The Green Climate Fund (GCF) regional team has successfully completed its mission in Bangladesh to review the Climate Resilient Infrastructure Mainstreaming (CRIM) project and the Climate Resilient Local Infrastructure Center (CReLIC) implemented by the Local Government Engineering Department (LGED). The mission took place from June 6 to 12, 2026, and included meetings with representatives from various ministries, departments, and agencies of the Government of Bangladesh. The team also held discussions with the Satkhira district administration and visited project sites.

Led by GCF Regional Manager Ms. Diane Jegam and Climate Investment Principal Dr. Bapon Fakhruddin, the delegation discussed climate finance, investment opportunities, new project development, pipeline expansion, and future cooperation. During field visits on June 9 and 10, the team observed climate adaptation activities, livelihood improvement initiatives, and disaster-resilient infrastructure in coastal areas.

Officials noted that the CRIM project is playing a vital role in improving living standards and enhancing disaster resilience in climate-vulnerable coastal regions. The GCF mission is expected to support the expansion of future climate finance and development cooperation.
