Why was it created?
The Bangladeshi Global Diaspora Council (BDGDC) evolved out of discussions with a wide range of stakeholders, as well as the current Diaspora Advisory Board Members, who have long acknowledged the need for further expansion and inclusiveness of the engagement processes within and across the Diaspora.
What is the role & function?
The Council will serve as an advisory and consultative body which can explore pathways for increased engagement and partnership with the Diaspora on matters of interest to both the Diaspora and Bangladesh.
significance of the Diaspora’s involvement
The Council represents another avenue for the Diaspora to be involved in Bangladeshi’s development at the policy level across several sectors, in addition to addressing matters impacting the Diaspora where they reside. This will lead to greater synergies between the Diaspora and Bangladesh.
