Since its inception, The Bangladesh Municipal Association-MAB has been playing a cooperative role in the development of municipalities in Bangladesh at the national policy-making level. MAB is always working to strengthen the local government system in Bangladesh, improve the quality of citizen services, etc. Not only at the local level, but also in the international arena, MAB’s identity and activities have spread, as a result of which various international organizations are working in partnership with MAB to implement various projects related to improving the quality of citizen service in the country. I hope MAB will be able to make a stronger contribution to the implementation of various development plans of the government, increase the capacity of the municipality and strengthen the local government system in the future.
