The Carter Center developed the Advancing Women’s Right of Access to Information in Bangladesh project, generously funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). This document assesses the impact of the Center's programming in Bangladesh from 2016-2019.
With the generous support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), in August 2016, The Carter Center began The Advancing Women’s Right of Access to Information in Bangladesh program to ensure that women in Bangladesh may more meaningfully exercise the right of access to information and transform their lives. In collaboration with the Manusher Jonno Foundation, implementing partners were selected to work in target districts of Dhaka, Khagrachari and Sylhet.

The local partners, chosen because of their experience with the right to information and their strong community connections, were Management and Resources Development Initiative (MRDI), Trinamul Unnayan Sangstha (TUS), and the Institute of Development Affairs (IDEA), respectively. In addition to working with civil society, the Center’s program has engaged with select Government of Bangladesh ministries and bodies, particularly those most relevant to women’s right to information.
