About Us
freelancers.gov.bd is a national platform initiated under the guidance of the ICT Division and the Department of ICT (DoICT), Government of Bangladesh, to formally recognize, empower, and support the freelance community across the nation.
Freelancing in Bangladesh
The freelancing sector has emerged as one of the most promising and dynamic contributors to Bangladesh’s economy. A growing number of Bangladeshi freelancers are actively working with international clients, bringing in valuable foreign exchange and showcasing the country’s digital talent on the global stage. By establishing a formal identity for freelancers, the government aims to enhance their visibility and recognition within the economy, ultimately fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment for freelance work in Bangladesh. Such a system ensures easier access to banking facilities, financial incentives, training programs, and other institutional services designed to support their growth and credibility.
A Government Initiative for Empowerment
The freelancers.gov.bd platform is a landmark initiative launched by the ICT Division and implemented through the Department of ICT (DoICT). The platform facilitates the issuance of the Freelancer ID Card—a government-recognized digital identity that establishes authenticity, enhances professional reputation, and provides access to multiple opportunities and benefits for registered freelancers. This platform serves as a national data repository—recording key insights on freelancer demographics, earnings, and industry trends to guide future policymaking and sectoral development.
