US-UK program awards Fellowship to 23 young political leaders of Bangladesh

On October 31, 2021, the joint US-UK Strengthening Political Landscape project, implemented by Democracy International (DI), awarded certificates to 23 young political leaders from across Bangladesh at a Young Leaders Fellowship Program (YLFP) graduation ceremony in Dhaka. The graduates are affiliated with Bangladesh Awami League (AL), Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), and Jatiyo Party (JP).

The graduating fellows completed a four-month training on different aspects of political leadership, democratic processes, and tolerance. They also implemented joint field assignments solving community issues and demonstrating cross-party cooperation. This is the 15th class of young leaders graduating from the YLFP, made possible through support from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office, and implemented by DI. With the inclusion of these 23 young leaders, 374 fellows matriculated through the program.

At the graduation ceremony AL's Central Office Secretary, Barrister Biplab Barua, BNP's Central Organizing Secretary, Emran Saleh Prince, JP's Central Joint Secretary, Golam Mohammad Raju, USAID Deputy Mission Director in Bangladesh, Randy Ali, and DI's Chief of Party, Dana L. Olds, handed over certificates to the fellows. The leaders voiced their sincere support for empowering youth leadership in parties to build a more inclusive political landscape in Bangladesh.

In her opening remarks, Dana L. Olds said, "During the fellowship program you forged relationships across parties and worked together to address the citizens' priority concerns, and in the process learned that while you are competitors, you are not enemies."
