Grant Description

In 2017, China announced plans to assist with the construction of a technical institute in Bangladesh.

China sent advisers to provide technical support in order to establish the institute, but it is unclear which Chinese entity sent them.

The technical institute, with special focus on power engineering courses, will be set up under the supervision of Bangladesh China Institute of Technology (BCIT) and Lanzhou Jiaotong University of China. Loan applications and disbursements are still being received and processed as the projects continue to evolve.

Ongoing monitoring and evaluation are in place to ensure project continuity.
