Bangladesh: UNDP, Sweden to continue support

DHAKA, 04 July 2022, (TON): Sweden and the United Nations Development Programme in Bangladesh will be continuing their partnership to create economic opportunities for ultra-poor rural women in the country.

A cost-sharing agreement was signed to this end at the Swedish embassy office in Dhaka to extend the Swedish embassy and UNDP Bangladesh’s flagship project ‘Strengthening Women’s Ability for Productive New Opportunities’ until 2025.

Sudipto Mukerjee, resident representative of UNDP Bangladesh, and Christine Johansson, charge d’ affaires of the embassy of Sweden in Dhaka, signed the cost-sharing agreement on behalf of their respective sides.

Christine Johansson said “the Swedish embassy has been working closely with Bangladesh.”

The engagement and continuous support from the government for project SWAPNO gives us extra confidence to move forward with this phase and shows how it can be replicated for further development.
