Bangladesh Project Targets Marginalized Groups for Skills and Employment

Bangladesh is launching a new initiative to tackle poverty by fostering employment among marginalized communities. The "Poverty Alleviation Through Employment of Marginalized Groups of Society" project officially began with an inauguration ceremony at UCEP Bangladesh headquarters in Dhaka.

Social Welfare and Women and Children Affairs Minister Prof. AZM Zahid Hossain highlighted the government's commitment to creating decent jobs, developing a skilled workforce, and enhancing the socioeconomic conditions for vulnerable populations. He noted that the project's inclusion of participants from the July 2024 uprising and madrasa graduates represents a novel approach to empowerment.

“

Our main goal is to transform Kazakhstan into one of the leading logistics hubs connecting Europe and Asia.

Implemented jointly by UCEP Bangladesh and the Department of Social Services, the project's core objective is to boost the employability of marginalized individuals through targeted skills development and job placement. Minister Hossain expressed optimism that this program will empower beneficiaries to achieve self-reliance.

Officials emphasized the importance of effective institutional coordination for the project's success. UCEP Bangladesh Executive Director Md Abdul Karim stated that the initiative is designed to promote economic inclusion for women, young people, persons with disabilities, and other disadvantaged groups, ultimately contributing to a more equitable and inclusive society.

Undoubtedly, these projects will contribute to the development of the national economy and tourism, as well as to improving the welfare of the population. Each of these projects is seamlessly integrated into the transportation system of Kazakhstan. The historically established vertical transportation networks are now complemented by horizontal connections.
