It's sad to hear the news about Hugh Brammer.
Hugh Brammer will be remembered for his efficient cooperation over a long period between the population and the Government of Bangladesh, the UN Development System and many other organizations throughout his professional life. We will keep in our memories his help in difficult times - when Bangladesh faced many challenges. During my assignment as FAO Representative in Bangladesh, 2006 – 2011, Hugh meant a lot to me and we had many exchanges. He was always ready to advise during the 2008 Food, Fertilizer en Fuel crisis and later he assisted with the preparations of the Master Plan for Agricultural Development in the Southern Region of Bangladesh.
Hugh's contributions have been recognized through many awards. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) recognized his services by according the prestigious B. R. Sen Award (1981), for his outstanding technical work and support towards comprehensive food security in Bangladesh.
Hugh: a man of his own, ‘rooted in ground reality’ as his friend and colleague M. Asaduzzaman wrote last week: ‘The best we can do to honour him is to continue’. Let us all agree with this.
