It is important to bring dynamism to NGOs for smoothly implementing programmes aimed at improving the condition of local people, BRAC officials said at a workshop titled ‘Review and planning with local NGOs’ at a hotel at Kalatoli in Cox’s Bazar on Thursday.

Sajedul said BRAC will enhance its activities with partner NGOs to increase their capacities. Partner NGOs will work for implementation of programmes, while BRAC will only provide technical support, he said.

Target to achieve goals from 2021 to 2025 as per importance needs to be decided. Two matters ‘strategic partnership and capacity of implementation’ should be considered. Then more dynamism will come regarding activities in the days to come, he said.
