Donors meet Tuesday to design development schemes in Bangladesh

Government officials, academics and civil society representatives will meet here Tuesday to launch a new project aimed at better understanding the long-term effects of anti-poverty interventions in the country. The project, "What Development Interventions Work? The Long-Term Impact and Cost Effectiveness of Anti-Poverty Interventions in Bangladesh,' will focus on the long-term impact of three interventions-microfinance, new agricultural technologies, and food/cash transfers for education-on the livelihoods of poor people.
