The overall objective of the programme is institutional research co-operation on issues relevant to the poor in Bangladesh, support policy-relevant research and to build capacity that may contribute to improved governance and inclusive growth in Bangladesh.
Research focus is on inclusive growth and good governance. The areas to be covered:
This is a a three-year research and capacity building programme between the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD), Bangladesh, and Chr. Michelsen Institute (CMI), funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). CMI has more than 50 years’ experience in research, consultancy and capacity building in Bangladesh.
In addition to institutional co-operation, the key objective is to identify main obstacles and suggest remedies for problems of democratic institutionalisation and poverty reduction. The Programme will also contribute to capacity and knowledge building in both Bangladesh and Norway.
This new co-operation programme will enable CMI to strengthen its country-specific competence, but it will also make it possible for CMI to create and support a broader network of researchers and students working in and on Bangladesh. Dissemination and research communication are key components.
CPD and CMI will also collaborate with the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS).
Senior Researcher Arne Wiig is the contact person at CMI while Dr Khondaker Golam Moazzem is the contact person at CPD.
