About the Sub-Group

The Local Consultative Group (LCG) is the coordination body of donors in Bangladesh contributing to the overall development of the country. Under the main LCG, there exist different sub groups of donors in Bangladesh providing support in specific thematic / development areas. The Local Consultative Sub Group on Education (ELCG) is the sub group providing support for education in Bangladesh.

The ELCG started during the 1990s through the initiation of the General Education Project (1990-1996) to provide a forum for donors supporting education in Bangladesh and the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) to meet, discuss, and work together to develop policies and strategies for education, find ways to resolve problems mutually, and for better coordination and coherence between GOB and donors, and among donors themselves. However, GoB participation was limited during this time as the ELCG was yet to be recognized by the GoB as a formal forum for development dialogue. The active participation of other stakeholders in the ELCG is a more recent phenomenon. The inclusion of NGOs began after 1998.
