THE MISSION

INTIMATE emerged as an Institute with the mission "to harness and develop human capacities to capital" in the backdrop of Bangladesh's stride to help improve the lot of over 140 million people living within her geographical territory comprising hardly 147,570 square kilometers. Owing to disproportionately density of population, known as highest in the world, quite often Bangladesh is rightly said to be grossly over populated.

An insight into her socio-economic development trend will, however, reveal it is not the over population which most superfluous studies tend to project as her number one problem. It is the absence of appropriate planning to develop her human population which is actually impeding her economic prosperity.

In spite of frequent natural calamities, absence of enabling environment and inadequacy of infrastructural facilities Bangladesh has achieved the GDP growth rate close to 7% in the recent years. This can be largely attributed to commendable role of the private sector.

The enterprising private sector needs and rightly deserves to be supported in its consistent capacity-building endeavors so that it can contribute more constructively and effectively towards Bangladesh's transition from a least developed to a developing country by the year 2020.
