Highlights
The assessment report on the coverage of basic social services in the areas of health, education, nutrition, child protection, HIV/AIDS awareness, improved drinking water supply, sanitation and hygiene in Bangladesh. This report represents an important contribution to knowledge; having the potential to achieve twin objectives, in line with the equity approach that is being proposed in the Sustainable Development Goals. First, it represents a shift of paradigm, in which the performance of social services is not measured by the amount of services that are reaching the community, but rather by the capacity/willingness of communities in availing the services that are being delivered. Second, initiating policy dialogue helping to reform and refocus relevant policies and programs, towards a more equitable access and utilization of basic social services in Bangladesh.
