Analysis of changes is also highlighted here. BRAC started the Manoshi Project to bring skilled care into the informal settlement of six major cities in Bangladesh in 2007. Three core methods including social mapping, census tacking and community engagement were adopted to achieve the aims of Manoshi project.

The Manoshi Project has empowered the community through social mobilization, advocacy and communication.
