The Asian Development Bank (ADB) will provide US$250 million as a policy-based loan to further improve the social protection system in Bangladesh, thereby supporting the vulnerable population against socioeconomic challenges. According to the ADB, the loan is the second sub-programme of the Strengthening Social Resilience Program (SSRP) approved in 2021, which helped implement institutional and policy reforms that strengthened the inclusiveness and responsiveness of social protection in Bangladesh. The reforms will help Bangladesh bring at least 80 per cent of social protection programmes with cash-based benefits under a standardised and integrated management system with connection to the G2P platform by June 2023. As of 2021, ADB’s cumulative assistance to Bangladesh since 1973 amounted to about $48 billion through loans, grants, and co financing, it said, mentioning that the ADB’s active portfolio in the country stood at around $11 billion with 50 projects as of April 2022.
