COVID-19 continues to leave a trail of devastation in its wake. Diminishing decades worth of development progress, the ongoing pandemic impact extends far beyond the health sector.

The first working paper of the Citizen's Platform for SDGs, Bangladesh puts forward a framework to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on vulnerable population groups in a developing country context.

This publication takes stock of the progress made by Bangladesh in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) during the first four-year cycle of the 2030 Agenda. The volume is the product of a unique participatory exercise which deploys a non-state actor’s (NSA) lens in discerning the country’s recent development experience.
