KHANI Annual Meet-up 2026
JYDA Bangladesh, as a member organization of the KHANI Bangladesh Network, participated in the KHANI Annual Meet-up 2026, held in Hotel Lake Castle, Dhaka on 10–11 August 2026.
JYDA Bangladesh was represented by our Executive Director, Mr. Shahrukh Karim, who joined the two-day gathering alongside member organizations, rights-based organizations, researchers, experts and development partners.
The annual meet-up focused on advancing the Right to Food and Nutrition and discussed key issues including food prices and inflation, farmers’ fair prices, women farmers’ recognition, agricultural and land reform, social protection, labour rights, food safety, market management and the impacts of climate change.
The event also provided an important platform for member organizations to reflect on collective priorities, strengthen coordination, exchange experiences and contribute to future advocacy and policy engagement for a more just and sustainable food system.
As a youth-led organization working with climate-vulnerable communities, farmers, youth and marginalized groups, JYDA Bangladesh remains committed to contributing to collective efforts for food justice, climate justice and inclusive development.
We are grateful to KHANI Secretariat organization PRAAN - Participatory Research & Action Network for bringing together diverse civil society voices and creating space for meaningful collaboration.
