Gono Unnayan Prochesta (GUP), meaning “People’s Development Efforts,” is a development organization established on April 22, 1973, in Bangladesh. Originating from the experiences of Quakers’ Peace and Service in supporting communities affected by the 1971 Liberation War, the organization initially focused on relief and rehabilitation activities, including road construction, flood shelter development, and pond excavation under the Food for Work Programme. GUP aims to promote sustainable community development, improve living conditions, and reduce dependency on external assistance through development-oriented initiatives.
