BANGLADESH–ADB: Building a Prosperous, Inclusive, Resilient, and Sustainable Future
Bangladesh joined ADB in 1973, initially focusing on post-liberation war reconstruction, agriculture, and food security. ADB’s portfolio, valued at over $30 billion as of 2022, spans infrastructure, energy, education, and climate resilience projects, supporting Bangladesh’s economic growth and poverty reduction. Recent COVID-19 funding helped strengthen social protection and health systems.

Key Areas of Support

• Infrastructure: Road, rail, and port developments enhanced connectivity, with projects like the Bangladesh-India Grid Interconnection supporting regional energy trade.
• Energy: ADB aided renewable energy initiatives, gas infrastructure, and power sector reforms, contributing to universal electricity access.
• Education: Programs improved school enrollment, especially for girls, and teacher training, aligning with SDG targets.
• Health: Urban primary health-care networks benefited over 6 million people, with COVID-19 response projects expanding social protection.

Recent COVID-19 Response

ADB provided $3.25 billion in emergency loans and technical assistance to bolster health systems, social safety nets, and trade finance, supporting vulnerable populations and economic recovery.

Looking Ahead

ADB’s 2021–2025 strategy focuses on climate adaptation, green growth, and inclusive development, supporting Bangladesh’s goal to graduate from LDC status by 2026 and become a high-income nation by 2041.
