| Summary: | This Rural Income Diagnostic (RID)
aims to answer the question: “What are the main
opportunities and constraints to faster, sustained income
growth for poor and vulnerable households in rural
Bangladesh” This analysis is motivated by recent evidence
highlighting the centrality of rural areas for poverty
reduction in Bangladesh and the need to update our
understanding of rural income dynamics to better inform
policy solutions. The objective of the analysis is to inform
the World Bank Systematic Country Diagnostic and
governmentplanning. The analysis focuses on areas where
progress can be made in the next five years, consistent with
the country’s long-term development path. The focus on
short-term priorities to accelerate rural income growth
needs to be implemented in a manner that is consistent with,
and does not distract from, long-run goals and investments
that will have very high future returns, especially for the
poor. These include investments in child nutrition, health,
and education. |
