Progress on Bangladesh's Implementation of the DPoA
Bangladesh, under the leadership of the Economic Relations Division, Ministry of Finance, has taken significant steps towards implementing the Doha Program of Action (DPoA). This includes the formation of committees, preparation of action plans aligning with national goals, and active participation in international conferences to seek continued support post-graduation from the Least Developed Country (LDC) category. The government's commitment to eradicating poverty, achieving sustainable development goals, and fostering global partnerships is evident through these initiatives.
