Democratic Governance
With around half the population under the poverty line and a governance framework largely following colonial traditions, public institutions in Bangladesh are sorely inadequate for formulating and carrying out pro-poor action plans. BDI has embarked on several research initiatives surrounding generating pressure for government reform at local, national, and judiciary levels:
- Evaluating how best to create and implement mechanisms of citizen engagement in local government so that poor people can exercise control over local institutions and government resources
- Generating knowledge on the efforts of poor and marginalised groups to define and claim their rights through an analysis of their relationships with existing institutions
- Finding methods of extending access to justice for the poor
