Research Expert @Undp

Dhaka, BD

As the International Expert Volunteer Programme Research Expert with UNDP Bangladesh, I engage in trade and investment policy research to contribute to economic development progress. I research emerging issues and analyze findings to formulate concrete policy recommendations. My research is aligned with the strategic goals of the Ministry of Commerce (MoC) and the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA), identifying priority economic challenges and opportunities of critical importance for policymakers.I conduct in-depth data analytics surrounding Bangladesh\'s trade and investment space through qualitative and quantitative research to apprise policymakers of the investment environment. Understanding global and national economic trends, regulations, and international best practices is an important part of my work, which allows me to produce well-informed briefing notes, write-ups, and reports on economic issues that reflect the complicated realities of the national economic environment. My work also focuses on gender-sensitive trade policies post-LDC graduation and technology adoption for improving export competitiveness in Bangladesh, empowering inclusive economic growth.I am also responsible for supporting the commissioning of high-quality studies by individual consultants and consulting firms. This includes finalizing terms of reference, reviewing work plans and other reporting materials, and working with stakeholders to ensure the studies meet high standards and provide useful insights.Outside of research, I establish partnerships and promote policy dialogue and research dissemination through consultation meetings, workshops, and dialogues. I provide policy advocacy, participating in drafting policy briefs and engaging in public discussions on trade and investment policy. Working with stakeholders helps me implement relevant and inclusive policy-making by gathering their needs and incorporating them into potential interventions.
