  • Do Political Economy Factors Influence Funding Allocations for Disaster Risk Reduction?

The study analysed data from self-reported surveys from 133 members of the sub-district level disaster management committee and government officials working with DRR. Employing the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method, we find that political economy factors explain 68% of the variance in funding allocations. We also show that four categories of political economy factors—power and authority, interest and incentives, institutions, and values and ideas—are significantly influential over the distribution of DRR funding across subdistricts of Bangladesh. Our findings offer important policy implications to reduce the potential risks surrounding political economy influences in fund allocation and advance climate Citation: Islam, Shafiqul, Khondker finance literature.

The disaster killed an estimated 160 persons, including 115 persons in Rangamati alone. According to the Chittagong Divisional Health Office Control Room Report, a total of 187 injured persons were admitted in local level hospitals. Approximately 85% of patients were admitted in Rangamati. While landslide related disaster occurs nearly every year, the second highest death toll of 127 deceased persons was recorded in 2007 [Disaster Forum, June 2017]. Monsoon rains caused severe flooding in low-lying areas to significantly damage road and communication infrastructure. Flood water rendered remote communities in Bandarban, Chittagong, and Rangamati districts were inaccessible by road. On June 14th, mudslides in southeast Bangladesh claimed additional lives in Cox's Bazaar and Khagrachari districts to further damage homes and infrastructure.

  • Trust Within Field Bureaucracy: a Study on District Administration in Bangladesh
    Trust within Field Bureaucracy: A study on District Administration in Bangladesh Muhammad Anisuzzaman Thesis submitted for examination for the degree of Master of Public Policy and Governance. 2012 Master in Public Policy and Governance Program Department of General and Continuing Education North South University, Bangladesh i Dedication..... To my parents Without their love and support, I would be nowhere. i Abstract This study attempts to explore the dynamics of trust within the field bureaucracy in Bangladesh with special focus to find determining factors of interpersonal trust, and to analyze the relationship between trust in coworkers and trust in subordinate. The study uses the method of questionnaire survey to investigate interpersonal trust of the employees in three Deputy Commissioners offices located in Comilla, Rangamati and Gaziur. This study takes an important step forward by detailing how trust within local level bureaucratic workplace is influenced by socioeconomic background of the employees, personal traits of coworkers as well as personal and leadership characteristics of the superiors. It examines a number of hypotheses related to trust and socioeconomic background as well as interpersonal traits of the employees inside the organization. This study does not find relations of gender with interpersonal trust. It is found that gender does not play role in making trust in organization. Female may put higher trust than male in other societal relations but in working environment trust is not influenced by male-female issue. In case of age variable, the study finds that within a bureaucratic organization in developing country like Bangladesh old aged employees are more trusting and the middle aged employees within organization are less trusting.
