PKSF mulls strategic changes to help accelerate inclusive growth

PKSF is set to introduce new dimensions to its areas and scope of work, and operational approaches to accelerate the journey towards inclusive growth in Bangladesh. This strategic shift aims to fulfill the diverse   needs   of   people   in   alignment   with   the   country’s   socio-economic   progress,   technological advancements, and evolving poverty landscape, thereby strengthening the national economy.

To this end, a draft of the ‘PKSF Strategic Plan (2025-2030)’ was presented on Sunday at a meeting held at the PKSF Bhaban in Agargaon, Dhaka, before the Members of PKSF’s General Body and Governing Body, according to a release. 

PKSF   Chairman   Zakir   Ahmed   Khan   chaired   the   meeng   while   Managing   Director   Md   Fazlul   Kader delivered the welcome speech.

The meeting was informed that PKSF, since incepon, has been implementing various programmes based on prevalent needs   of  the  poor  people.  Over  time,  this apex  development  agency has  successfully implemented new programs and projects in response to the evolving demands at the grassroots. The quality, effectiveness, and results of these activities have earned PKSF recognitions both at home and abroad.

However, PKSF believes that the prevailing socio-economic, technological, and poverty situation warrants new dimensions in its operaons. It is to this end that the formulaon of the ‘PKSF Strategic Plan (2025-2030)’ has been initiated.

Dr AKM Nuruzzaman, General Manager of PKSF, presented on the draft strategic plan.

Earlier on 17 June, a special view-exchange meeng tled ‘PKSF Strategy 2030’ was held at PKSF Bhaban.

There,   distinguished economists   and   development   experts   reviewed   the   draft   strategic   plan.   They lauded PKSF’s overall activities and provided various suggestions regarding the draft plan.

Speakers at the meeting expressed hope that once implemented, the ‘PKSF Strategic Plan (2025-2030)’ will further accelerate the pace of inclusive growth in the country by ensuring sustainable development for the disadvantaged and low-income people. The strategic plan is expected to be approved on 29 June.
