The International Chamber of Commerce – Bangladesh (ICC-B) and UNICEF on Tuesday launched a new partnership to address the challenges impacting children in Bangladesh and reinforce a shared commitment towards the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

The two organisations have officially joined forces to promote children’s rights and well-being in Bangladesh and strengthen cooperation efforts to achieve the SDGs by 2030, reports UNB.

During the launch event, ICC Bangladesh President, Mahbubur Rahman and UNICEF Representative to Bangladesh Sheldon Yett signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) committing to work together to leverage expertise, mobilize resources, and collaborate to protect and promote children’s rights in Bangladesh, including during emergencies and disasters.

“Thank you to UNICEF for taking the initiative to collaborate with the private sector for the well-being of children in Bangladesh. We are proud to strengthen our cooperation with UNICEF to turn aspirations of the global goals into actions in Bangladesh,” said Mahbubur Rahman.

“To attain the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, it is very necessary to invest in children now to equip them with the resources and skills to face future challenges.

It is crucial to urgently prioritise our investment, particularly in health, nutrition, education, and other economic sectors key for children.”
