Synthesis Report on First National Conference on SDGs Implementation Review

November 23, 2018

In the development discourse, it is now mooted that political ownership of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their integrating with the national development strategies are two most important preconditions for successful implementation of SDGs. Sheikh Hasina, the Hon’ble Prime Minister of Bangladesh, has a unique opportunity to remain present and be the signatory to both the Millennium Declaration and the SDGs Declaration held in the UN General Assembly in 2000 and 2015 respectively. Under her visionary leadership, Bangladesh has conspicuous success stories with respect to the implementation of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The feat and global acclamation for MDGs have encouraged the political masters of Bangladesh to own SDGs and align it with the national on-going 7th Five Year Plan (2016-20), the cornerstone for national development. In order to ensure that no one is left behind, it is suggested that a robust, voluntary, effective, participatory, transparent and integrated follow-up and review framework will make a vital contribution to implementation of SDGs, and will help countries to maximize and track progress in implementing the Agenda 2030. As part of systematic follow-up and review of implementation of the agenda 2030 at the national level, the Government of Bangladesh for the fist tie organized a National Conference on SDGs Implementation Review (SIR) during 4-6 July, 2018. The focus of the conference was to apprise different stakeholders about the implementation status of SDGs for the last two and half years. The conference brought together the Ministers, Senior Officials, NGOs, CSOs, Development Partners, Academia, researchers, right activists, and private sectors. Senior officials from Ministries/Divisions of the Government of Bangladesh, Development Partners, NGOs and CSOs presented their reports in plenaries and in different sessions followed by questions & answer. The presentation highlighted actins already taken, identified challenges and charted future course of actions. In three days, around 2000 participants registered and participated in this fist national conference.

PERSPECTIVE PLAN OF BANGLADESH 2010-2021

April 6, 2012

A nation without vision is a nation gone astray. Such is not the case for Bangladesh whose independence in 1971 was the culmination of a people’s struggle, as much for political freedom as it was for their economic emancipation. In keeping with those aspirations, the Government’s Vision 2021 is an articulation of where this nation needs to be in 2021 – the year which marks the 50th anniversary of Bangladesh’s independence. That milestone, ten years away from 2011, will be a high point in Bangladesh’s war against chronic poverty and the struggle to attain middle income country status, from its beginning as a low income country. This “Perspective Plan of Bangladesh (2010-2021): Making Vision 2021 a Reality” is a strategic articulation of the development vision, mission, and goals of the Government in achieving a prosperous Bangladesh grounded in political and economic freedoms a reality in 2021.
