P4G Meets with Government Leaders in Bangladesh and Indonesia

About

P4G Global Director Ian de Cruz and Engagement Manger Daniel Mejia visited Indonesia and Bangladesh last month, where they met with representatives from existing partnerships, government and business leaders. There is a strong alignment of P4G agenda with Indonesian government priorities regarding sustainable development. Both sides expressed interests in renewable energy, electric buses and waste management. P4G also met with Food Loss and Waste Partnership, one of its 2018 Start-Up partnerships, to identify ways in which the P4G network can connect the partnership to opportunities for continued/future growth.

In Bangladesh, P4G attended a stakeholder workshop that was held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and moderated by a P4G champion – DG Mohammad Khorshed A. Khastagir. With more than 50 representatives from across the government, private and civil society sectors in Bangladesh, the workshop was a critical moment for increasing understanding about how partnerships can enable action on economic and climate commitments. Ultimately, the connections made at this event helped curate a strong relationship between P4G and Bangladeshi changemakers.

P4G looks forward to further sowing its relationships with both countries and helping to put partnerships at the core of their strategic approaches to environmental, social and economic growth.
