3.2 Interpreting Local Government SDG initiatives
Instance of specific SDG relevant initiatives from the local government level
could not be traced
However, a large number of urban LGs are engaged in several development
projects funded by GoB and international development partners that may
directly or indirectly foster the achievement of some of the SDGs. For instance,
Municipal Governance and Services Project (MGSP) aims to address the
operation and maintenance of the existing basic urban service system
The Local Government Initiative on Climate Change (LOGIC) project aims
to address the impacts of climate change in Bangladesh
The Coastal Towns Environmental Improvement Project (CTEIP, 2014-
2020) designed for 10 municipalities of Barisal-Khulna region to improve
climate-resilient infrastructure and strengthen institutional capacity and
governance.
Apart from these, 100 small-scale drainage improvement projects have
been undertaken by different municipalities with support from the
Bangladesh Climate Change Trust Fund (BCCTF).
The Northern Bangladesh Infrastructure Development Project
(NOBIDEP), supported by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA),
