Bangladesh has made notable progress in health and nutrition, achieving higher child immunization rates and significant reductions in malnutrition, communicable diseases, and maternal and infant mortality. The country aims to achieve universal health coverage by 2032 and meet the Sustainable Development Goals, but significant gaps remain, particularly in urban public health services. Rapid urbanization, with a 35% urban population increase between 2001 and 2011, has heightened health disparities, especially among the urban poor, who often fare worse on health, nutrition, and population (HNP) outcomes than their rural counterparts. Governance challenges, including fragmented responsibilities between the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives (MoLGRD&C), the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), and urban governments, further constrain effective public sector service delivery.Climate change poses additional risks, particularly in urban areas, with more frequent extreme heat waves contributing to rising health burdens. Heat-induced health issues, including infectious and chronic diseases, malnutrition, and mental health conditions, are becoming increasingly common, as evidenced by reports from the World Bank. To address these vulnerabilities, the World Bank has approved a $200 million project to strengthen urban primary healthcare and environmental health services. As part of this initiative, the World Bank HNP team in Dhaka is seeking a qualified firm to provide technical support to the Local Government Division (LGD) in developing a heat-health adaptation action plan for Bangladesh. This plan aims to build resilience against the adverse impacts of climate change and ensure sustainable health outcomes for urban populations.
