The agreements were signed at the Economic Relations Division in Dhaka on Thursday by Kazi Shofiqul Azam, ERD secretary, and Manmohan Parkash, ADB country director. The agreements include a $100 million grant for displaced people in Cox’s Bazar camps, a $25.44 million grant for solar-powered pumps in irrigation, and a $225 million loan for improving secondary education quality and relevance. Parkash mentioned that the grant for Cox’s Bazar was approved quickly after a request from Bangladesh in May 2018. He also stated that the secondary education project will support the government’s reform efforts to prepare youths for the growing economy, while the solar-power project will help enhance energy security, reduce pollution, and address climate change. The ADB has allocated a $100 million grant to assist displaced individuals residing in camps in Cox's Bazar, with a focus on improving water supply and sanitation, disaster risk management, energy, and roads. The project will improve roads within the camps to connect food distribution and storage centers, as well as provide emergency access. Additionally, the project will upgrade the road from Cox's Bazar to Teknaf and other crucial sections. With $25.44 million in funding, the project will install 2,000 off-grid solar photovoltaic pumping systems in areas without electricity access, generating an estimated 19.3 megawatts-peak of solar capacity. By replacing diesel pumping systems with solar pumps, the project aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 17,261 tons annually. The secondary education project, set to finish in 2023, is aiding the government's comprehensive secondary education development program with the support of development partners. The government plans to increase the number of secondary school students by 3.5 million by 2023, which will necessitate 145,000 more teachers and 10,000 additional schools. The $225 million ADB aid will help create a competency-based curriculum, encourage the use of ICT in teaching, and enhance classroom assessment.
