SCHEDULE YOUR VISIT

 
 

If you are planning to visit BRAC, the first step is to send us a completed Checklist Form. You can download the form here.

Things to keep in mind when making arrangements and filling out profile and logistics forms:

  • Please make sure you plan your visit between Sunday through Thursday since Friday and Saturday are weekends in Bangladesh. We recommend that you plan your arrival on the weekend if you would like to start a visit at the beginning of the week.
  • Field visits start early in the morning (6:30am-7:30am) since locations usually tend to be far away, and the heavy traffic can be avoided early in the day.
  • If you are able to plan in advance, we recommend visiting Bangladesh during the winter, since the weather is pleasant. Summers in Bangladesh are hot and humid which can take a toll during extensive field visits.
