NGO activities
Being a third world country, Bangladesh is burdened with many problems like over-population, poverty, pollution, poor education and health facilities etc. The present govt. has adopted many strategies and policies to overcome this situation doing their level best with the co-ordination of many NGOs across the country. But the recent activities of many NGOs are not much satisfactory to boost the socio-economic and infrastructural development as they are busy collecting funds from donor countries. But they have inadequate capacity to implement the programmes. However, it is true that NGOs play the most important role to empower women to make them self-reliant launching many projects like micro-credit programmes and they have already attained many success in the rural areas of the country. But the problem is that there are many NGOs which have no registration at all but they are still running their network countrywide. Innocent people in villages may be cheated by a group of dishonest persons who sometimes show their fake documents to grab money and after managing that they move away. So, there should be accountability and transparency in the NGOs' activities.
