With the vision of making Bangladesh economically productive, equitable and socially just, the Bangladesh Development Service Center (BDSC) is committed to improving the livelihoods of marginalized communities and fostering self-reliance. Since its establishment in 1978, BDSC has focused on uplifting disadvantaged groups, including women and marginalized communities, through a range of social development programs.
From its inception, BDSC has directly supported 65 local NGOs in areas such as capacity building, financial assistance, program sustainability, and organizational strengthening. During this period, BDSC played a key role in facilitating donor involvement.
BDSC operates across various regions of the country, working toward sustainable social development through balanced and comprehensive strategies. We believe that social development is essential to economic empowerment, particularly for those who are most disadvantaged. Our priority areas include education, healthcare, women’s empowerment, the inclusion of marginalized groups, institutional development, human rights, energy sector development, governance, livelihoods, agriculture, and human resource development—each contributing to the overall goals of the organization.
Following long-term, sustainable policies, BDSC implements its programs with a participatory approach. We strongly believe in the power of collective efforts to advance the development process in Bangladesh. To this end, we actively foster partnerships with national and international organizations, UN bodies, government agencies, and civil society groups.
With the continued support of our partners and the people we serve, BDSC is expanding its programs to reach more areas and beneficiaries, focusing on improving economic conditions, livelihoods, and the human rights of disadvantaged groups. We believe that our ongoing efforts will drive the development process forward and help eliminate poverty and improve the lives of marginalized communities across Bangladesh.\
