Feasibility study for the proposed project from July 2025 until December 2028
of NETZ and its partner organisations in Bangladesh

NETZ Partnership for Development and Justice (short: NETZ) is a non-governmental charitable organisation registered in Germany and Bangladesh. Since its inception in 1989, NETZ, in cooperation with its local partners, has been advocating for the self-determination of the people of Bangladesh in areas such as climate-resilient livelihoods, inclusive quality education and equal human rights. The organisation places a specific emphasis on promoting and protecting the rights of marginalised groups while addressing the structural causes of poverty and injustice.

Based on the experiences of NETZ and its partner NGOs in Bangladesh as well as of the NETZ strategy 2023-2030, it is aimed to design a new project that will contribute to promoting and protecting the rights of marginalised women, religious minorities and indigenous groups. Main components of the planned project are a) supporting inclusive local civil society organisations and initiatives; b) strengthening young people as agents of change at local high schools; c) promoting dialogue and joint actions between civil society actors and representatives of public authorities from union to district level; d) promoting conflict-sensitivity and non-violent approaches. It is intended to implement the project in rural areas of Western Bangladesh and in the capital Dhaka.

To establish a sound basis for the conceptual development of the above-mentioned planned project, a feasibility study shall be conducted by an independent consultant. The study shall assess the feasibility of the project intervention by analysing whether it is well founded and meets the demands of the target groups and takes all possible opportunities and risks into account. At the same time, it shall assess the planned project’s relevance, coherence, efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability (OECD DAC criteria). The primary users and beneficiaries of the results of the feasibility study are the local implementing partner organisations and NETZ for improvement of the planned project intervention. Furthermore, the feasibility study report will be handed in to the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) along with the project proposal.
