Provenance & notes
Australia delivers grant-based ODA to Bangladesh via DFAT. Focus on inclusive growth (education, gender equality, skills, social protection) and Rohingya humanitarian response. annual_disbursement_usd left null: search snippets reported conflicting 2025-26 figures (e.g. 106.9 / 110.3 / 121.5 million AUD) and the primary DFAT budget summary and Bangladesh factsheet PDFs repeatedly timed out, so no single figure could be verified against a primary source. recent_activity null: no single dated event confirmed against a primary source within the window.
