to create real, lasting change. We are not simply responding to today’s challenges —
we are building a future-ready Bangladesh that contributes to global progress.

Train youth in digital skills, entrepreneurship, and vocational trades to make them employable globally.

Why This Matters
Bangladesh is at a crossroads:
…
1. One of the youngest nations in the world: Over 45% of our population is under 25 — a powerful demographic dividend that could transform our economy if given the right opportunities.
2. Climate frontlines: Bangladesh is among the top 10 most climate-vulnerable countries. Rising sea levels, floods, and cyclones are threatening livelihoods and displacing millions.
3. Education-to-employment gap: Millions of graduates and rural youth lack practical, market-relevant skills, leading to unemployment and migration pressure.
4. Health and social protection gaps: Waterborne diseases, disaster fatalities, and mental health challenges weaken communities year after year.
Without bold action, these challenges could limit our growth and stability for generations. But with the right investment now, we can transform Bangladesh into a global success story — a country known for resilience, innovation, and youth leadership.
Why Now
One of the youngest nations in the world:
…
1. Over 45% of our population is under 25 — a powerful demographic dividend that could transform our economy if given the right opportunities.
2. The digital revolution is happening now. If we skill our youth today, Bangladesh can become a global freelancing hub and innovation center.
3. Global funding windows are open. IGOs, embassies, and CSR initiatives are actively seeking local partners for SDG-aligned projects before 2030.
This is the moment to act to turn Bangladesh’s youth potential into national strength, and its challenges into opportunities.
Why UAN
UAN is uniquely positioned to make this
…
1. We have the network: Youth committees in 65 districts, connected with schools, colleges, universities, and local governments.
2. We have the trust: Thousands of volunteers are mobilized under a respected, community-driven banner.
3. We have the expertise: Our leadership includes alumni of Bangladesh Red Crescent, Korean Red Cross, international universities, and global youth forums — bridging local insight with global best practices.
4. We have the framework: Every initiative aligns with SDGs 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 13, and 16 to guarantee relevance and measurable impact.
5. We are scalable: From a village training session to a nationwide campaign, UAN can expand quickly because of its decentralized, volunteer-powered model.
