Description

Actual CPV code is '75211200 Foreign Economic-Aid Related Services'.

Objective

To increase the dialogue on economic reforms, and support the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) to make pro-poor economic policies, DFID will invest in research/evaluation where clear gaps in evidence have been identified and develop partnerships with those with proven ability to influence economic policy and respond to selective requests from GoB to help implement economic reforms.

As part of the Strengthening Economic Systems in Bangladesh Programme, DFID - Bangladesh would like to commission a programme of economic dialogue on Inclusive Growth.

The purpose of the Strengthening Economic Systems in Bangladesh programme is two-fold:

• First, it is to provide knowledge and information resources to the Government of Bangladesh allowing them to raise questions, the answers to which will help better inform decision-making to facilitate sustainable development;
• Second, it is to provide a resource to help build capacity among local centres of expertise to research, outreach and disseminate information to the government to help inform and influence effective policy making on sustainable development.

We are looking to commission a programme of work from suppliers who are able to engage in effective economic dialogue with the GoB as well as NGOs, multilaterals and donors to influence economic policy. With this economic dialogue component focused on Inclusive Growth issues, it will complement other SES-B projects dealing with other sustainable development issues for Bangladesh.
