Bangladesh is the world’s most densely populated country and 40 percent of its population lives in poverty. Many lack basic services such as access to clean water, electricity and sewage systems. At the community level, local governments lack the capacity, transparency and resources to adequately respond to the needs of their people. Compounding the problem, many citizens are uninformed about their civic rights and how they can make their voices heard. Civil society organizations have helped improve citizen engagement at the national level, but local communities remain disenfranchised. As one of the solutions Bangladesh government has taken up the Youth leadership development program for the energetic youth of this country . The program provided training to local leaders and youth to help them identify and resolve the greatest challenges facing their communities. Leaders were supported in developing action plans for their community development projects, with competitive funding to support project implementation.
