O que funciona em Bangladesh

Bangladesh has pioneered several large-scale programmes to expand opportunity and service access in rural areas. FSSAP's conditional stipend scheme reduced girls' dropout from 14.7% to 3.5% and raised girls' secondary enrolment share from 30% to 48%, while the Grameen Village Phone programme financed 278,570 women operators to provide telecommunications access across 34 zones by 2006. Bangladesh's Union Digital Centres network has expanded furthest, delivering 150+ e-services to 76.8 million people through 5,000+ community centres, cutting service time by 85% and costs by 63%. These practices demonstrate measurable scale and efficiency gains, though the evidence is primarily observational rather than from randomized trials.
