The executive director of the BBC World Service Trust, Caroline Nursey, arrived in Bangladesh on Monday.
During a three-day visit, she would meet with a number of individuals and partner organisations, said a press release.
The BBC World Service Trust has been working in Bangladesh since 2005. It first launched Bangladesh Sanglap, a ground-breaking political debate series made in partnership with the BBC Bangla Service.
In 2009, as part of English in Action, the organisation launched BBC Janala, a multi-platform English learning service, using traditional and new media platforms – mobile, internet, print and electronic media.
During the trip, Caroline Nursey would meet the partner organisations who have been integral to the success of BBC Janala, which has so far reached over 26 million people across the country, according to the release.
The trust was looking for new opportunities to support the development and progress of Bangladesh, particularly in health, education and climate change, the release said.
Caroline Nursey joined the BBC World Service Trust in 2009. Earlier, she worked in Oxfam and the World University Service.
