UNDP project continues to promote sustainable dev in CHT

BSS, Dhaka :
The programme for ‘Promotion of Development and Confidence Building in the Chittagong Hill Tracts’, implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in partnership with the Bangladesh Government, has been extended by one year until September 2016, reports UNB.
UNDP Bangladesh said it will continue to promote and advocate for sustainable development in CHT, engaging with key stakeholders at national, regional, and local levels. The one-year no-cost extension was formally approved by the Bangladesh Planning Commission earlier this month in close coordination with the Ministry of Chittagong Hill Tract Affairs and the Economic Relations Division.
As a result of this approval, the Chittagong Hill Tracts Development Facility (CHTDF) will continue to deliver the same objectives and agreed upon activities in the next 12 months with funding from USAID, Denmark and Sweden, said a press release on Wednesday.
