Bangladesh: Data Collection for an Empirical Study on the Socio-Economic Impacts of Infrastructure Projects

This tender concerns data collection for an empirical study on the socio-economic impacts of infrastructure projects in Bangladesh.

This study aims to gather robust data that will allow for a thorough analysis of how various infrastructure projects have affected local communities, economies, and the environment in Bangladesh. The data collection process will likely involve surveys, interviews, and the gathering of relevant statistical information from project sites and affected populations.
