External Relations & Institutional Development

ICDDR,B primarily relies on financial support from the development partners. The tasks of identifying new sources of funds for new initiatives and maintaining levels of support for continuing programmes are largely the responsibility of the External Relations and Institutional Development (ER&ID) Office.

The ER&ID Office maintains effective liaison with the development partners, Government of Bangladesh (GoB), non-government organizations (NGOs), press, and other media. The Office is orchestrated for increased communication with the donors, GoB, NGOs, business community, and different institutions throughout the world to raise the profile of, and the funding for, the Centre and to address management issues that arise during the implementation and interpretation of agreements between the Centre and its development partners.
