SUSTAINABLE ENTERPRISE PROJECT<\/strong> MACHINERY & ELECTRIC PROJECT:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

PKSF in collaboration with the World Bank designed a microenterprise development project<\/p>\n\n\n\n

titled \u201cSustainable Enterprise Project (SEP)\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • The goal of this project is to increase the adoption of environmentally sustainable practices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    by targeted microenterprises (MEs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • The proposed project will support microenterprises in agribusiness and manufacturing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Clusters with a focus on areas that are environmentally stressed and\/or vulnerable to climate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      change and natural disasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Machinery & Equipment is an important sub-sector of the overall manufacturing sectors<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      in Bangladesh and it is fueling the growth of many other industries in the country. Around<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      34 Light Engineering (LE) clusters are spread over 18 districts across the country. Its<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Market size stands at USD 12 billion, projected to grow to USD 25 billion by 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Local production meets only 50% of local demand, creating tremendous scope for<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      import substitution<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Due to the lack of modern machinery, skilled manpower, and proper access to finance,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        the MEs cannot maintain the proper quality of the product at a competitive market price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Thus a significant amount of machinery and equipment is imported, which exhausts a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        million dollars each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
