Acted Bangladesh
Bangladesh, a South Asian nation with a fast-growing economy, is navigating a complex mix of challenges and opportunities. The country has made significant progress in poverty reduction, education, and healthcare, emerging as a model for economic resilience. However, Bangladesh faces hurdles such as political instability (revolution in July 2024), climate change, and an over-reliance on a few economic sectors. In addition to its own internal struggles, Bangladesh hosts more than a million Rohingya refugees, forming one of the largest settlements worldwide for the past seven years. Since commencing operations in Bangladesh in 2018 in response to the Rohingya refugee crisis, Acted has developed a comprehensive strategy across five pillars: Emergency, WASH systems, Information Management, CSO support, and promoting green economy practices.
