NGO role stressed for proper utilisation of CSR fund

Development organisations can play a vital role in proper utilisation of corporate social responsibility funds in social development, said chief executives and representatives of non-governmental organisations.

Putting emphasise on strong cooperation between the NGOs and the corporate sector to achieve the development, they said CSR money could be an alternative source of funding for poverty reduction.

They were addressing the concluding ceremony of a two-day orientation programme on 'linking CSR with NGOs' organised by the Management and Resources Development Initiative in the Dhaka city Sunday.

Chief executives and representatives of 14 NGOs participated in the programme.

The orientation covered conceptual aspects and operational experiences of CSR from different perspectives.

Shitangshu Kumar Sur Chowdhury, executive director of Bangladesh Bank, Hasibur Rahman, executive director of MRDI, Syed Ishtiaque Reza, news director of Ekattur Television, and M Emamul Haque, World Food Programme external relations head, were present among others in the concluding programme.
