Centre for Policy Dialogue’s Executive Director Fahmida Khatun has been made a member of the high-level advisory board on the productive capacities index (PCI) of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
UNCTAD secretary-general has already invited her to join as a member of the advisory board on PCI, Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD) said in a press release.
UNCTAD launched PCI as a practical tool to help member states to monitor and benchmark their progress and achievements in building new and enhancing existing productive capacities over time, and their potential to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The PCI advisory board will advise UNCTAD on its research and policy-oriented agenda related to productive capacities, including expansion of policy and institutional frameworks, further development and refinement of the methods, according to the press release.
The advisory board will also work in collaboration with academia, policy makers, statisticians and experts working on related programmes and endeavours, it said.
