American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB) demonstrates a comprehensive strategy to actively participate in international collaboration on gathering or measuring data for the SDGs. The university's approach focuses on leveraging prestigious global networks to enhance institutional quality, sustainability practices, and educational frameworks, thereby fulfilling its commitment to the 2030 agenda. As a signatory of the SDG Accord and a Satellite Higher Education Institution of the International Association of Universities (IAU), AIUB engages with global partners to compile and report sustainability progress. This international collaboration is formalized through its annual SDG Progress Report, a key mechanism for data gathering that addresses global challenges.
AIUB's participation extends to specialized organizations that provide frameworks for gathering or measuring data. By joining the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE), AIUB gains access to a "global network" and resources essential for measuring data on its campus-wide sustainability initiatives. Its partnership with WePower (Women in Power Sector Network in South Asia), a World Bank-supported initiative, is another clear international collaboration for gathering data on SDG 5 (Gender Equality) and SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy). Similarly, its membership in the International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE) allows AIUB to "share best practices," benchmarking its performance against global standards (SDG 4). Furthermore, AIUB joined the "Responsible Futures International" program, a direct collaboration (SDG 17) to "embed sustainability in all aspects of student learning." This program provides a comprehensive international framework to guide and measure progress. Even the QS Stars rating, which awarded AIUB 5 stars for "Environmental Impact" (SDG 13), functions as an international data-gathering system. Through these strategic alliances, AIUB contributes significantly to the global dialogue and data-gathering efforts essential for the SDGs.
