Seeking int’l support for development
We support PM’s call
Share on facebook0Share on twitterMore Sharing Services?
WE echo the prime minister’s call to the development partners gathered at the Bangladesh Development Forum for their sustained support to Bangladesh in its pursuit of unimpeded development. The premier is justified in making the appeal to the international community given the country’s extraordinary success in achieving most of the targets of the MDGs, all the while sustaining a steady rate of six-plus annual GDP growth despite a global economic meltdown and political unrest here at home.
Going forward, we, however, face some formidable hurdles, namely, energy sector reform, infrastructure development and competitiveness as per recommendations of some development partners. Reforms are necessary in the pricing policy to attract investment in the energy sector and the tax-GDP ratio has to increase to arrange financing in the infrastructure sector, according to a senior official of the IMF who also stressed the importance of generating more revenue from domestic resources and removing the barriers of doing business.
All these are sound economic advice. But to what extent these policies will actually work depends largely on good governance which also includes aid utilisation and public safety. Reportedly, more than half of financing of social and physical infrastructure still comes from foreign aid. That being the case, efficient utilisation of aid and the implementation of programmes, assume importance.
Therefore, improving governance and safety – preconditions for foreign investment and aid – should be the priority in the 7th Five Year Plan and the government, civil society organisations, academia, private sector and development partners should work together towards reaching this shared goal.

Dire state of Dalits
Introduce affirmative action
Share on facebook0Share on twitterMore Sharing Services?
WE are appalled by the level of discrimination that 5.5 million Dalits in the country have been subjected to. We laud Bangladesh Harijan Oikya Parishad, Friends Association for Integrated Revolution and Manusher Jonno Foundation for conducting a survey on one of the most marginalised communities among us. But for the report a dark aspect of our society would have remained unknown to us. It is beyond belief that in such a day and age, a segment of our society should be living in such a decrepit state.
It is preposterous that Dalit children are not allowed to enrol in most of the schools; in the others, they are subject to bullying by teachers and fellow students for their parents’ profession. It is even worse at the tertiary level where only 25 Dalit students were admitted last year. It is no less than shocking that in these times, the Dalits are not allowed to have food with the others.
The unjust and prejudicial treatment of the Dalits stands in clear violation of the country’s constitution, which categorically prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, religion, gender or ethnicity. Despite this, the crimes committed against the Dalits seem to be going on unabated. This demands a string of affirmative actions for all-round progress of this and other marginalised groups. To do that, we must concentrate on capacity building and strict enforcement of the quota system for Dalits in educational institutions where members of the community live. A mass awareness campaign against such practice is also in order.
