Message from the Chairperson

Since its inception in 1978, the Bangladesh Development Service Center (BDSC) has been committed to tackling poverty and promoting equality within society. Recognizing the importance of collective efforts in driving development, BDSC has focused on strengthening the capacity of service providers by offering both financial and technical support.

Over time, BDSC has expanded its programs to encompass a variety of sectors, including education, healthcare, and women’s empowerment, the inclusion of marginalized communities, institutional development, human rights promotion, energy sector development, governance, livelihood promotion, agricultural development, and human resource development. This wide-ranging approach has cemented BDSC’s reputation as a leading development agency in Bangladesh.

Funded by both local and international donors, BDSC continues to successfully implement these initiatives, all while working toward its ultimate vision of making the country economically productive, socially just, and improving the quality of life for all. Drawing on 30 years of experience in development, BDSC has achieved significant success in promoting sustainable development in the areas where it works, utilizing integrated and comprehensive interventions. As it strives to sustain its social development efforts, BDSC has expanded its operations across the country, earning widespread recognition from stakeholders, civil society, donors, and beneficiaries alike.

Through its diverse social development programs, BDSC has consistently delivered impressive results, as evidenced in this annual report. The organization is deeply committed to strengthening development partnerships both nationally and internationally, recognizing the importance of collaboration in driving forward progress.

Looking to the future, BDSC plans to further expand its reach, broadening its efforts in key areas of development to fulfill its long-term objectives. With a focus on rights-based, balanced societal development, BDSC continues to play a pivotal role in advancing national development goals.
