Street Child Bangladesh was delighted to participate in an insightful national-level symposium named 'White Paper and Thereafter: Economic Management, Reforms and National Budget' for Bangladesh this Saturday, 18 Jan 2025 organised by the White Paper Bangladesh 2024 in collaboration with Citizen's Platform for SDGs, Bangladesh at Bangabandhu International Conference Center (BICC).

The honourable adviser Mr. SK Bashir Uddin, Ministry of Commerce and Mr Chowdhury Ashik Mahmud Bin Harun, the Executive Chairman of Bangladesh Investment Development Authority - BIDA were the guests of honour; several senior government officers, academicians, researchers and private sector policy experts remarked on the white paper led by Dr. Debapriya Bhattacharya.

The publication of the "White Paper on State of the Bangladesh Economy: Dissection of a Development Narrative" has sparked a lively in-depth discussion about the challenges highlighted in the document and the recommendations it has come up with for the current interim government of Bangladesh.

Especial thanks to the authors who meticulously worked behind this and appreciate the recommendations for the government to go for priority-based reforms. We strongly believe the white paper's findings and recommendations will widely help to reshape the policies, foster macroeconomic stability and ultimately make them more meaningful & viable for the marginalised communities across the country 🇧🇩

The main objective of the workshop was to share the long-standing ‘PLAY to learn’ model insights working with the ECD [Early Childhood Development] group, collaborating with the partners and see how this model can be scaled up widely across the world 🌍

SC Bangladesh can see potential areas to work collaboratively with the partners here following the PLAY to learn model and also reasonably to see how our PLAY 2.0 research study findings can complement here.

Hope you're having a great day to start off the week! 👌

Street Child Bangladesh conducted the 'PLAY 2.0' full-scale training with the data enumerators in Cox's Bazar in Nov 2024. RTI International supported us in clarifying tool-related queries and practices. Our enumerators did amazing work with coding and achieved 89% agreement on average in the classroom video observation and during the field test visit. We were so happy with the inter-reliability performance and strongly believe that our enumerators are going to collect quality full data for the full-scale data collection.

Join us to wish them all the best for this exciting research work and can't wait to share the long-standing findings as soon as it's accomplished!
