Abstract

This 8th Five Year Plan represents the first phase of the country's Perspective Plan 2041 (PP2041), which aims to  bring Bangladesh closer to the goals of attaining Upper Middle-Income Country (UMIC) status, attaining major Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets, and eliminating extreme poverty by FY2031. 

In the backdrop of these factors, the 8th Plan centres on six core themes:
  1. Rapid recovery for COVID-19 to restore human health, confidence, employment, income and economic activities;
  2. GDP growth acceleration, employment generation, productivity acceleration and rapid poverty reduction;
  3. A broad-based strategy of inclusiveness with a view to empowering every citizen to participate fully and benefit from the development process and helping the poor and vulnerable with social protection- based income transfers;
  4. A sustainable development pathway that is resilient to disaster and climate change; entails sustainable use of natural resources; and successfully manages the inevitable urbanization transition;
  5. Development and improvement of critical institutions necessary to lead the economy to UMIC status;
  6. Attaining SDG targets and coping up the impact of Least Developed Country (LDC) graduation.

The Plan itself is divided into two main parts:

  1. Macroeconomic perspective: strategic directions and policy framework
  2. Sector development strategies

References to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) can be found in Part 2, in the following sections:

  • Chapter 4: Strategies for Agriculture and Water Resource Management
  • Sector 7. Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives
  • Sector 9: Housing and Community Amenities, and
  • Sector 10: Health, population and Nutrition
