This book analyses efforts of Bangladeshi government and NGOs to
strengthen local governance, and identifies the challenges posed by
collaboration with NGOs. Presenting a dominantly qualitative study,
the analysis explores whether engagement between the Sharique
project to strengthen local governance and the Union Parishads has
translated into success. In doing so, it argues that evidence
points to a positive impact on institutionalising good governance
and fiscal autonomy through widening participation in planning and
decision-making, reinforcing accountability of functionaries and
enhancing tax collection. Furthermore, this book demonstrates that
the collaboration has aided the process of development of social
capital between officials of councils and NGOs, as well as amongst
the community members, encouraging future partnership governance.
However, with the phasing out of the project as a propelling force,
it also shows that the results fall short of being sustainable and,
as such, that statuary support, unequivocal political commitment,
and incentivising engagements are required to stabilise outcomes.
Bridging a gap in the Development Studies literature, this book
presents new findings on the collaboration of NGOs at the local
level. It will be of interest to academics working in the field of
South Asian Studies, Development Studies, and Asian Politics.
