Suchitra Acharjee

Suchitra Acharjee is a research, advocacy, and public service professional with experience in Bangladesh and Washington, DC. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Economics from the Asian University for Women and a Master of Public Affairs from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, where she was honored as Commencement Bell Ringer for leadership and integrity.

Her work has focused on advancing gender equity and educational opportunity – from supporting fellows at the Library of Congress researching women’s leadership to contributing to ActionAid Bangladesh and UNDP on projects empowering girls and youth. As a Graduate Archer Fellow, she advocated for labor safety for female garment workers, and through her Graduate Sustainability Research Fellowship, she developed recommendations to address child marriage and expand girls’ education in rural Bangladesh.

Passionate about women’s empowerment, educational equity, and inclusive communities, Suchitra engages others in thoughtful dialogue – often over a cup of chai – and draws motivation from bicycling, appreciating its lessons in balance and perseverance. At UNA-NCA, she applies her global perspective, research expertise, and collaborative spirit to connect local action with global challenges, guided by her belief that quality education is the foundation of all sustainable development.
