grant Background
About the Funding Agency
The Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation, or Norad, is a government agency in Norway. It operates under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The agency helps manage Norway's foreign aid and works to reduce global poverty.
Norad focuses on important global issues like sustainable development, health, education, and climate change. It gives funding and support to local and international partner organizations. These groups carry out projects that improve living conditions in developing countries.
The agency also checks how well these aid programs work. It tests the results to see if the money helps people as planned. Norad shares these reports openly so the public can see the impact of Norway's aid.

Bangladesh
Bangladesh has undertaken extensive infrastructure expansion - including bridges, metro systems, ports and power plants - to sustain rapid industrial and export-led growth. Improved logistics and electricity access have strengthened manufacturing competitiveness, particularly in garments. Large-scale public investment and external financing have underpinned this transformation. Strengthening financial governance, climate resilience and urban infrastructure management will be critical for continued progress.

India
India has been expanding transport (roads, railways, ports), energy (renewables and grid modernisation) and digital infrastructure to support rapid urbanisation, industrial growth and integration into global value chains. Through flagship initiatives such as the National Infrastructure Pipeline and PM Gati Shakti Master Plan, the government aims to reduce logistics costs, boost manufacturing competitiveness, and improve connectivity across regions. Public capital expenditure has risen sharply, with increased emphasis on public–private partnerships and climate-aligned investments, while mobilising financing through innovative funds and investor incentives. Key challenges include managing fiscal sustainability, improving project implementation efficiency and reinforcing institutional governance to attract long-term private capital at scale.
