Bangladesh Second Programmatic Jobs Development Policy Credit

closed

The development objective of Second Programmatic Jobs Development Policy Credit Project supports the government of Bangladesh's program of reforms to address the country’s jobs challenges by: (i) modernizing the trade and investment environment; (ii) strengthening systems that protect workers and build resilience; and (iii) improving policies and programs that enhance access to jobs for vulnerable populations. This operation directly supports the GoB’s goals of accelerating job creation, improving job quality, and ensuring inclusive access to quality jobs, particularly for women and youth; the agenda of the program will be even more important as Bangladesh seeks to recover from the Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis. The Development Policy Credit (DPC) series directly supports the World Bank CPF FY 16-20 objective of delivering more and better jobs, with relevance across all three focus areas.
