verification_status is 'partial' because: (1) RDCD's FY2025-26 grant allocation (MoF Grant 35, Code 138) could not be extracted — the PDF at mof.portal.gov.bd timed out on all fetch attempts; the figure should be retrieved from 138_Rural_English.pdf when accessible. (2) The current Secretary's identity carries uncertainty: Wikipedia lists Md. Mashiur Rahman, ndc (reflecting the post-Feb 2026 BNP administration), while a January 2025 reference cited Mohamad Rezaul Ahasan — a confirmed pre-BNP appointment; head_since is left null because the exact date of Mashiur Rahman's appointment to this post is not confirmed from a primary source. (3) RDCD's total sanctioned staff count is not published. Supervised entities (confirmed from Wikipedia Ministry article): Department of Cooperatives (est. 1904; ~175,000 registered societies, 10 million+ members; Registrar and DG: Munima Hafiz; legal basis: Cooperative Societies Act 2001), BRDB (est. 1982; DG: Sarder Md Keramat Ali; 5.3 million beneficiaries; 57 district + 476+ upazila offices), Palli Daridro Bimochon Foundation (PDBF), Small Farmer Development Foundation (SFDF), Bangladesh Cooperative Bank, Milk Vita (Bangladesh Dairy Farmer Cooperative Union Ltd.), Bangladesh Academy for Rural Development (BARD, Cumilla), Rural Development Academy (RDA, Bogura), Bangabandhu Poverty Alleviation and Rural Development (BAPARD), Palli Sanchay Bank (est. July 2021; ~120,000 cooperative societies linked; ~5 million beneficiaries, majority women). One House One Farm (Ektee Bari Ektee Khamar) project, a flagship AL-era programme (2009, Tk 11 billion), has not been formally discontinued by the BNP government as of verification date but no expansion or new branding has been announced. RDCD's digital transformation (Integrated Service Delivery Platform covering 185 services at 4,816 offices of 10 RDCD organisations via a2i) predates the BNP government but continues operationally. [2026-06-08 audit correction] Secretary 'Md. Mashiur Rahman, ndc' unconfirmed; Mohamad Rezaul Ahasan found as of Jan 2025; left unchanged pending a primary source.
