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 to support displaced people in Cox’s Bazar camps, a $25.44 million grant for solar-powered irrigation pumps, and a $225 million loan to improve secondary education quality and relevance. Parkash highlighted the quick approval process of the grant assistance project for Cox’s Bazar and emphasized the importance of the secondary education reform project in preparing youth for the economy. He also noted the benefits of the solar-powered irrigation project in enhancing energy security and mitigating climate change. The ADB's $100 million grant project aims to assist displaced individuals in Cox's Bazar camps by focusing on water supply, sanitation, disaster risk management, energy, and roads. This project will improve roads within the camps to connect food distribution and storage centers, as well as provide emergency access. Additionally, the project will resurface the road from Cox's Bazar to Teknaf and other critical sections. A funding of $25.44 million will support the installation of 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 off-grid solar photovoltaic pumps, the project is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 17,261 tons annually. The secondary education project, set to finish in 2023, is backing the government's comprehensive plan for secondary education development with the help of development partners. The government plans to have an extra 3.5 million secondary school students by 2023, which will mean needing 145,000 more teachers and 10,000 additional schools. The $225 million ADB support will focus on creating a competency-based curriculum, encouraging the use of ICT in teaching, and improving classroom assessment.
