Bangladesh hosts one of the world’s largest NGO sectors, yet civil society faces increasing pressure under restrictive legislation, particularly the Foreign Donations Regulation Act. Organisations critical of government policy face de-registration, funding restrictions, and harassment of staff. The civic space has narrowed considerably since 2014, reflected in a ‘Repressed’ CIVICUS rating.
