UNDP Bangladesh Country Office Seeking PR Agency

To capture the best practices and successes of UNDP in Bangladesh and present that for mass people, it has taken an initiative for promoting the six signature solutions of UNDP. In line with that, a creative/communications agency will be assigned to develop a catchy thematic song highlighting UNDP’s work to help Bangladesh achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

Background:

With offices in more than 160 countries and territories, we offer global perspective and local insight to help empower lives and build resilient nations. UNDP Bangladesh has been a key facilitator in Bangladesh’s remarkable development story since it first started operations in 1972. Since then, UNDP has assisted Bangladesh’s progression to an ever more dynamic, youthful and resilient emerging economy with distinct promise. UNDP Bangladesh has been a valuable partner throughout this process, acting as an honest broker and catalyst in promoting transformational changes in the lives and livelihoods of the people of Bangladesh.On the ground in 177 countries and territories, UNDP is the most universal actor in technical development assistance and capacity development. The activity that is facilitated, executed, or encouraged through UNDP’s global network generates not only direct development outputs, but also a rich base of collective knowledge. Especially, UNDP’s long and diverse country engagement in Bangladesh has generated rich knowledge resources, which are extremely useful to the country’s development actors, including the government, academia, civil society, development partners, and the people of Bangladesh.
