AMUS is proud to have worked in 1,533 villages across 163 unions in 18 upazilas, spread throughout eight districts in Bangladesh. As a reputable organization, we have successfully implemented 85 projects with support from local, national, and international donors, including government departments, bilateral donors, and foreign donors. Our approach is to always work in close cooperation with local government departments, such as the UPs, Upazilla administrations, district administrations, and Gram Sarkars, in accordance with our agreements.
At AMUS, we take pride in our extensive experience working with local administrations and are committed to meeting government-mandated requirements for government-supported projects. This includes full participation and coordination with the local administration. Moreover, we have developed a respectful and cooperative relationship with local government departments, integrating personnel from local government departments such as UP and Upazilla officials into each project’s implementation in various ways. Our ultimate aim is to implement projects with efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability while adhering to ethical standards and local laws.
The Ways:
- Share all project goals, objectives, activities, expected outputs, implementation strategies, and information about their roles and responsibilities.
- Integrate personnel from different government departments into different committees.
- Ensured participation in different workshops, trainings, seminars, etc.
- Invite them to every inauguration meeting of the project implementation.
- Submit a copy of the report to the meetings of the Upazilla, UP, and District Coordination Councils.
- Integrate the personnel from UPs and Upazillas in different organizational affairs and share the achievements, outputs, and problems.
- Sought cooperation and support for different problems and difficulties.
- Provided different training courses to UP personnel, LCS personnel, and Upazilla personnel.
- Sought technical and material support from the UPs, Upazillas, district-level officials, etc.
AMUS is committed to providing quality training courses, seminars, workshops, and other related activities for its staff, volunteers, and beneficiaries throughout the year. To achieve this goal, we have established dedicated training cells with technically qualified personnel and fully equipped centers that offer essential facilities, including accommodation, dining options, technical materials, training modules, books, training aids, and equipment. We have 137 Upazilla sub-training centers, each consisting of three rooms and serving all Upazillas. At each sub-upazilla training center, an assistant upazilla training coordinator will head a team of three individuals.
Our vocational approach aims to empower groups and equip them with practical skills to thrive. Furthermore, in a participatory setting, groups can raise social issues of exploitation and identify deficiencies in legal, social, and welfare knowledge. AMUS commits to addressing such issues by facilitating the group through a process of identifying coping strategies and filling in information gaps related to social issues.

Our story
About Her
Journey
Anupama Mitra, the executive director of our company, is a hardworking individual with incredible determination. Anupama faced physical challenges from a young age. Despite this, she persevered to become a self-reliant person despite the adversities she faced.
Through many trials and tribulations, Anupama was finally able to walk, although her right leg remained deformed. Despite these difficulties, she continued with her studies and moved to Jessore while studying in the 10th grade. Amar Paul, her husband, provided her with unwavering support throughout her journey.
Anupama formed a women’s organization and registered it with the Department of Women Affairs, Jessore, in 1992. She inspired women from various remote villages in Jessore to teach handicrafts and collaborated with WFP through the ‘Food for Work’ program from 1994 to 1996. Through this program, she trained a total of 250 individuals in embroidery, tailoring, poultry and cattle rearing, vegetable farming, and other essential skills that have helped transform the lives of many people.
