Based on the findings of researches, experiences and examples of the selected four countries the section V of the book presents the actual steps in the three governance dimensions leading to the development of the inputs for the project document for developing the Bangladesh Qualification Framework simultaneously with the Strategic Workforce Plan for the emerging Bangladesh ready for implementation in three five-year phases starting from 2020-2021 completing by 2035-2036. The financial estimate has been worked out for the capacity strengthening of the key Resource Persons from all the social and economic sectors of the country and transforming the employed and upcoming workforce tuned to BQF in order to ensure growth acceleration with higher productivity and innovations for achieving the SDG before the completion of the implementation for the second phase and emerging Bangladesh as developed nation before the end of the third phase
