Evaluation of Bangladesh's SDG6 achievement: A review

Abdur Razzak Zubaer

Abstract


The motive of this investigation is to assess whether the objectives of Sustainable Development Goal 6 have been met by orienting them with current actions taken by a variety of ministries and divisions in Bangladesh. In addition to this, it investigates the institutional difficulties connected with the execution of Sustainable Development Goal 6. Several methods were utilized in this investigation for the purpose of examining both primary and secondary data. The actions that were taken by the numerous ministries and divisions of Bangladesh resonated, to a certain extent, with 8 of SDG 6's targets and 11 of its indicators. Because of unclear responsibilities assigned to various ministries and divisions, there is now overlapping jurisdiction, which has led to competing interests and a general lack of cohesiveness. When it comes to reaching the goals that have been established for Sustainable Development Goal 6, the most significant institutional bottlenecks include imprecise stakeholder investigation, a scarcity of data availability, a scarcity of competency and obedience, and a peak-to-bottom strategy outlook. The primary objective of the study is to identify the significant obstacles that must be overcome in order to successfully complete the indicators. In addition, some suggestions are offered in order to enhance the procedures and ensure that the milestone is reached within the allotted amount of time.
