Book Info

This book, the third in the series, is on the budgetary process in Bangladesh and is written from the perspective of the poor. Based on a participatory research of IDPAA, PROSHIKA and conducted by Shamunnay, the book proposes an alternative framework of a pro-poor, gender-just and environment-sensitive national budget for Bangladesh. The study finds that despite some changes, the current budget-making process is complex, inefficient and non-transparent. It argues for a set of institutions that would be necessary for creating a favourable policy for poverty reduction. Using participatory techniques, the book illustrates how sectoral priorities and allocations can be reoriented within a changed paradigm of participatory development. A strong case for innovation and renovation of institutions has been made here for poverty eradication. The book addresses the issue of poverty from a perspective which can be particularly relevant given the renewed interest in finding ways and means for its eradication.

IDPAA

IDPAA Institute for Development Policy Analysis and Advocacy (IDPAA) is PROSHIKA’s policy institute. Founded in 1994, it provides systematic advocacy interventions for the creation of a macro policy environment committed to the eradication of poverty and promotion of sustainable development in Bangladesh. IDPAA views the roots of mass poverty in Bangladesh as structural in origin, and that necessary policy response to mass poverty must take place concurrently both at micro and macro levels. PROSHIKA, therefore, pursues a double mobilization and empowerment of poor rural and urban women and men, in developing programs for research, advocacy and policy analysis.
