Bangladesh. Bangladesh developed and adopted the first National Energy Policy in 1995 and updated the policy in 2005. As mentioned in the NEP document of 1995, one of the objectives of the policy is “to ensure environmentally sound sustainable energy development programmes, with due importance to renewable energy, causing minimum damage to environment”. The Power Cell which was then responsible for RE & EE development in the country drafted Renewable Energy Policy for approval of GoB. The REP was approved by the GoB in 2008 and SEDA is setup under the policy. The excerpts from 2008 REP – “To promote solar water heaters, use of electricity and gas for water heating will be discouraged. In this regard necessary steps will be considered accordingly”. The fiscal incentives proposed under the REP for promotion of SWH systems along with other RETs are discussed in sub-section 8.1.1.
Bangladesh. Bangladesh is the eighth most populous country in the world and third most populous country in South Asia. 63% of its total population lives in the rural areas. (World Bank, 2018a). The country is significantly affected by the health workforce crisis. The most skilled health care professionals (HCPs) like physicians are concentrated in the urban regions (major cities like Dhaka), while less skilled HCPs are more inclined towards rural areas. In rural parts of the country, there are only 1.1 physicians in rural regions per 10,000 population whereas the number surges to 18.2 per 10,000 population in the urban areas. 35% of the total physicians in Bangladesh are serving in the four major cities of the country (Dhaka, Chittagong, Rajshahi, and Khulna), while 20% of the total workforce manages the health affairs of the rural population. (Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxxxxx, 2006). Furthermore, the Bangladesh Health Facility Survey of 2014 revealed that 62% of the sanctioned physicians’ posts are filled at district and subdistrict levels, which are mostly secondary care hospitals. However, at the union level, comprised mostly of PHCFs, occupancy rate of the sanctioned posts is less than 25%. (Xxxxxx, Xxxxx, Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, & Xxxxxx, 2017). Xxxxxx et al. observed that besides the general problems related to physician retention in rural areas like financial incentives, accommodation, career development etc., there is a need to analyze and revise government’s rural health policy to deal with all the outstanding issues related to rural retention. This includes fair and transparent promotion system for rural physicians, enhancing local manager authorities to reduce workers absenteeism and introduction of a specific rural physician retention policy at national level. (Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, & Xxxxxxxxx, 2015).

Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, the effectiveness of MtMSGs was also studied in rural communities. While mother support groups focused on a number of IYCF practices in the study area, early initiation and exclusive breastfeeding were amongst the indicators measured. Mother participants were responsible for 18 groups (Azad, 2010). Again, differences in exclusive breastfeeding rates were seen between mother participants and non-participants in intervention communities, but no significant population-level changes were seen in exclusive breastfeeding and early initiation (Azad, 2010). Exclusive breastfeeding was defined as exclusively breastfeeding for six weeks (Azad, 2010). The study suggests several possible barriers of implementing support groups including, difficulty in retaining facilitators, gender-based barriers preventing women from joining the group, climate barriers which prevented facilitators from attending groups and lack of incentives in an area where NGO’s commonly provided incentives (Azad, 2010). While these barriers were hypothesized and the importance of understanding these barriers were noted in the study, it is clear that further research must be conducted to determine the specific barriers surrounding MtMSGs in Bangladesh in order to increase the effectiveness of the intervention.
