Economic Reporter :
Discussants at a conference here on Thursday said the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) must be adopted and implemented according to the particular context, issues and characteristics of the stakeholders and their surrounding environment.
They also observed that people, process and partnership – three Ps- are significant and they should be considered as the three pillars for SDGs adoption and successful implementation.
Social Responsibility Asia (SR Asia) organised the 5th SR Asia International Conference to convey the main theme of ‘Implementation Challenges of SDGs and Business Competitiveness’ in the city.
The conference was organised through collaboration with INSPIRED Project funded by European Union and other partners are Nestle Bangladesh Ltd, NRB Global Bank Ltd and Southeast University.
International Director of SR Asia Birendra Raturi delivered keynote speech at the inaugural session.
Labour and Employment Secretary Mikail Shipar, Director, NPO Ajit Kumar Paul, Head of Cooperation, European Union Mario Ronconi and Country Director of SR Asia Bangladesh Sumaya Rashid were, among others, present. To make SDGs adoption and implementation a success, people need to have the right perspective on SDGs, the education and/or capacity building on SDGs, and balancing their goals and values with SDGs, the speakers said.
They said stakeholders must recognise that a good process leads to a good result and impact.
