BRAC has been implementing multi faceted programmes such as rural development
programme, education prograrnme, health and nutrition programme for poverty
alleviation. The core of rural development programme IS the fom1ation of village
organizations (VO) . Through the YOs BRAC organizes the poor (BRAC members), and
provide them with credit facility and other technical support.
Unlike developed countries, taking up life insurance policy is not very common in
Bangladesh. In 1990, BRAC introduced a life insurance scheme for its YO members. At
the death of any member BRAC pays Tk. 5000 for each claim from the interest fund of
the micro finance programme. There are some eligibility of receiving the insurance
claims; however, all members are entitled to the insurance. In 1998, 3,879 VO members
died and the insurance claims of a total of Tk. 19,395,000 was paid to their nominees.
The mam goals of this study were to find out the causes of death and mortality
differentials of BR;\C members and also to look at the settlement of insurance claims of
BRAC members. To know the hum:m health status, mortality is the key indicator. It is
hardly found the mortality study among BRAC members (adult female) . So Research and
Evaluation Di\'ision (RED) took an initiative to study the BRAC members who died in
1998.
Before actual study a pilot survey was carried out in Tangail and Sylhet regionsa during
December 1999 - February :woo and survey methods and tools were tested and finalised .
Based on the learning from the pilot survey, RED therefore decided to conduct a crosssectional
sample survey.
The broad objective of this study was to assess the death rates of BRAC YO members in
