The US Department of Commerce's Commercial Law Development Program (CLDP) conducted a workshop on municipal organisation, planning, and green initiatives in collaboration with Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) and the US Embassy in Dhaka during July 24-26.
CLDP municipal experts covered topics such as green procurement, identification of capital projects, and key legal issues that will help DNCC strategically design, review, and implement important infrastructure projects to mitigate air and water pollution.
DNCC Mayor Md Atiqul Islam, DNCC CEO Md Selim Reza and CLDP Deputy Chief Counsel Joe Yang provided opening remarks.
As part of the long-term partnership, DNCC, CLDP, and the US Embassy in Dhaka are planning more workshops, consultations, and municipal exchanges that will take place in Bangladesh, the US, and the Indo-Pacific.
Created in 1992, CLDP provides technical assistance in the commercial law arena to the governments and private sectors of developing countries in support of their economic development goals.
The assistance consists of long-term training and consultative partnerships with government officials, lawmakers, regulators, judges, lawyers, educators, and other stakeholders.
