The agreements were signed at the Economic Relations Division in Dhaka on Thursday by Kazi Shofiqul Azam, secretary of ERD, and Manmohan Parkash, country director of ADB. The agreements include a $100 million grant to support displaced people in Cox’s Bazar camps, a $25.44 million grant for solar-powered pumps in irrigation, and a $225 million loan to improve secondary education quality and relevance. Parkash mentioned that the grant for Cox’s Bazar was processed quickly in response to a request from Bangladesh in May 2018, while the secondary education project will support the government's reform efforts. He also highlighted the benefits of the solar-powered irrigation project in terms of energy security, environmental protection, and climate change mitigation. The ADB has allocated $100 million for a grant project to assist displaced individuals living in camps in Cox's Bazar, with a focus on improving water supply, sanitation, disaster risk management, energy, and roads. The project will upgrade roads within the camps to connect crucial food distribution and storage centers, as well as enable emergency access. Additionally, it will improve the road from Cox's Bazar to Teknaf and other key areas. A portion of the funding, $25.44 million, will be used to install around 2,000 off-grid solar photovoltaic pumping systems in areas lacking electricity access, generating an estimated 19.3 megawatts of solar capacity. The project aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 17,261 tons annually by replacing diesel pumping systems with off-grid solar photovoltaic pumps. The secondary education project, set to finish in 2023, is aiding the government's extensive secondary education development program with the help of development partners. The government aims to have around 3.5 million more secondary school students by 2023, which will necessitate 145,000 more teachers and 10,000 additional schools. The $225 million ADB aid will assist in creating a competency-based curriculum, encouraging the use of ICT in teaching, and enhancing classroom assessment techniques.
