same time, strengthens the entire community. This will lead towards improved quality of life at community level.
Qualitative improvement of health services in Tanzania Terveyspalvelujen tason parantaminen Tansaniassa The project aims at improving Tanzanian health services by means of educating health services personnel while working. Health is a crucial determinant of societal development. Training is given by experienced Finnish clinical specialists in volunteer servi
ce of six weeks or more. In teaching hospitals emphasis is on specialist training in major local hospitals on establishing teamwork paradigm e.g. in maternal health care (starting from maternity health care to delivery to counseling child health also inclu
ding rehabilitation of children with birth damage) in smaller hospitals emphasis is on bedside instruction while working. The beneficiary is actually the whole health care system via improved efficacy and quality and it is hoped it will have a positive eff
ect on general attitudes. The project aims at strengthening existing but rudimentary functions. Hankkeen tavoite on parantaa Tansanian terveyspalvelujen tasoa kouluttamalla työn puitteissa terveydenhuoltohenkilöstöä. Terveys on keskeinen koko yhteiskunnan  kehittymiseen vaikuttava tekijä. Kouluttajina toimivat vapaaehtoiset suomalaiset kokeneet 
erikoislääkärit vähintään kuuden viikon jaksoissa. Opetussairaalassa painotetaan koulutus erikoislääkärien koulutukseen isommissa aluesairaaloissa tiimin rakentamiseen esim. äitiyshuollossa sekä ajallisesti jatkumona (raskaudenajan seurannasta s
ynnytykseen ja lastenneuvolatoimintaan tähän liittyy myös synnytysvaurioisten lasten kuntoutus) että työntekijäryhmien poikki (lääkäri anestesiahoitaja kätilö terveyssisar äiti) pienemmissä sairaaloissa keskitytään bedside-koulutukseen työn
 ohella. Hyötyjänä on koko terveydenhoitojärjestelmä jonka tehokkuus ja laatu paranevat ja ajattelutavan toivotaan muuttuvan. Hanke vahvistaa olemassa olevia mutta heikkoja rakenteita.
