Karachi
February 28, 2021
Without engaging local communities and civil society organisations, the government cannot achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations for 2030.
This was said at the recently held annual national awards ceremony at the head office of HANDS, a non-government organisation. The ceremony’s slogan was ‘Connecting Communities to 2030’.
Dr Abdul Ghaffar Billo, philanthropist and founder of HANDS, said they had strong economic support from all the provincial governments, especially Sindh, as well as international development partners, including Foreign Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO) United Kingdom and USAID.
