Bangladesh has an inspiring story of growth and development. From being one of the poorest countries at independence, it is now among the world’s fastest growing economies. Its people are living longer and healthier lives. Almost all children—girls and boys—now go to school. More women are entering the workforce. The country has achieved food security, and electricity has reached all households. Bangladesh has emerged as a global leader in climate change adaptation and disaster preparedness. The World Bank has been a proud partner in this remarkable journey, through knowledge sharing and financing. With $15 billion ongoing commitment, Bangladesh has the largest program of the International Development Association (IDA)—the World Bank Group’s concessional financing arm, and the World Bank is the country’s largest external development partner.
