A stakeholder consultation workshop on the Ethnic Survey 2026 was held today at the conference room of the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) in Dhaka. The workshop aimed to collect opinions and recommendations from relevant stakeholders for conducting the nationwide survey.

Importance of the Survey

The workshop was organized under the project titled 'Survey on Socio-Economic Status and Poverty Situation of Ethnic Minorities 2025,' implemented by the BBS. Participants stressed the importance of the nationwide Ethnic Survey 2026, stating that reliable and comprehensive data generated by BBS would significantly contribute to formulating appropriate development plans for ethnic minority communities.

Challenges and Collaboration

The survey is designed as a special, standalone full-count survey to collect comprehensive information on the socio-economic conditions and various indicators of ethnic minority communities across the country. A full-count field survey using a short questionnaire is scheduled to be conducted in August 2026. Participants noted that collecting data from ethnic minority communities involves several challenges and stressed the need for cooperation from local administrations and other relevant stakeholders. They emphasized that the data generated through the special survey would help policymakers and government and non-government organizations ensure better targeting and smoother delivery of social protection programmes and services to members of ethnic minority communities.
