🌏 Bangladesh needs approximately USD 421 billion in extra funding over the next five years to achieve the SDGs, according to a government assessment. 📈 Partnerships like NCC Bank-PKSF are critical for mobilizing the resources needed to bridge this financing gap and support grassroots economic development across the country.
