Who We Are

BDGDC is a diaspora-led global platform that brings together Bangladeshis from across the world—professionals, youth, entrepreneurs, academics, and community leaders—to contribute collectively to social, economic, and sustainable development.

We serve as an advisory, consultative, and action-oriented body, creating pathways for collaboration between the diaspora, institutions, communities, and development partners.

BDGDC is not an arm of the Government of Bangladesh. Our members serve voluntarily in their personal and professional capacities as members of the global Bangladeshi diaspora.

Message from the founder

The Bangladeshi Global Diaspora Council is another ground breaking mechanism geared towards the facilitation of a more effective engagement between Bangladesh and the Diaspora. The Council will be established in January 2023. The concept of the Bangladeshi Global Diaspora Council evolved out of discussions with the existing Diaspora Advisory Board members and other stakeholders, including the Economic Growth Council, who agreed that there needed to be an expansion of the engagement within the Diaspora to include new and emerging regions where Bangladeshi reside. The Council will be an advisory and consultative body that will create pathways for increased engagement with the Bangladeshi Diaspora.
