Building local capacity for effective and sustainable local partnership: a path towards sustainable development

Abstract

Local organizations play a vital role in identifying solutions for the local challenges, from humanitarian needs to private sector development, and even beyond those areas such as socioeconomic aspect of a country. One of the seventeenth goals under the SDGs is Goal 17: Partnership: A successful development agenda requires inclusive partnership- at the global, regional, national, and local levels . While the SDG goals are aimed at both national and international partnership, this particular study focuses on the aspects of building local capacity for sustainable and effective local partnership, with both profit and non-profit organizations in Bangladesh. The study is intended to explore the opportunities for local partnership and how capacity development can play an important role and create opportunities for businesses and development organizations for strong and long-term partnership that will help leverage our resource more efficiently and contribute to the achievement of the SDGs 2030 and lead the country to a journey to self-reliance in the long run.
