Bangladesh
The Challenge
The challenge in Bangladesh is to support indigenous economic and political reform efforts that will build a stronger, more stable democratic government committed to free and fair elections, human rights, reducing corruption, and combating trafficking in persons. Bangladesh remains one of the most densely populated and poorest countries in the world. Many development indicators are low even by South Asian standards. The Government of Bangladesh is considered weak, corruption is pervasive and chronic, and the nation is vulnerable to recurrent droughts, floods, and cyclones. Intensifying political gridlock, paralyzing general strikes, deteriorating law and order, and a recent surge in extremist violence all create further obstacles to development and progress. USAID is confronting these challenges by strengthening governance, combating corruption, creating jobs, improving health and education, and advancing disaster preparedness and humanitarian relief.
