Another seven days of bringing positive change Take a careful look at the picture on the side... These are the people you can turn to whenever you face harrasment or abuse of authority in UNDP Bangladesh. No matter what they will stand by your side and help you out. As our RR put it during their workshop at BRAC CDM at the start of the week... they are working to “Make UNDP Bangladesh a better, safer and dignified place to work” and their motto is “Prevention, Inclusive and Pro-active”. But we cannot stand by on the sidelines for this... So Gear Up Folks... All of us have a role to play.
Not only UNDP. We are also working to make workplaces around Bangladesh better. Some time in the week before, we, with our partner HSBC, organised a roundtable titled ‘Garment Sector Dialogue on Sustainability‛. Key issues discussed were women care, skill development, equal pay, employing people with disabilities, environment sustainability, product diversification and innovation. All the issues raised were unearthed through a series of consultations with both the buyers and suppliers in the industry. Now the story below is an example of being on your toes! But we will get to WHY later on... Last week, as a part of SDGs localisation initiative, our EALG and SFLP colleagues organised a meeting to discuss on a pilot with Bureau of Statistics (BBS) to map the status of SDGs at Dacope Upazila under Khulna district through a detailed household survey. This type of survey for mapping SDG status is a first in Bangladesh. And so is this story!!! This is the first story sent proactively by any project to the Week team to be shared. Kudos to the EALG team!! Oops! They did it again...
