LEED has effectively concluded a research project in collaboration with the Bangladesh Working Group on External Debt (BWGED) and the Coastal Livelihood and Environment Action Network (CLEAN). The project involved consolidating various policies and regulations from existing energy laws in Bangladesh. LEED Team Members summarized and presented these rules and guidelines in a clear and accessible manner for the general public.
