Similarly, the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD) and Citizen’s Platform for SDGs, Bangladesh recently produced a report to investigate who is left the farthest behind in Bangladesh.

Sustainable Development: Envisaging the Future Together

Jointly published by SDPI and Sang-e-Meel

This anthology coincides with Pakistan’s 70-year independence celebrations and SDPI’s 25 years as a research and advocacy organisation. The journey of both has been similar and monumental. From a country with a negligible industrial base, Pakistan’s economy is now worth nearly USD 300 billion. Opening its doors as a small think-tank struggling to survive with unpredictable and meager funding avenues, SDPI is now ranked and recognised internationally as the 15th Top Think Tanks in Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
