| Summary, etc. |
Deliberation in the paper centres around deconcentration and delegation of administrative powers in Bangladesh. The focus is on the relationship between ministries and departments as well as between ministries and corporations. Though functions of ministries/divisions have been clearly spelled out essentially as policy formulation, planning, and evaluation of executed plans, these entities get involved in the designated responsibilities of departments/directorates and autonomous bodies/corporations. Bangladesh's experience with deconcentration and delegation is unsatisfactory. But this situation can be changed if political commitment is there in favour of transfer of power between and among public organisations. Also decentralisation policies of the government need to be supported by broader segments of the population. Attitudinal changes must take place among civil servants in terms of sharing power with each other. - Reproduced. |
