World Bank - Bangladesh

Unverified non-profit organisation

Bangladesh is one of the largest recipients of support from International Development Association (IDA), the World Bank’s concessionary arm. Since 1972, the World Bank has committed more than $15 billion support to the Government of Bangladesh to reduce poverty and improve the lives of the people.

The World Bank works in close partnership with the Government of Bangladesh and always aligns its programs and projects with Government priorities. The World Bank also works closely with other development partners, non-government organizations, civil society, academia, and other stakeholders.

The World Bank supports the Government in its efforts on macro-economic stability and growth, power, infrastructure, climate change and disaster management, human and social development and poverty reduction. The World Bank provides both financing and technical assistance that have helped the country to be on track on achieving the MDGs.
