The World Bank's Board of Executive Directors has approved three operations totaling $1.16 billion aimed at enhancing health services, improving water and sanitation, and promoting greener, climate-resilient development in Bangladesh. This funding is crucial for addressing the country's vulnerabilities to climate change and pollution.
"Bangladesh is among the most vulnerable countries to climate change and faces immense pollution challenges. Improving climate resilience in every sector and tackling pollution has become a critical development priority," said Abdoulaye Seck, World Bank Country Director for Bangladesh and Bhutan.
