PM Sheikh Hasina is one of the few world leaders still in power when then 15-year MDGs campaign was initiated in the year 2000. The next phase of development targets termed SDGs will be adopted in September this year at the UN for the 2015-2030 period.
Hence, the Secretary General has sought the help of veteran leader Sheikh Hasina in this regard, who can provide practical insights as to the lessons from the MDGs campaign.
Bangladesh made substantial progress in the UN MDGs, achieving a number of targets before time. Additionally, Bangladesh has also made significant progress in a number of other social and human development indicators during this period.
This has made Bangladesh a development role model in the eyes of the international community. This was possible due to the leadership of PM Sheikh Hasina, and hence, her views on development have become important for the development community.
In September this year, PM Sheikh Hasina will present the perspectives of a developing country vis-à-vis SDGsthat has been successful the MDGs campaign. She is also expected to be vocal on the issue of climate change at the world stage, as she has been and praised for, so far.
