Provenance & notes

Stichting BRAC International is a non-profit foundation established in 2009 under Netherlands law, seat in The Hague; it oversees BRAC operations outside Bangladesh. Not a Bangladesh-domiciled NGO, so Bangladesh regulator/registration fields are not applicable (regulator set to 'other'). Founder credited is Sir Fazle Hasan Abed, who founded parent BRAC in 1972. Shameran Abed appointed Executive Director effective 1 August 2021. Country count cited variously as 13-14; left to qualitative coverage to avoid an unverified exact figure. No single dated 2024-2025 event with source URL captured, so recent_activity left null.
