Human rights and democracy in Bangladesh : a plan for Norwegian support

Based on an analysis of the human rights and democracy situation in Bangladesh and an evaluation of previous and ongoing Norwegian support both to government and local and national civil society players, an action plan has been worked out through several participatory processes involving both Bangladeshi institutions and organisations, other development partners, bilateral as well as multilateral, and first and foremost the programme officers and advisors at the Embassy.
The main purpose of the plan, as approved by the NORAD
head office in Oslo, has been to identify priority areas for future
Norwegian support to human rights and democracy in
Bangladesh. The plan also provides the socio-economic and
cultural context for support to each of the five areas that have
been identified together with plans for change for each of them.
