Economic Dialogue on Inclusive Growth in Bangladesh

About

The Department for International Development awarded a contract to Overseas Development Institute for a programme of economic dialogue on inclusive growth in Bangladesh, valued at AUD 749,303.25.

The programme aimed to increase dialogue on economic reforms and support the Government of Bangladesh in making pro-poor economic policies by investing in research and evaluation where evidence gaps were identified, developing partnerships with those able to influence economic policy, and responding to selective requests from the Government of Bangladesh to help implement economic reforms.

As part of the Strengthening Economic Systems in Bangladesh Programme, the purpose was twofold: to provide knowledge and information resources to the Government of Bangladesh to inform decision-making for sustainable development, and to build capacity among local centres of expertise to research, outreach, and disseminate information to influence effective policy making.

The supplier was expected to engage in effective economic dialogue with the Government of Bangladesh, NGOs, multilaterals, and donors to influence economic policy, complementing other SES-B projects.
