Recently, the iDE Innovation Lab visited Bangladesh to collaborate closely with iDE’s project teams to strengthen the application of Human-Centered Design (HCD) in implementation.

While iDE Bangladesh teams already bring a strong foundation in HCD, the engagement focused on translating these principles into consistent, day-to-day practice. Through hands-on sessions, teams explored real-world cases that reinforced the importance of listening to users and unpacked how HCD-driven prototyping has informed solutions across sectors such as f***l sludge management and clean cooking. The discussions further emphasized designing interventions that balance viability, desirability, feasibility, and sustainability.

The collaboration also included tailored coaching sessions where teams applied structured problem framing approaches to validate core challenges, refine target beneficiaries and partners, and assess whether ongoing interventions are aligned with user needs.

iDE Bangladesh continues to integrate these approaches across its work, strengthening how solutions are designed, tested, and delivered in collaboration with communities.

On 29th March, iDE Bangladesh, in collaboration with CARE Bangladesh organized a workshop titled "National Workshop on Renewable Energy: Bridging Macroeconomic Barriers and Field Implementation" under the NABAPALLAB Project. The workshop focused on identifying practical, scalable clean energy solutions for ecologically critical areas, such as the Sundarbans and Hakaluki Haor. Renewable energy access is one of the six key thematic areas of NABAPALLAB, a flagship initiative under the British Government’s Bangladesh Climate and Environment Programme and part of the Bangladesh–UK Accord on Climate Change, managed by a CARE-led consortium.

The event featured key insights from distinguished speakers, including renowned economist Dr. Hossain Zillur Rahman, who highlighted the structural and market challenges shaping Bangladesh’s renewable energy transition; Prof. M.A. Sattar Mandal, PhD; Mr. Nathaniel Smith, Team Leader for Climate and Environment at the British High Commission in Dhaka; Ms. Selina Shelley Khan, Chief of Party, NABAPALLAB, CARE, Mr. Sameer Karki, Country Director of iDE Bangladesh and private sector partners of the project.

The workshop concluded with a call for stronger cross-sector collaboration to unlock investment, strengthen local markets, and accelerate the country’s transition to a resilient and sustainable energy future.

On International Women’s Day 2026, the iDE's Transforming Lives Through Nutrition (TLTN) Project joined government institutions, local leaders, and communities across Bangladesh to celebrate the leadership, resilience, and rights of women and girls.

Through discussions and community events, stakeholders highlighted a shared commitment to women’s empowerment. The voices of Nutrition and Latrine Entrepreneurs from the TLTN project showed how supporting women with knowledge and opportunity helps build healthier families and stronger communities.

Aligned with this year’s theme “Give to Gain,” the celebrations reaffirm that when we invest in women today, everyone gains tomorrow.

From improving community health through safer sanitation, growing businesses like mushroom farming, transforming agriculture with vermicompost, to preserving traditions and creating climate-friendly solutions, women across Bangladesh are proving that empowerment ripples beyond themselves. With the right training, support, and determination, they earn, inspire, and open doors for others.

When women give their skills, knowledge, and courage, everyone gains.

Happy International Women’s Day 2026!

On International Mother Language Day, we honor the Language Martyrs of 21 February whose sacrifice in 1952 affirmed a fundamental truth: language is a right, not a privilege.

Last month, we brought our leadership team together in Sylhet for iDE Bangladesh’s Country Strategy Review & Finalization Workshop (2025–2030).
This went well beyond slides or technical language. It was a day of honest and sometimes difficult conversations about where we are falling short, what needs to change, and how the development landscape around us is shifting faster than many of our systems. We openly discussed gaps, trade-offs, and areas where we need to do better not just as an organization, but as leaders. The most important outcome wasn’t the strategy document itself, but a set of clear leadership commitments we agreed to collectively on how we will work differently, how we will prioritize, and how we will hold ourselves accountable over the rest of the year. We aligned on thematic priorities, practical milestones, and what “ready for implementation” really needs to mean in a more uncertain and complex operating environment.

What we’re most excited about is what comes next. Over the coming months, we’ll be translating these commitments into action, testing, learning, and refining as we go, so the strategy becomes something lived, not just written.

iDE's Clean Cooking Scale-Up (CCSU) Bangladesh project convened a high-level roundtable, “Scaling up Clean Cooking in Bangladesh: Pathways to Universal Access by 2030,” at The Business Standard, bringing together policymakers, private sector actors, financiers, and development partners. The dialogue explored critical barriers and untapped market opportunities for scaling electric cooking solutions in Bangladesh.

The CCSU programme aims to enable the uptake of 51,000 electric stoves, achieve an annual reduction of 1 lakh tonnes of CO₂, and expand economic opportunities for women and youth across the clean energy value chain. Through strategic engagement with manufacturers, financiers, and community-level entrepreneurs, CCSU is generating evidence for a scalable, inclusive, and market-based electric cooking model, aligned with Bangladesh’s ambition of 100% clean cooking access by 2030. As highlighted during the discussion, this roundtable represents a first step toward developing a jointly crafted national roadmap, calling for coordinated and transformative action across sectors.
