Role of public Management in Poverty Alleviation in Bangladesh

Introduction:
Over the last few decades, the Government of Bangladesh has been implementing various programmes primarily to achieve two broad goals: rapid socio-economic development and drastic reduction of poverty. The population pressure is a major obstacle to achieving the twin objectives. The population pressure, defined broadly as the high rate of growth and the large size of the population, affects the pace of development and poverty reduction directly, as well as indirectly, via its effects on a large number of intermediate variables and proximate determinants of development and poverty reduction.

Problem Statement:
1) If the Government of Bangladesh (GOB) can be persuaded to design a holistic poverty alleviation strategy with the assistance of all stakeholders? 2) What should be the role of Public management in Bangladesh in the design and implementation different strategy? How can a political consensus be built around an agreed national strategy for poverty reduction? 3) Would the development budget properly used and allocate in order to alleviating poverty?

Supporting Information:
Poverty alleviation is the most important policy objective in Bangladesh, and almost all development initiatives either directly or indirectly attempt to contribute to this mammoth endeavour. Policymakers, development partners and researchers are trying collectively to fight against poverty for a long period of time. Different strategy paper, five years plan come into force in order to alleviate poverty from Bangladesh.

Recommendation:
1) As a general rule accountability to domestic stakeholders, including National Parliament or other elected legislative bodies, will be of critical importance. This will ensure against gross misuse of public funds and in favour of public spending priorities that reflect governments poverty-reduction

commitments. 2) An active policy-making by the Government for poverty reduction, including both national policies, and regional policies, where relevant; and a systematic monitoring system with agreed indicators and impact analysis. This requires a consolidated effort by donors and the Government and other development partners. 3) It is believed that inefficiency and widespread corruption of the government led to the proliferation of non-government organizations (NGOs) in Bangladesh. The number of NGOs has reached more than 20,000. Government should not neglect the role of NGOs. There should be strong coordination and from both side in order to alleviation poverty reduction.

4) Women empowerment should require in every aspect of our life because they are the half of our total population. embassies consulates should approach positively that

5) Bangladeshi

Bangladesh government is trying at their level best to fight against poverty. That may help to create a positive impression to the worldwide. 6) There is need for strengthening the poverty analysis, awareness and policy making at the country level. 7) Effective partnership requires a considerable investment of staff time, including senior-level government administrators, in order to develop trust and mutual understanding, as well as identifying opportunities for pursuing pro-poor approaches. 8) Accountability needs to be mutual, and not to fall disproportionately on the country government.

Conclusion:
The increasing population pressure dampens poverty reduction efforts in a resource constrained economy is a stylised fact. The pathways through which the socio-economic and demographic factors affect poverty are also well known. Poverty has to be operationally and uniformly defined. It needs to be examined as to which one of the available definitions is most applicable in the rural setting of Bangladesh to capture the maximum number of the poor and the disadvantaged group. A composite index of poverty may be more useful. Second, an appropriate mechanism of identification of the poor and the disadvantaged people needs to be devised. Thus Poverty alleviation should be the important goal of both national policy as well as the focal point of all aid policy.
