S04 EP01 | A window of opportunity for humanitarians in Bangladesh

The January 2024 elections in Bangladesh saw the Awami League win a fifth term, amid an opposition boycott. Following protests, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned in August 2024, creating a period of political, economic and security uncertainty under an interim government.  

In a special episode of I Think You’re On Mute, in partnership with the UK Humanitarian Innovation Hub, we explore key research insights from our recent report: A Window of Opportunity: Priorities for Humanitarian System Reform in Bangladesh. 

Host Beth Eggleston is joined by Dr. Ehsanur Rahman and Farah Kabir to discuss how the humanitarian system can better address the challenges and opportunities emerging from Bangladesh’s shifting political landscape, offering humanitarians a unique window of opportunity.
