Abstract:

Investment seeking Bangladesh's economy is hungry for local and international finance for its infrastructure development. One Belt-One Road (OBOR) seems opened a golden door, not only for Bangladesh's economic reform but also created an opportunity for higher bilateral cooperation between China and Bangladesh. The geographical location of Bangladesh is playing a vital role despite being a small economy and territory in the region. Covering three sides of the Bangladeshi border, economically emerging state India has a sharp eye look on Bangladesh's strategies and policies more than any other time. The hostile looks of India (on China's OBOR initiative) are not an easy task for Bangladesh regarding Geopolitical & Economic strategies. Growing interests in Bangladesh among China and India appeared as a two-edged sword. However, India was the major trading partner of Bangladesh. However, China's trade with Bangladesh has increased manifold in recent years to surpass India from 2004 onwards. This is slowing down, and the change of economic relations between India and Bangladesh, coupled with strained and uncertain political relations, raises multiple concerns. Many dynamics have contributed to China's growing presence in Bangladesh compared to India's decline concerning trade and investment. India has lost out to China in many vital industries. While reviewing and assessing recent developments, the study also depicts a strategy to counter India's declining economic influence in Bangladesh.

Abstract:

This research examines domestic debt, private sector lending, and economic development in emerging countries, focusing on Bangladesh. This analysis uses 1960–2022 Bangladeshi secondary data, World Bank World Development Indicators and Bangladesh Ministry of Finance economic statistics. Domestic debt and private sector credit affect emerging nations' economic development, according to this study's theoretical approach. This research examines the link between two factors to add to the literature and provide Bangladesh-specific insights. It is quantitative research that examines domestic debt, private sector credit, and economic development using regression analysis and statistical testing. The conclusions aids Bangladesh's economic development policymakers, economists, and stakeholders. Understanding national debt, financing from the private sector, and the advancement of the country's economy helps policymakers manage debt, allocate credit, and set economic policy. The conducted study also improves theoretical understanding of economic development in underdeveloped countries and illuminates Bangladesh's unique conditions. It examined household debt, private sector lending, and Bangladeshi economic development as well as examines the patterns of economic growth in emerging nations to enhance policy debates and broaden knowledge.

Abstract:

In this study, the principal purpose has been to investigate the impacts of COVID-19 on GDP, export volumes, remittance and unemployment of Bangladesh and to forecast these variables for a period of time using econometric techniques. The results show that the loss of GDP, export volumes and remittance of Bangladesh in 2020 will be $40984.3387 million, $6540.966 million, $3941.449 million respectively. In terms of percentage, the loss of GDP is 18.08%, export volumes – 18.08%, and remittance – 19.73% of the total values. The predicted values indicate that the Bangladeshi GDP, export volumes and remittance inflows will fall for 3 years, 2 years and 2 years respectively. Due to COVID-19 outbreak, the loss of world GDP will be 14904846.597 million dollars or 17.07% of the total GDP and will experience decrease for 7 years. Thus, Bangladeshi economy will face downturn for a lesser period than the world. The predicted GDP shows that COVID-19 will result in a decline of Bangladeshi GDP and export volumes until 2021, after which they will be have an increase rate of 4.7% and 9.8% respectively. Additionally, prediction of the remittance inflows reveals a decline in 2020, but an increase of 6.692% for 2021. It is also concluded that in 2020 global unemployment rate will be increase by 1.36%, while the unemployment rate in Bangladesh will be increase by 58.23%. This indicator for Bangladesh is very high, but it will fall by 18.72% in 2021 and starting with 2022 it will be increasing by 2.47% for a long period of time. Thus, it can be said that COVID-19 will be a big threat for increasing the unemployment rate for a long period of time. The research testifies that the death rate with respect to confirmed cases is statistically significant at any level. Finally, as no economic indicators other than the unemployment rate will be unreasonably affected, the post COVID-19 economy of Bangladesh will not face undue risk.

Abstract:

Bangladesh experienced a turbulent year in 2017, largely as a result of damaging floods. Moreover, the flood of Rohingya refugees in the second half of the year added considerable strain to Bangladesh’s political economy. There are worrisome signs that the Bangladeshi state is using a range of institutional and extrajudicial mechanisms to stifle political opposition.

Abstract:

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play a vital role in Bangladesh's economy and have been recognized as a significant catalyst for poverty reduction programs and economic growth. Therefore, it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of the concept of SMEs and their role in driving economic growth and development. Consequently, this study endeavors to explore the definition of SMEs, their present status, and their contributions to the development of Bangladesh’s economy. Using a quantitative research method, the study performed a descriptive statistics analysis on data gathered from diverse sources, including academic, governmental, and private institutions, as well as pertinent literature from researchers, academics, and scholars. The study has found that the definition of SMEs in Bangladesh has undergone changes over time. The study findings also revealed that the growth of SMEs has had a significant impact on various economic indices in Bangladesh, contributing positively to the country's economic development. Hence, the findings of this study can provide valuable insights to readers seeking a comprehensive understanding of SMEs in the context of Bangladesh. Moreover, policymakers can utilize these findings to introduce well-suited policies and initiatives that will foster the future development of the SME sector.

Abstract:

Rajshahi Krishi Unnayan Bank (RAKUB) acting a vital role within the economic development of Bangladesh particularly in supporting the farmers of the sixteen districts of Rajshahi and Rangpur divisions in Bangladesh. Agriculture remnants the foremost essential part of the Bangladeshi economy. According to WDI, the agriculture sector contributing 12.68 % to the GDP and supplying employment for 38.58% (% of total employment) of the population in 2019. A polarity of Bangladeshis earns their livelihood from agriculture. The recital of this sector has a laudable collision on the particular economic development of the country. To disentangle a farmer beginning the swamp of poverty and boost food fabrication, storage, and provide, agricultural credit is important. The key aim of the study is to analyze the prospects and problems of agricultural credit loans of RAKUB, Bangladesh. The execution of agriculture credit plans in RAKUB is hindered by many tribulations. These tribulations and others topics immediately the significant role of agricultural credit bent the origin of discussion in this study.

Abstract:

This article argues that the so-called Chinese string of pearls policy needs to be examined from the perspectives of those small countries of this maritime region that are said to be supporting Chinese strategic interests in the region by providing naval bases to China. Bangladesh neither has compelling strategic reasons to be part of an anti-India policy nor is its economy dependent only on the Chinese economy—a situation which could have pushed it into such a strategy. Therefore, apprehensions of the Indian strategic community of Sino-Bangladeshi relations constituting a larger anti-India design are somewhat misplaced. Bangladesh is likely to continue to pursue a policy of making best of its relations with both countries, even though an anti-India bias in certain sections of Bangladeshi society and politics will persist. In the post-Cold War, countries are focused on how to reap the dividends of economic globalisation and such hostile policies are anachronistic and counterproductive especially from the point of view of countries like Bangladesh that are small in terms of overall national capabilities. It is, therefore, argued that China–Bangladesh relations are flourishing in their own right, by and large free from the Indian shadow.

Abstract:

After remaining low throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Bangladesh's trade deficits (as percent of GDP) with India have been rising sharply since 1993. The size of its illegal trade deficits with India is also large and perceived to be rising since the early 1990s. Thus, instead of interdependence between two trading neighbours at the same stage of development, the Bangladesh-India trade relations suggest an absolute dependence of Bangladesh on India. The debate that has now generated in Bangladesh from such a onesided trade flow has two polar themes. At one extreme are those commentators who consider Bangladesh's large and growing trade deficits with India as a "natural and positive development" on the grounds that India is believed to be at a higher stage of development and to have gained technological maturity in the production of those goods that Bangladesh imports from India. The alternative view is that Bangladesh's large and growing trade deficits are a recent phenomenon and have nothing to do with India's technological maturity or prowess. As an explanation, such deficits are c9nsidered to be the result both of India's deep devaluation policy and tariff and non-t~ff barriers to Bangladesh's exports to its markets. This paper examines the disaggregated structure of trade, as well as the revealed comparative advantage of Bangladesh and India and finds no support for the thesis of Bangladesh's technological imports from India on grounds of their maturity. It then examines the sensitivity of trade flows between the two countries to exchange rates and the possible role of trade liberalisation in generating trade deficits within the framework of intra-industry trade models for differentiated products. The available evidence suggests that through subsidies, interventions and deep devaluation policy, India has artificially created a comparative advantage over Bangladesh in differentiaied products. India has also managed to keep its markets closed for Bangladesh's products despite trade negotiations, between the governments. This gives credence to the suggestion that Bangladesh's trade with India is neither fair nor competitive. Finally, the paper considers the political economy of the large and growing trade imbalances between them before drawing policy conclusions.

Abstract:

The purpose of this article is to examine the prospect of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) from the perspective of Bangladesh. The article investigates fundamental aspects of China’s economic involvement in Bangladesh to understand the geo-economic basis of the initiative. In this respect, the objective and motivation behind Chinese involvement in Bangladesh’s economy are studied, and the political and economic challenges emanating from the participation of the latter country in the initiative are outlined. Methodologically, this research adopts a qualitative approach and relies on primary sources to collect data. It concludes with an observation that Chinese investments through BRI could, in the long term, be advantageous for Bangladesh’s economy as long as the regional and economic issues associated with the initiative are appropriately dealt with. Besides, it suggests that the success of the initiative in South Asia, as well as in Bangladesh, requires a collaborative effort from all the states of the region on functional issue areas such as trade and connectivity.

Abstract:

The growth experiences of women-owned Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the context of a developing economy are examined through the lens of pragmatism. This approach views a businesswoman’s ‘belief’, ‘habit’ and ‘doubt’ as critical for researching gender related issues in entrepreneurship. This study explains the growth aspects of women-owned manufacturing and services SMEs of Bangladesh with the aim of addressing two neglected research issues. One is the scarcity of studies on growth oriented women entrepreneurs in developing countries. The other is the lack of focus on very successful high-growth women-owned firms in the context of a strong male-dominated economy. This study adopts a framework developed out of the Diana International Project to evaluate the factors influencing the growth of these successful, growing, Bangladeshi women-owned businesses. In order to evaluate the growth process itself, this framework was then modified with growth resources and actions as explained by Edith Penrose in her 1959 seminal book The Theory of Growth of the Firm. This allows for the investigation of the effects of managerial and entrepreneurial abilities in growth, and the identification of how firms achieve growth. A multiple-case design is adopted, covering sixteen successful growth-oriented firms in the manufacturing and services sector. SMEs were studied as the basis for firm growth from initial venture creation, while the sector concentration on manufacturing and services reflects the urban nature of the study in examining firms that exist in the capital city of Dhaka. Data from in-depth interviews and supporting documents were used for the case studies and integrated with the theoretical framework. Themes were categorised and patterns compared against the framework. The results of this research suggest that SME growth is a process which is gradual and iterative, comprising a series of growth strategies and approaches. The framework identifies interactive connection between different growth variables and highlights how industry sector and the national context of a growing economy facilitate growth of women-owned SMEs. The case study based research seeks to advance scholarship in relation to women’s entrepreneurship globally and contribute to the understanding of growth oriented women’s entrepreneurship. Building upon existing knowledge, this research endeavours to generate new insights and advance theoretical discourse by providing richness and subtlety to the knowledge of growth process and opening up new avenues for future research.

Abstract:

Climate-related natural disasters are increasing, leading to devastating physical, environmental and socioeconomic impacts. Among the efforts to address these impacts, disaster risk reduction (DRR) is one of the major approaches. The disaster risk reduction (DRR) approach strives for reducing disaster risk through systematic and comprehensive efforts to address the causal factors of disasters (UNISDR, 2016). Climate change is widely acknowledged for increasing the scale and intensity of disasters. Therefore, a growing body of literature stresses the necessity to link climate change adaptation (CCA) with DRR. the climate change adaptation (CCA) approach strives for adjustment to climate change stimuli or their effects, in order to reduce their adverse impacts or exploit beneficial opportunities (IPCC, 2014). DRR and CCA share common objectives in reducing vulnerability and increasing resilience. Effective linkages should help to ensure coherent, effective and efficient responses to current and future climate-related disasters. However, integrating interventions for DRR and CCA remains a challenge because these concepts originated from, and are articulated by, distinct researchers and practitioners. DRR and CCA works are often undertaken in isolation, resulting in overlapping effort and inefficient use of resources. Moreover, this is particularly problematic for resource-constrained countries, because they are constantly struggling with the challenge of scarce resources, and inconsistent arrangement of a diverse range of policies, actors, and institutions surrounding DRR and CCA. These complex challenges can be better understood from the perspective of political economy, which mainly deals with the influence of powerful decision makers, resource distribution mechanisms, and government’s interactions with stakeholders. The political economy analysis would enhance understandings of how actions and funding allocation decisions of DRR and CCA by different value-reach institutions and actors are motivated or influenced by different interests, incentives and ideas. By extension, it can also help to identify the social, political and economic factors underpinning the success of each action. Thus, taking a political economy perspective will not only improve understanding of the complexity surrounding decision making on DRR- and CCA-related policies, and different governance and planning systems, but also be useful for exploring the challenges of and solutions to facilitating the integration of both. An extensive literature review shows that a significant knowledge gap exists surrounding how DRR and CCA can be integrated in different contexts. No study has examined the political economy interplay surrounding DRR, CCA and their integration in resource-constrained least developed countries., such as Bangladesh. For all these reasons, the current research conducted an empirical investigation of the challenges of and opportunities for integrating DRR and CCA in Bangladesh from a political economy perspective. A mix of qualitative and quantitative methods was applied to the Bangladesh case study. The quantitative data from statistical reports, official documents of funding distribution, and questionnaire survey were analysed and integrated using panel data regression analysis and structural equation modeling to identify the determinants of DRR- and CCA-related funding distributions to districts of Bangladesh. The qualitative data from policy documents, government reports and 38 in-depth interviews (IDIs) with stakeholders of DRR and CCA at national, district and subdistrict levels were analysed through thematic and content analysis to explore the challenges and opportunities confronting integration of DRR and CCA. The panel data regression analysis found that some political economy characteristics: (a) the electoral cycle, and (b) number of votes received by the party in power influence CCA-related fund transfers by the Bangladesh Climate Change Trust Fund to districts of Bangladesh. SEM identified that particular political economy factors, specifically, the power and authority, interests and incentives, institutions, values and ideas of the influential decision makers, influence decisions regarding DRR-related fund distributions in Bangladesh. These findings suggest that political economy factors will also influence integration of DRR and CCA efforts. Review of 28 DRR- and CCA-related policies revealed that significant progress has been achieved in the integration of DRR- and CCA-related policies and regulatory frameworks. However, integration of DRR and CCA is currently much less evident in environment-related policies and other sectoral policies. Interestingly, CCA-related documents significantly incorporated disaster risk, whereas current DRR policy instruments mostly focus on post-disaster impacts rather than on climate change vulnerability. From the in-depth interviews, SEM and panel data analysis, key challenges to effective DRR and CCA integration were: i) resources and funding mechanisms; ii) lack of coordination and collaboration; iii) implementation and mainstreaming; iv) scale mismatches; v) lack of effective governance; vi) political, social and cultural structures; vii) competing actors and institutions; viii) inadequate information-, communication-, and knowledge sharing; ix) lack of community involvement; x) policy gaps; and xi) difficulty in distinguishing DRR-CCA from development works. IDIs along with SEM and panel data analysis also confirmed that political economy factors—interests and incentives, institutions, and values ideas— influence the distribution of public funds of DRR and CCA, as well as selection of location and beneficiaries. Adverse use of political economy factors leads to resource control capture by elite actors, resulting in overlapping efforts and inefficient use of resources. Based on the IDIs and the other findings, key opportunities and recommendations for effective integration of DRR and CCA for national and local government and other stakeholders include: i) managing more funds and ensuring better funding mechanisms; ii) using an improved governance framework; iii) maintaining active coordination and collaboration; iv) developing innovation and adaptation; v) integrating and updating policies; vi) integrating DRR-CCA within development work; vii) involving communities and listening to local voices; viii) developing a new platform for integrating DRR-CCA; ix) using political will and leadership; x) harmony prevailing in power relations; xi) research-, information- and knowledge-sharing. The current research has contributed to the knowledge of DRR, CCA, and the integration of their efforts through investigation of a country-level case study in Bangladesh. It provides concrete examples of the issues and challenges confronting integration of DRR and CCA in Bangladesh. This research has also demonstrated the utility of examining these challenges from a political economy perspective. Further, it lays the groundwork for future research and action towards effective linking of these approaches. Finally, the findings and recommendations of this study could inform policy and practices to promote DRR-CCA integration for more efficient use of resources.

Full text

Abstract:

The political economy of forest use in Bangladesh provides the context for an analysis of social forestry (hereafter, SF) programmes of the government. SF is viewed in this thesis within the wider history of forest use and not as an isolated technical strategy for afforestation. The history is marked by a progressive emphasis on commercial interests. The consequences have been: the monetization of forest use; downgrading of the scope for community management of forests; the curtailment of local rights; and the systematic alienation of local people from forest management. These particular attributes of commercialization have added fuel to conflict between the state and local communities. Public antipathy to the state's role in forest commercialization undermined the state's attempt to continue public sector forestry management singlehandedly. Some form of public participation was required. SF was launched with the stated goal of empowering local communities in forest management and as an answer to alienation problem. But SF's achievements have been insignificant. Its marginal performance can be attributed to an unfavourable political-economic environment (referred to in the thesis as 'the frame'). The 'frame' includes the rural power structures; public policies and government offices; local government institutions; land ownership and tenurial arrangements; market (for forests products) and commercial agents; and international donor agencies. SF's performance is regulated by these variables, which are generally not conductive to achieving its lofty goals. Although the stated goals remain largely unrealised, SF does, however, further certain strategic but nonetheless tacit interests of the national government and international donors.

Abstract:

The main objective of the present study is to identify the extent of corporate internet reporting practices in an emerging economy through the extent of disclosing mandatory and voluntary information on the internet. It also addresses the determinants of such reporting practices. It uses sample from Bangladesh, an emerging capital market with few disclosure studies regarding corporate internet reporting. To measure the extent of mandatory and voluntary disclosure two self constructed checklists were used. The results of the checklist are analysed in total and by different categories. By using a sample size of 234 companies, both bivariate and multivariate analysis is performed to identify the determinants of mandatory and voluntary disclosure on the internet. The result indicates that about 90.70% companies have websites and all of them disclose a small amount of corporate information. While the extent of mandatory reporting is 66.24%, the extent of voluntary reporting is 35.46%. The telecommunication sector discloses the highest amount of mandatory information and the banking sector discloses the highest amount of voluntary information on the internet. The tannery sector discloses the lowest amount of mandatory and voluntary information. The result also reveals that audit firm’s international link, independent directors in the board and dual leadership structure have significant positive association and profitability measured by ROE has significant negative association with the level of disclosing of mandatory and voluntary information by the Bangladeshi companies. Although firm size, multinational parent, and industry type have significant positive association with the level of disclosing voluntary information, they are non-significant in mandatory disclosure. In addition, board size, ownership structure and company age has non- significant association with the level of both mandatory and voluntary disclosure. By providing the current status of disclosing mandatory and voluntary information on the internet, this study contributes to reduce the existing gap in the literature relating to emerging economies and helps to identify the need for international standards for this type of reporting.

Islam, Qamarullah Bin Tariq. "Financial liberalisation, bank excess liquidity and lending : a bank-level study for the economy of Bangladesh." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2016. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/7271/.

Full text

Abstract:

One of the main aims of financial liberalisation was to increase banking sector competition. Different policies were prescribed for this with one of the ultimate objectives being that banks would be able to lend without any constraint. If banks are able to lend their deposits fully then there will be no excess liquidity in the banking sector; even a significant increase of lending will imply reduction in excess liquidity. However, it is observed that although the process of financial liberalisation started around the early 1990s for most of the developing economies, still there is substantial excess liquidity problem in the banking sector in these countries, including Bangladesh. This study examined the possible reasons for excess liquidity and lending in Bangladesh using bank-level data of 37 banks for the period of 1997-2011 applying panel estimation methods. The first empirical chapter analysed how financial liberalisation affected the excess liquidity situation in banks. The second chapter examined how excess liquidity was related with business cycle and the recent financial crisis. The final empirical chapter looked at how financial liberalisation was related to lending. One key contribution of this study is that it applied an index of financial liberalisation to identify the process and its effect more comprehensively. Another important contribution of this research is to see if there were any definite patterns for different bank typologies. To address this, four bank-specific characteristics of ownership, size, mode of operation and age were used. Financial liberalisation was found to have significant positive relationship with excess liquidity as well as for lending for all types of banks. It was also observed that business cycle had a significant positive impact on excess liquidity. However less significant relationship between the financial crisis and excess liquidity showed the resilience of the banking sector in Bangladesh during the crisis. When bank-specific characteristics were analysed, the results showed that public banks had higher growth of excess liquidity and lower lending than private banks and new banks had lower growth of excess liquidity and higher lending than old banks. No definite differences could be observed between Islamic and conventional banks. It was also observed that public banks acted less procyclically than the private banks while large and new banks acted more procyclically than their counterparts. For the recent financial crisis, it is concluded that large and new banks had more excess liquidity than their counterparts while other typologies were found to be indifferent. Analysis of significant positive impact of financial liberalisation on both lending and excess liquidity suggested that prudent lending by banks to avoid loan default in the face of increased risk was a key for this parallel movement. Differences in interest rate according to bank-specific characteristics are found to be influential for the significant variations according to bank typologies.

Full text

Abstract:

Conventional social sciences literature usually presents decentralisation as a means of achieving development and democracy. The present thesis, however, argues that the significance of decentralisation and local government is rooted in the specific material conditions of a society which in turn are reflected in the nature of the state stemming out of it. In a developed capitalist society, the local state helps to reduce the variable costs of accumulation to private capital through its 'social investments' and 'social expenditures' and legitimises bourgeois institutions as humane and benevolent providers of social services. Nevertheless, in the developed capitalist societies, because of the development of the productive forces and the existence of an organised working class, the local state can also be used as an arena of class struggle against the hegemonic bourgeois class. While decentralisation and local government support the process of private accumulation and political legitimation in the peripheral capitalist societies as well, the difference in the material conditions of society there and the corresponding class nature of the state make for substantial differences in the character and functions of local government. The absence of a single hegemonic class brings different fractions of contending classes into coalition in order to control the state because control of the state is central to the whole process of accumulation. Local government in these societies provides the central state with an institutional basis on which to forge and extend the class alliance on which the state is based. As peripheral capitalist accumulation is not dependent on the indigenous production system, the provision of social investment and social expenditure is not intended to support the reproduction of labour power in general, but rather to secure the support of class alliance. State-induced development initiatives are designed as a patronage distribution system for the local power structure in order to serve their support to the central power bloc. Local government in Bangladesh since 1958 has been used by military-bonapartist regimes to create local support through a patron-client network. Because of this the potential of local government institutions to act as a viable means of progress and social change has been arrested. However, the potential still remains if progressive social and political forces could be realigned for enlarging the class consciousness of the rural majority, enabling it to participate authentically and more fully in the political process at local and national levels.

Abstract:

The wide variety of economic activities, which prevail along the coasts, has either direct or indirect connectivity with the coastal ecosystems through its provisioning of a diverse range of goods and services. However, these systems are permanently under pressure due to natural and anthropogenic threats. This field based study documents the changing pattern of economic activities along selected coastal stretches in South Asia at Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka. Economic activities vary with coastal ecosystem types and service flows there from. Field study sites were identified based on multiple meetings and discussions with the policy makers in each of the countries and they continued to be the part of scientific discussions within ecology-economy framework through the project lifetime. In depth enquiry and analysis were carried out to understand perception of various economic stakeholder groups to natural and anthropogenic threats in the coastal regions and resultant vulnerability and risks. Often threats get intensified by rapid urbanization triggered by changing pattern of coastal economy due to tourism expansion and modernization of traditional activities.

Full text

Abstract:

Bangladesh, like most countries, grappled with the harsh conditions of Covid-19, with little infrastructure and set up of institutions to deal with the consequences of the pandemic. A country with a large informal economy, and an even larger export manufacturing sector it is highly dependent on, the Bangladesh government had tough decisions to make when it came to saving and protecting the lives of millions, as well as ensuring continued economic activity to save livelihoods. To strike a balance between protecting both these important factors, the central government adopted a unique approach of mobilising and enabling the local government to implement a lot of measures. Their approach was area centric, in that the local government recognised the needs of their districts, and that looked different for different areas of the country, whether rural or urban, agricultural or industrial focused. This policy brief outlines some of the local measures and responses that worked in minimising the impact of Covid-19 on the dense Bangladeshi population.

Khene, Caroline, and Kevin Hernandez. Digitalisation of State Services in Bangladesh. Institute of Development Studies, May 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/clear.2024.001.

Full text

Abstract:

The government-led digital strategy in Bangladesh began well before the Covid-19 pandemic; the pandemic itself simply accelerated the digitalisation of public services globally. This report examines digital innovations across essential public services in Bangladesh, particularly those spurred on by the Covid-19 pandemic. It highlights major accountability and access outcomes, especially for marginalised groups across different capacities, identities, and geographic regions. The report looks at digitalisation experiences in key areas, including education, health, social protection, accountability, and addressing violence against women. While the pandemic accelerated these efforts, it also revealed persistent digital inequalities in terms of access, capacity, and structural factors such as human capital, political economy, and social and cultural norms. Rather than framing technology as an automatically efficiency-enhancing tool, the report illustrates on the ground realities and constructs a more nuanced perspective. It positions technology as an enabler in realising better futures together, while also underscoring challenges around digital rights and government oversight. The report calls for deliberative approaches in designing digital public services, enabling digital ethics in regulation, and gathering critical data on minority groups, connectivity, and actual digital service users. This frames technology as part of a broader, inclusive development agenda, rather than an ends in itself.

Full text

Abstract:

The CLARISSA programme aims to understand the dynamics that are central to running a business in the informal economy in Bangladesh’s leather industry and explore how and why worst forms of child labour become a feature of business operations. This research paper explores the findings from semi-structured interviews with business owners operating enterprises involved in leather processing and production across three prominent neighbourhoods and business districts in and around Dhaka. A focus on the leather industry in Bangladesh is an opportunity to explore the demand side of the child labour issue in a situated way, with the intention of bringing the lived experience of business owners to pre-existing literature on poverty entrepreneurship, supply chain governance, and political economy. The paper details the risks and stressors business owners face, the relationships they have with other informal and formal enterprises in the supply chain system, and their rationale for hiring children. Business owners experience poverty and financial precarity, taking significant financial risks to sustain enterprises that are barely viable economically. Stuck in vicious operating cycles, on ‘produce now, pay later’ credit arrangements, enterprises respond by squeezing labour budgets. The need for cheap labour is amplified by price points at lower than the cost of production. To understand why child labour has been so difficult to ‘end’, an informal economy business perspective points to the economic dysfunction of complex supply chains, particularly mediated by downward financial pressures produced and reproduced by highly fragmented manufacturing processes in cost-driven markets. When poverty and precarity among informal economy business owners intersects with formal economy power, the result is business models that rely on children as cheap labour. The findings make clear the policy value of engaging business owners in the informal economy in efforts to reduce worst forms of child labour, especially given the insights they can offer about how, when, and why supply chain systems are at risk of depending on children for the provision of goods and services.

Full text

Abstract:

In response to the rapid influx of Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar, south-east Bangladesh, Oxfam implemented a Fresh Food Voucher (FFV) programme in August 2017. Vouchers were distributed on a monthly basis from January 2018 to August 2019, with funding from ECHO and the DEC. The intervention aimed to ensure dignified access to a wide range of fresh food for vulnerable and food-insecure refugee households and to improve their nutritional status. The programme also aimed to support the local economy by making goods available from local market vendors, who sourced produce locally where possible. This report presents the key findings of the evaluation of the initiative, with lessons and recommendations. It is hoped that this will prove useful for agencies using voucher programming in the Rohingya response and elsewhere. It is also a contribution to the wider influencing agenda around market-based programming, including cash and vouchers.

Full text

Abstract:

Bangladesh is a significant labor-sending country, with about 7.8 million Bangladeshis working abroad. Major destinations for migrant workers are the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Female migrants represent 12 percent of the migration flow, with a majority engaged as domestic workers. Migration to GCC countries is characterized by short-term temporary migration, migration of low- and semi-skilled workers, laborers with low literacy level, debt-financed migration, and often migration through unofficial channels. The overseas labor recruitment industry often leaves migrants susceptible to human trafficking, forced labor, and modern slavery. Also, many migrants return empty-handed and with huge debt. The Population Council in partnership with the Global Fund to End Modern Slavery (GFEMS) undertook a study to better understand survivors’ and stakeholders’ perspectives on the kinds of policies, programs, and initiatives that could facilitate safer overseas labor migration for Bangladeshi migrant workers. A qualitative study was conducted with returned migrants in Faridpur and Munshiganjs, Bangladesh. These locations also served as an assessment of an intervention for economic and social reintegration. A stakeholder consultation provided an opportunity for participants to reflect on the study findings and brainstorm about research, program gaps, and recommendations.

Full text

Abstract:

Bangladesh has made remarkable progress in achieving over 90% primary enrollment with significantly improved gender parity. Its focus has now shifted from universal primary education towards the quality of education and improvements in teaching outcomes. In order to meet this goal, the government has turned to the merits that EdTech can offer and is implementing a blended learning approach that integrates both digital and physical elements, and balances creative and logical aspects to strengthen its progress and address Bangladesh’s current educational challenges. In partnership with EdTech Hub, this Spotlight contributes to identifying EdTech innovations that have a great potential to be scaled and are being impactfully implemented in the context of Bangladesh and beyond, to directly address and support the learning needs of children, as well as supporting education stakeholders such as educators, parents, and communities coming from varying social and economic backgrounds. We sought a range of hi- to low-tech solutions, encompassing everything from SMS-based technologies and game-based learning to school management systems. These innovations target various educational stakeholders, including teachers, students, and administrators. This Spotlight also demonstrates how private and public sector players fit in the EdTech innovation ecosystem.
