Salma Mobarek: Local Resource Mobilization, Gebunden

Klappentext

Bangladesh has one of the most centralized local resource management systems among the Asian countries. It is, however, one of the lowest-performing regions in terms of local resource mobilization. The book focuses on the union council, otherwise known as a Union Parishads (UPs), which is the smallest rural local government unit in Bangladesh. It examines the legal provisions and practices in resource mobilization at UPs in order to understand the effect of resource mobilization on development activities and the obstacles encountered by UPs when attempting to mobilize resources. Based on extensive empirical research into UPs, which includes surveys, focus group discussions, interviews, as well as a review of government sources, working papers, and legal frameworks, the authors argue that current legal provisions and practices in local resource mobilization are unsuitable for their intended purpose, and suggests remedies and policy recommendations.
