The World Bank has granted $210 million for the “Bangladesh Enhancing Investments and Benefits for Early Years (BEIBEY)” project, aimed at enhancing early childhood development in Bangladesh. This initiative will offer cash transfers and counseling services to improve nutrition for 1.7 million pregnant women and mothers of children under four in vulnerable households. Abdoulaye Seck, Country Director of World Bank Bangladesh and Bhutan, emphasized that proper nutrition in the first 1,000 days of life and responsive caregiving can significantly enhance a child’s development. Aneeka Rahman, the project’s team leader, noted that investing in a child’s early years can lead to substantial benefits for the entire nation. The project is financed by the World Bank’s International Development Association.
