The Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industries is going to arrange training for its chambers and associations to enhance their capacity.
To this end, FBCCI President Md Jashim Uddin urged the trade bodies to make a list of the priority sectors that need an increase in capacity.
The federation chief made the call at the first meeting of the FBCCI standing committee on Capacity Building of Member Bodies held at FBCCI in Dhaka on Monday, said a press release.
Md Jashim Uddin, who is also the Director-In-Charge of the Standing Committee, informed that FBCCI is going to set up Innovation Centre to enhance the capacity of the private sector to deal with the challenges of post-LDC, to achieve SDG-2030, Vision-2041 and other national development goals.
Necessary training will be arranged for various chambers and sector-based associations through this centre.
Jashim Uddin said that to adapt to the changed world trade system and global supply chain and to utilise the potential of the 4IR, there is no alternative to increasing the capacity of the private sector.
Hence, an advisory panel with eminent economists, former government officials and policymakers has already been formed to transform the FBCCI into a research-based organisation, he further informed.
FBCCI Senior Vice-President Mostofa Azad Chowdhury Babu said that most of the chambers have already done well in building capacity. The FBCCI will soon organise meetings with chamber and association leaders in all divisions to enhance the capacity of trade organisations.
Former First Vice-President of FBCCI and Chairman of the committee Mohammad Ali called for strengthening the secretariats of the trade organisations to make the organisations stronger and more dynamic.
FBCCI Vice-President and Co-Chairman of the committee Salahuddin Alamgir, Former Vice-President Abu Alam Chowdhury, Dewan Sultan Ahmed, Mahbubul Alam, Director Rejaul Kariem Rejnu, Syed Moazzem Hossain, Abu Motaleb, Md Naser and Syed Sadat Almas Kabir and other members of the committee also spoke the meeting.
