USAID/Bangladesh’s Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) 2020-2027 presents USAID’s approach to furthering Bangladesh’s development. The strategy acknowledges Bangladesh’s challenges and leverages its assets as an important and longstanding development partner.
Through this strategy, USAID builds on past work in economic growth, education, health, energy, environment, food security, disaster preparedness, and democracy, human rights, and good governance using programming approaches that capitalize on the interdependence of development sectors.
The CDCS focuses on integrated development efforts to drive greater impact across four Development Objectives:
- DO 1: Democracy Strengthened
- DO 2: Sustainable Economic Growth Fostered
- DO 3: Human Capital Development Advanced
- DO 4: Strengthened Resilience
This CDCS was developed and finalized in 2020. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, USAID re-evaluated the strategy in 2023 and amended the plan to address evolving needs through 2027.
