The EU-backed initiative will strengthen Bangladesh’s migration governance through improved institutional capacity, coordination, data systems and support services for migrants and returnees.
Bangladesh has launched a National Action Plan for 2026-2030 to implement the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, the European Union said.
The EU welcomed the launch of the plan, which was developed with support from the EU-funded PROTTASHA II project, implemented by the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
Through the project, the EU has supported the development of the Action Plan and continues to strengthen institutional capacity, coordination, migration data systems and services for migrants and returnees.
“Turning commitments into accessible and effective services is essential to make migration safer, more orderly and more beneficial for migrants, their families and Bangladesh,” said Ms Baiba Zarina, Chargé d’Affaires a.i. of the European Union Delegation to Bangladesh.
The EU said it remains committed to supporting Bangladesh in translating its commitments under the Global Compact for Migration into practical and sustainable results.
The National Action Plan covers the 2026-2030 period and is intended to advance the implementation of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration in Bangladesh.
