- About Local Consultative Group (LCG)
A Model for Global Development Inspiring Collaboration Worldwide
The Local Consultative Group or LCG functions as the main forum for development coordination and policy dialogue between the Government and Development Partners in Bangladesh. Based on internationally agreed various principles Bangladesh formed the Local Consultative Group (LCG) in 1997 with an aim to ensure development effectiveness in Bangladesh. LCG supports development coordination under a national development plan, focused on results, and promoting principles of partnership, transparency and mutual accountability.

Linkage between Local Consultative Group and Global Commitment
Bangladesh is committed to the Paris Declaration, Busan Partnership Agreement, and GPEDC, which form its aid effectiveness framework. The High-Level Forums in Rome (2003), Paris (2005), Accra (2008), and Busan (2011) shifted the focus to development effectiveness, leading to GPEDC’s creation in 2012. Bangladesh is working through the Local Consultative Group (LCG) to implement these commitments domestically.
