FactsheetTechnical Assistance to Livestock and Dairy Development in Bangladesh - UTF/BGD/078/BGD 2025

No results found.Bangladesh aims to achieve an annual two-digit growth in its gross domestic product, currently at a rate of six percent. Agriculture, and especially livestock, is essential to this development. There is an urgent need to find sustainable solutions to diversify agriculture and boost household income while supporting economic growth and reducing poverty. A World Bank-supported study (2016) revealed that the livestock and fisheries subsectors in Bangladesh were underutilized, despite being vital drivers of agricultural growth. In response, the DLS secured USD 500 million from the World Bank to implement the Livestock and Dairy Development Project (LDDP), aimed at developing the livestock sector by strengthening key value chains, including dairy, poultry and ruminants such as cattle, buffalo, sheep and goats. In Bangladesh, most livestock farmers are smallholders faced by several challenges, including a lack of organization to form producer groups (PGs), the absence of value chain-based farmer groups and infrastructure, limited knowledge of good livestock management practices, inadequate access to quality services, and low awareness of relevant policies and legislation. The aim of the project was to contribute to enhancing resilience and promoting inclusive agroeconomic growth through risk-informed strategies and best practices aimed at diversifying agricultural production and improving productivity. -
FactsheetCapacity Building and Policy Support to Livestock and Dairy Development in Bangladesh - UTF/BGD/079/BGD 2024
Also available in:
No results found.A World Bank-supported study (2016) in Bangladesh revealed that the livestock and fisheries subsectors were underexploited despite being vital drivers of agricultural growth. The Department of Livestock Services (DLS) received USD 500 million from the World Bank to implement the Livestock and Dairy Development Project, designed to target all main livestock value chains in the country. To assist the LDDP, the government requested technical assistance from FAO. The aim of the FAO project was to increase resilient and inclusive agroeconomic growth through strategies and best practices that diversify agricultural production and enhance productivity. Specifically, it would provide technical and methodological advice, coaching and mentoring to the LDDP staff responsible for the day-to-day implementation of the LDPP and the development of specific products and deliverables.
