Another seven days of bringing positive change Guess who‛s back!!! With the stress levels reaching an all-time high with the year-end, the audit and THE DELIVERY PRESSURE ; the prince of UNDP Bangladesh Tasin took time off from his busy schedule and paid a visit to his subjects at the start of the week. Sudipto Da, as evident from the picture, reunited with his young friend Tasin took the scope to return the honorary title of Official Stress Reliever to the prince, a proposal he gladly accepted. Let‛s now just hope his mom agrees to bring him back!!! As urban citizen, we should ponder upon our living conditions. And right on time, the research facility took a cue from urban October and focused their first release on urbanization.
Meanwhile, we have a new Assistant Administrator and Director of the Regional Bureau for Asia and Pacific (RBAP). Kanni Wignaraja brings over 25 years of UN experience and UNDP‛s SDG role. WELCOME to the family!!!

P.S.
Now we all know that there is a video in each issue of the week. And there are a lot of complaints about people not being able to see them. Well the reason is that it is hosted on our internal facebook group - Beyond Work. Those of you who have not joined the group, please click on the group‛s name.
Remember the power rangers and their fancy watches with super powers? Well we did not go that far, but our colleagues in North Korea sent us pictures of them boasting our wristbands thanks to Le Le Lan. She carried them all the way after her short assignment in Bangladesh. Thanks for spreading a little bit of Bangladesh in Korea!!!
