The International Development Committee is interested in hearing your views on:
- The amount DFID allocates to its programme in Bangladesh and the type of work its supports.
- Whether DFID’s efforts to build effective institutions and support good governance are having an impact.
- Is DFID’s strategy for reducing poverty and inequality, including gender inequality, the right one?
- How can DFID best help Bangladesh to deal with the impacts of climate change and natural disasters?
- What role should initiatives led by community groups and NGOs play in helping to reduce poverty and increase access to basic services?
- Could the Bangladeshi community in the UK do more to support development efforts in Bangladesh and if so, in what ways could they have the most impact?
