Who We Are

Daahuk is a for-profit cooperative-based research and project management entity working in climate-vulnerable rural areas of Bangladesh, where it conducts field-based research, designs and manages development projects, builds climate-resilient livelihoods, supports community cooperatives, and promotes sustainable community-owned business initiatives.

Founded with a vision to bridge the gap between research and grassroots action, Daahuk operates at the intersection of evidence-based development and community empowerment. Our work spans from Tanguar Haor's wetlands to rural cooperatives across northeastern Bangladesh.

Our Values

What Drives Us

Inclusion

Every voice matters. We ensure marginalized communities lead their own development.

Creation

Innovating sustainable solutions rooted in local knowledge and global best practices.

Solidarity

Standing together with communities facing climate vulnerability and economic hardship.

Framework

Integrated Social Capital

Integrated social capital refers to a collective resource derived from the shared wellbeing orientations, cooperative behavior, and transformative aspirations of a human group.

It is grounded in the premise that every individual—and, more broadly, every living element within a social ecosystem—possesses an inherent capacity to contribute to the betterment of their surrounding environment. By mobilizing these capacities, integrated social capital functions as a catalyst for addressing complex social and economic challenges.

Regional Alignment Movement

The Regional Alignment Movement is conceived as a collective initiative aimed at mobilizing the aspirations of individuals to generate positive change within their respective countries, regions, or local communities.

Central to this idea is the principle of locality—the recognition that locally grounded actors play a catalytic role in driving sustainable transformation.
