The major Sustainable Development Goal targets for Bangladesh have become tougher due to the Covid pandemic, which has exposed the country’s inherent socio-economic weaknesses, amid lax governance, growing inequality, unabated corruption and growing road accident deaths. Economists and rights activists said that ending poverty, promoting well-being for all, reducing income inequality, ensuring sustainable economic growth and promotion of quality education in line with the UN-sponsored SDGs became highly challenging for the country to achieve by 2030. They noted that the SDG targets represent a wide array of highly inter-connected indicators, which are more complex than the Millennium Development Goal targets.
