Caritas is working in Bangladesh with the Department of Fisheries to mobilize the poorest members of the fishing communities living adjacent to five waterbodies. Caritas' Development, Extension, Education Services approach is described. The rural poor form a federation of primary groups which is an independent, legally recognized cooperative society; and then support from Caritas is withdrawn in a phased process. Progress in forming groups and providing training and credit is described. Constraints encountered fall into three categories: institutional (e.g., existing lease agreement), social conflicts (e.g., opposition by local elites), and technical (e.g., seasonal beels that dry up during the dry season). A process of empowering fishers, and of disempowering those interest groups that previously denied fishers opportunities and rights, is recommended
