The only English financial daily in Bangladesh, the FE began its journey on November 10, 1993.

FE believes media can help bring about changes - by promoting and facilitating two-way information flows fairly and objectively.

The organization has no registered commitments.

allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
