Event Summary

Muhammad Yunus, Nobel laureate and former chief adviser to Bangladesh's interim government, has returned to his non-profit work at the Yunus Centre after an 18-month tenure. He led the interim administration following a mass student-led uprising in August 2024 that overthrew the Bangladesh===Awami League government led by Sheikh Hasina. Yunus handed over power after national elections on February 12, which saw the Bangladesh===Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) win. He met with managing directors and advisers from Grameen organizations and the Yunus Centre to review initiatives and outline future plans, including his 'Three Zero' initiative. Yunus is also scheduled to travel to Japan in March at the invitation of the Sasakawa Peace Foundation. This transition marks a significant moment for Bangladesh as it moves from an interim government to a newly elected one, with Muhammad Yunus resuming his global advocacy for poverty alleviation and social business.
