This thematic volume of IRBD 2005-06 has identified fourteen strategic issues which are likely to have important medium-term implications on how Bangladesh develops over the coming years. These include pro-poor economic growth, agricultural diversification, biotechnology, industrial policy, SMEs, ICT, trade policy, manpower export, monetary policy, education, health, environment, and women and labour market. The fourteen chapters in this volume take an in-depth look into these areas, and present insights and analyses to meet the challenges that await Bangladesh in her journey towards a future with high growth and distributive justice. Thus, the IRBD 2005-06 can be seen as a forward-looking strategic document that could serve Bangladesh’s policymakers and development practitioners in the years to come.
