Rural Development Policy and Administrative Patterns in Bangladesh : A Critical Review

その他

The study examines the current framework implementation of rural development policy and administrative pattern in Bangladesh. Majority of the people in Bangladesh live in rural areas where problems of unemployment, inequality and poverty are common. Bangladesh has been undertaking rural development programs both at the government and non-government organizational levels. However, within the existing framework, rural development policies and poverty reduction programs in Bangladesh have been unable to significantly benefit the target population. Though government and government agencies are playing an important complementary role in the rural development sector, their roles are not completely positive. To focus attention in development policy and action, this study identifies weaknesses and suggests potential areas for improvement in effective rural development in Bangladesh.
