Bangladesh is bordered by India to its west, north and east, Myanmar to its southeast and to its south, it faces the Bay of Bengal. More than 98% of Bangladeshis speak Bengali as their native language. India as the biggest neighbour, has great influence on socio-political context and economy of Bangladesh. Myanmar is one of Bangladesh's closest neighbours, and the two countries have had a long-standing relationship dating back generations. The 271-kilometer Bangladesh-Myanmar border is strategically significant for Bangladesh, despite the fact that it is militarized due to Myanmar's continuous internal strife; Rohingya refugee crisis.

ACF Dhaka office and guest houses are located in Gulshan. Along with Gulshan, adjacent Banani and Baridhara are the three most “affluent” neighborhoods in the city with all foreign embassies, diplomatic offices, and could be considered as “secured” neighborhoods with extra vigilance from law enforcement agencies. Most hotels, restaurants, bars and coffee shops are located in the area. But it should also be noted that this is also the area with the biggest number of expats and VIPs and therefore is a prime potential target neighborhood. ACF has rented two four-bedroom apartments; a female and a male guest houses on different floors. Each has their own cook/cleaner who visits 2 to 3 times a week.  Each bedroom has its own attached bathroom. Common spaces include Kitchen, Dining area, Sitting area, treadmill.

Dhaka is the capital and largest city of Bangladesh. With its colorful history and rich cultural traditions, Dhaka is known the world over as the city of mosques and muslin.
