In 2018 CPD stayed productively engaged in research, dialogue and outreach aligned with its mission of promoting an inclusive society. Besides, addressing emerging issues of national, regional and global importance, CPD particularly focused on Least Developed Countries (LDC), Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), Readymade Garments (RMG), and youth and unemployment. In the highlights of 2018, we showcase the prominent ones from a range of activities CPD carried out throughout the year.

[/fusion_title][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” class=”” id=””]

As the Secretariat of the Citizen’s Platform for SDGs, Bangladesh, CPD is working to build an inclusive society which is also a part CPD’s own mission. The focus of this year’s work was mostly to make proper use of Bangladesh’s demographic dividend by utilising the youth, especially, youth of the vulnerable communities. Citizen’s Platform for SDGs, Bangladesh organised a day-long conference titled Youth Conference 2018 that intended to improve the knowledge of youth regarding SDGs. The conference highlighted the aspirations of the youth and how the potentials of the youth can be utilised to accelerate mainstream development. The Youth Declaration 2018 was approved in the conference. CPD in partnership with UN ESCAP South and South-West Asia Office (UN ESCAP-SSWA)and Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES), Bangladesh is embarking on a multi-country research and policy initiative, Interpreting SDGs for South Asia: In Search of a Regional Framework.

Poverty and injustice

[/fusion_title][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” class=”” id=””]

The unjust nature of society and unequal distribution of opportunities create and reproduce poverty and inequality in most South Asian nations. A dialogue was organised to discuss these findings from the book titled Challenging Injustice in South Asia: A Work Programme for Promoting Inclusive Development by Professor Rehman Sobhan, Chairman, CPD. The recommendations from the book are in six broad areas to promote inclusive development in Bangladesh and other South Asian countries which includes enhancing market power of the excluded and broadening ownership of assets through collective action.

In 2018 CPD jointly organised 7th South Asian Regional Meeting of the TTI (TTI-RM7) with BRAC Institute of Governance and Development (BIGD). Professor Jomo Kwame Sundaram, a leading economist and expert on the political economy, delivered the CPD Annual Lecture 2018 titled Assessing the Challenges of SDG Implementation: Food, energy and inequality, which particularly emphasised on misconception of hunger and lack of global political willingness to use renewable energy. Besides, CPD organised a public lecture on Knowledge to Share, Planet to Care by Pascal Lamy, former director general of World Trade Organisation (WTO) and Special Envoy of the French Government.
