"The WB offers Bangladesh the same policy prescription which they had proposed to Nigeria or Sierra Leon without considering it may not be suitable for

Bangladesh's ground realities," he said after a meeting with the Resident Representative of UNDP Renata Lok Dessallien at his secretariat office.

Talking to newsmen, the minister suggested the policy prescription should be given based on condition of financial institutions, regulatory bodies and other economical components of a particular country or region.

Saifur, however, appreciated the UNDP projects which he termed 'development friendly' for Bangladesh.

During the meeting, the UNDP envoy assured the government of continuing its development support to Bangladesh in various sectors including the human development.

Lauding various development achievements of Bangladesh, the new UNDP envoy told reporters there were still some other challenges the government has to face.

"Bangladesh has very good track record in terms of human development and economy but as a developing country its next challenge should be more development," Dessallien said.

She, however, identified some sectors like sanitation, education, family planning, health and nutrition, where Bangladesh need to achieve development faster.
