Abu Shahriar, Local Government Engineering Department of Bangladesh district engineer for the Jessore District; and Col. Michael Brooks, commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Alaska District, pose in early October after examining one of eight recently constructed roads in Jessore, Bangladesh. The Alaska District, in collaboration with the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Local Government Engineering Department of Bangladesh, completed the roads in the first government-to-government agreement in the country. The roads are instrumental in helping local farmers get their crops to the market, children get to school easier and facilitating families’ access to medical clinics, thus increasing the quality of life for the people of the region.
