EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS

Great Partners
Awesome Reviews

The invaluable feedback and uplifting testimonials from our stakeholders have been a driving force behind our collective progress.

CED has been invaluable in my various research endeavors. CED’s unparalleled support, leveraging its extensive network within the Bangladesh RMG industry for interviews and data collection, was exceptional. Accessing their “Mapped in Bangladesh” project data proved to be the most reliable and updated source available. I extend my best wishes to CED for continued success in their future endeavors.

CED and UNEP have a common goal of supporting marginalized communities and improving their standard of living through working on climate resilience. Working on access to technology, finance, and skill sets, CED’s dedication to involve women in an effective way in renewable energy production and consumption, through EmPower Phase I & II, and their commitment to give opportunities to women and marginalized groups to develop their skills and provide job opportunities in the context of just transition, perfectly aligns with UN’s mission of Gender equity. This partnership truly exemplifies the transformative impact of collaborative efforts.
