BANGLADESH: Sixth Five Year Plan: Accelerating Growth and Reducing Poverty

The adoption of the Sixth Five Year Plan: Accelerating Growth and Reducing Poverty, is part of the ambition of the Government to achieve solid development targets as part of the Vision 2021 and the associated Perspective Plan 2010-2021. Indeed, notwithstanding past progress, the Government recognizes that Bangladesh is still a low income country with substantial poverty, inequality and deprivation. The implementation of Vision 2021 will be done through two medium term development plans, with the first spanning FY11-15. The fifth plan is based on a balance between providing incentives to private sector and instituting regulatory policies for safeguarding public interests. In absolute terms, public investment would amount to 22.8%, whereas the Private Sector contribution would amount to 77.2% of total Plan investment. The Sixth Plan is divided into three parts. Part-1 addresses the Strategic Directions and Policy Framework; Part-2 explores Sectoral Strategies, Programmes and Policies and Part 3 provides for a Statistical Annex and Technical Framework.
