Development assistance in Bangladesh
Overview
Australia moved quickly to support Bangladesh’s emergency health response to COVID-19, providing medical equipment, hygiene and community awareness services, training, emergency food and income to vulnerable people across Bangladesh.
We continue to support Bangladesh’s health security through Australian NGOs, our regional Water for Women program, and global contributions to the World Health Organization, GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance, and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
In the Cox’s Bazar District, Australia is responding to emergency health and humanitarian needs through our Rohingya and Host Communities Humanitarian Package.
