Inclusive Growth in Bangladesh

Abstract

Using a multi-faceted approach, The Asia Foundation identifies key policy barriers to inclusive and green growth, and supports agents of change who individually or by mobilizing others drive necessary reforms and actions. The important role women can and do play in economic growth is an underlying and cross-cutting theme of our work. Fundamental to our success is a political economy approach based on multi-disciplinary analysis and a deep understanding of key actors, power dynamics, and incentives for action. Through strategic, flexible, and evolving interventions, we are committed to creating effective coalitions by liaising with champions for reform, engaging sector-specific “development entrepreneurs” who enjoy the confidence of stakeholders and can drive forward the reform process, and using action research to highlight new issues, find solutions to existing questions, and raise public awareness.
