    Role of Governance in Local Development

    Since the end of the 1980s the issue of good governance has dominated the international discussion about development and international assistance to developing countries. It has been argued that good governance is an essential precondition for development. There are many countries that are similar in terms of their natural resources and social structures but with strikingly different performance in improving the welfare of their people. These differences have been attributed to standards of governance i.e. poor governance which stifles and impedes development. In those countries corruption is high, there is poor control of public funds, lack of accountability, abuses of human rights and excessive military influence; development inevitably has suffered (Karl Wohlmuth, Hans H. Bass, et al, 1999).…

    Economy of Bangladesh

    Against the backdrop of the global economic slowdown, the Bangladesh economy has performed strongly over the past few years. Despite the fallout from the Euro debt crisis still contributing to an uncertain environment, the Bangladesh economy has pursued accommodative monetary and fiscal policies. However, if the global economic slowdown is much more prolonged than the current forecasts indicate, the impact on Bangladesh is expected to be adverse. The economy has persevered so far in the face of global recession, but the domestic challenges are manifold with respect to soaring inflation, import-export imbalances, devaluation of the currency, a slow growth of remittances, increasing budget deficit and government borrowing. The analysis below presents a brief snapshot to show how the Bangladesh economy has performed during the recent past years. It is done here by analyzing the three channels: fiscal, monetary and trade.…

    Parliament Boycott in Bangladesh

    To know about this issue is important for many ways. First of all, in any kind of development ‘participation’ comes first and Bangladesh is a developing country and will be a developed country in very near future. Having a target of upgrade itself into a developed country, many development initiatives has been taken by the present and previous government. Moreover it is very appalling to mention that; majority portion of these development initiatives has gone into the vain just because of lack of public participation. I have mentioned about ‘participation’ because, national parliament of any democratic country is the place of participation and dialogue and debate. When in any issue participation,…

    Politicization of Bureaucracy in Pakistan

    Human societies have been gone through a drastic shift from a very simple life (stone age),to a very complex life, which is now termed as Post-Modern societies or states. Due to this transition, systems had evolved into formal and well organized manner. Now for smooth functioning of a society or state, institute of Government is needed. So Governments are key elements of our social lives and their actions routinely shape the lives of individuals. Governments, which ever political systems they belong to; are not a single entity rather are composed of many departments, institutions and agencies; which jointly work together to ensure smooth running of society. Today the concept of governance carries an important ground. It is the use of political authority and use of control over policy matters to achieve the goal of people’s welfare (K. Sumrin, 2008).…

    General Principles of Good Governance

    Service to others allows us to practice doing what Jesus would do and it connects us to those we serve and give us a kind of satisfaction that self-interest can never offer. When we serve others we are reminded that nothing in this life lasts as long as the bonds we form with other people, and there's no better way to connect ourselves to others than by working together for our common good and because everything we have comes from God, we should be willing to share it all. Think how much those talents mean when you share them with someone who needs your particular brand of expertise. Even the little things we do, like helping someone to transfer or positioning them or even feeding them, can make life a little easier for someone else.…

    An Evaluation of Ngos Working in Bangladesh on Poverty Alleviation

    Though substantial efforts are being made by the NGOs for the purpose of poverty alleviation, many a times these efforts are not adequately effective. The reasons for this ineffectiveness are many namely, lack of information, guideline and trust. To put it another way, there is a lack of proper information dissemination on the part of the NGOs in this sector. The message is not properly formulated neither is it properly distributed to the target segment. Then again, not only the NGOs but the target segment is not putting in the required endeavors to gain the assistance of the NGOs operating in this sector. In fine, we notice an acute need to fill this gap of information distribution and collection, which we believe can be alleviated by proper marketing initiatives. In order to complete this term paper, we will choose 10 NGOs which are operating in this sector. We will demonstrate how they are operating in this sector and try to chalk out their strengths and weaknesses.…
