<p>The UK is providing £542,703 through the Department for International Development
(DFID) to a coalition of 23 Bangladeshi civil society organisations (Election Working
Group) to observe the upcoming general election in Bangladesh. The grant is managed
by The Asia Foundation and observers are all drawn from organisations with considerable
experience in observing elections in Bangladesh. Combined with complementary support
from USAID and the Swiss Development Cooperation, we will cover all constituencies
and will deploy both short and long term observers.</p>
