The Government of Bangladesh was
contemplating the establishment of an economic zone in the district of Noakhali
(Chor Shuborno, Chor Jobbar, and Hatiya upazillas) in South-East Bangladesh,
based on a public-private partnership arrangement. As requested by the GoB,
IFC- BICF contracted Young Consultants to conduct a detailed site evaluation of
the area. Young Consultants aimed at providing crucial information, which was
necessary for determining the parameters of the pre-feasibility study of the
proposed SEZ in Noakhali.
