Institutional Capacity Building Programs for BOI and BEPZA

Objectives:

MSL assisted Bangladesh Export Processing Zone Authority (BEPZA) in streamlining BEPZA’s administrative process for investment promotion. It also supported BEPZA for IT management for the improvement of the process. MSL assessed the role of information technology and automation for accomplishing the streamlining, including company applications for EPZ status (e.g., on-line application, on-line investor tracking of approval status, and issuance of electronic approvals), company registering, licensing and obtaining permits and resident visas, approval of construction plans, creating a one-stop window for all activities, investor after-care, and automated investor requests of all kinds. A report was submitted for the implementation.
