Coordination among the various government ministries and divisions as well as between government and non-state actors (NGOs, CSOs, CBOs) are critically important to ensure the best use of limited resources, particularly in view of attaining such an ambitious agenda as the SDGs. GO-GO coordination is also necessary to avoid the so-called ‘silo approach’ which was a key shortcoming of the MDG implementation process. The ministry mapping exercise undertaken by the government of Bangladesh in 2016 confirmed that several ministries/divisions would need to come together to implement individual SDGs. For example, implementation of SDG 8 will require coordination among 38 government agencies. This calls for a greater emphasis on identifying concrete roles that concerned agencies will need to play in order to achieve the various targets under particular goals.
