By backing these efforts, BIBD reinforces its dedication to partnering with the government to foster social progress and align with the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in the areas of health, education, and community partnerships.
This collaboration not only reflects BIBD’s commitment to sustainable development but also highlights the crucial role of active engagement from various sectors to achieve impactful outcomes for the people of Brunei Darussalam.
