The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) constitute a universal, integrated and transformative vision for a sustainable world. For the goals to be reached, everyone needs to do their part–the government, the private sector and civil society in every country—and apply
creativity and innovation to address development challenges and recognise the need to encourage sustainability.

The government creates an enabling and monitoring environment for implementation; civil society creates advocacy and awareness; the academic and research community provides knowledge, technologies and innovation for implementation; and the private sector does much of the implementation towards achieving the SDG targets. These different roles and responsibilities imply that the development goals cannot be achieved in isolation. There is a need for integration and partnerships between different role players. These partnerships need to be accountable, as well as people- and planet-centred.

Bangladesh and the SDGs
Bangladesh, as an active participant in the global process of preparing the Agenda 2030, started its implementation from the very beginning through the integration of SDGs into the national development agenda. The SDGs were integrated with the country’s 7th Five Year Plan (7FYP, 2016- 2020) and these were given emphasis while setting the priority areas of the 7FYP such that the achievement of Plan objectives and targets also can contribute towards the achievement of the SDGs.

All the 17 goals were integrated into the 7FYP. A Development Results Framework (DRF) -a robust and rigorous result based monitoring and evaluation framework– was also embedded in the Plan for monitoring the 7FYP. The outcomes and targets in the DRF were aligned with the SDGs focus on macroeconomic development, poverty reduction, employment, education, health, water and sanitation, transport and communication, power, energy and mineral resources, gender and inequality, environment, climate change and disaster management, ICT, urban development, governance, and international cooperation and partnership.
