BAC, UN partnership to advance SDGs

BAC Executive Director, Serty Leburu, stated that the partnership offers them an opportunity to promote the SDGs on a larger scale. She noted that as the institution alone there isn't much they could do but with the UN by their side they will thrive. "As a wise man said, if you want to fast go alone but if you want to go far go together; This is the BAC modus operandi as our growth and impact aren't temporary or short term. "Our growth is embedded in collaboration which has made us who we are today and beyond," Leburu said.

Through the partnership, she highlighted that the collaboration will facilitate the integration of the SDGs in the BAC curriculum and research in areas of digital transformation, economic development, and climate change. The collaboration will also target three key tenets of the SDGs, Leburu elaborated. "Its signing covers three critical areas being engagement of youth in SDG-related initiatives, impactful investing in SDGs, and applied research," she said.
