The French Development Agency (AFD) will provide €330 million to implement development projects in Bangladesh. Both sides have signed three agreements in this regard. AFD will provide €200 million for budget support due to the pandemic and €130 million for the Dhaka Environmentally Sustainable Water Supply Project, which is already under implementation.
With the new amount, AFD’s total support to Bangladesh exceeds €1 billion as it earlier provided €800 million, economic relations division secretary Fatima Yasmin told journalists in Dhaka.
