In 2010, Bangladesh was the first Feed the Future focus country to be officially launched by former U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Administrator Raj Shah. It has since grown to be one of the largest Feed the Future investments with a total U.S. government commitment in excess of $300 million. Bangladesh is often touted as a model for other countries to follow, in terms of both government leadership and program impacts. How can its experiences tackling the root causes of hunger, malnutrition, and poverty inform Feed the Future’s strategy going forward?
