The Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Authority on Wednesday welcomed a consultation mission led by Monica Mei V Carino-Young from the Asian Development Bank to discuss innovative partnership opportunities aimed at improving the quality of life for rural communities in Bangladesh.
In the meeting with Muhammad Rafiqul Islam, chief executive officer (secretary) of the PPP Authority, the ADB delegation expressed keen interest in supporting affordable housing projects for lower and middle-income families in rural areas.
The discussion centered on utilising the PPP model to attract private investment while ensuring affordability, sustainability and long-term community benefit.
The ADB team also sought co-operation to explore the installation of solar power generation facilities along the N8 Highway (Dhaka- Mawa- Bhanga), which would contribute to Bangladesh鈥檚 renewable energy capacity, reduce carbon emissions and promote energy access in underserved regions.
Speaking at the meeting, Muhammad Rafiqul Islam emphasised the importance of these initiatives in aligning with Bangladesh鈥檚 development priorities.
