Foreign aid to Bangladesh has fluctuated in recent years, with $390 million expected from 2016-2018. However, donor agencies have been inefficient in disbursing allocated funds, with $750 million, $1000 million, and $450 million from 2011-2015 remaining unspent. This inefficiency led agencies to cease new commitments after 2015. Agricultural funding has grown substantially, from $5.8 million in 2011 to over $157 million in 2014. However, loans have comprised a small portion of total development assistance, with grants making up 78% of funds in 2013-2014. The document argues for increasing loans from agencies like the ADB, DFID, and USAID to support Bangladesh's development goals.
