The government is set to develop a halal ecosystem with an eye to further improving halal food products in Bangladesh, according to sources.

To this end, the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) is planning a diagnostic mission in Bangladesh for the development of the IsDB Reverse Linkage project to develop a halal ecosystem.

This project involves Serunai Commerce Sdn Bhd (Serunai) from Malaysia as the provider of knowledge and expertise, and the Islamic Foundation Bangladesh under the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

During the proposed visit from 07-15 December, the members of the mission will sit with the stakeholders concerned to discuss the moot point.

The mission aims to prepare the Reverse Linkage project to enhance the human and institutional capacity of the Islamic Foundation in developing the ecosystem.

It will focus on conducting a contextual analysis to understand multiple influences and critical success factors to make things happen.

Besides, it will ascertain capacity strengths and design a relevant capacity development plan in addition to building mutual trust to implement it.
