Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals

Abstract

This chapter addresses the following questions: What are the organizational gaps in achieving the SDGs indicators in the hilly ethnic groups, and how are they looking forward to sustainable development? This chapter also shows the organizational structure and its challenges concerning coping with SDGs and unfolding the links within ministries in Bangladesh. The Sustainable Development Goals are a burning issue worldwide, and they have significant consequences on economic growth as well as on public administration, either sound or immoral management. The Ministry of Chittagong Hill Tracts Affairs (MoCHTA) is mandated to ameliorate and ensure social safety and security in the life settings of the different ethnic people in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) area after signing an accord on 2nd December 1997. Methodologically, it is a neoliberalism study, and the authors conducted this chapter based on secondary data analyzed and reviewed, such as Ministry's APA, Citizen Charter, project or development activities, reports, and interviews with senior bureaucrats and ethnic leaders.
