WAYS TO PROMOTE GOOD GOVERNANCE IN BANGLADESH OR IN A DEVELOPING COUNTRY

Promoting Good Governance 

•  Access of people to government offices should be made easier and the citizens’ charter should be displayed in all offices. 

•  Promotion of government officials should be based on efficiency, honesty, seniority, merit and commitment. 

•  The media should play an impartial, constructive and objective role to ensure good governance. 

•  In post-disaster management, activities of the government and NGOs should be coordinated so that some families do not receive more than the usual share of relief goods while many other families do not receive any relief at all. 

•  Peace in CHTs( Chittagong Hill Tracts) is the basic requirement for development in this region. Peace has to be maintained and promoted through creating a relationship of trust between the Paharies and Bengalee and by looking after the interests of all people living in the hill districts. Local government offices should be placed under the hill councils in line with the Peace accord. 

•  Local government elections in hill districts, which are long overdue, should be held to institutionalize democratic local government. 

•  Local government institutions should be strengthened.
