This book analyzes the practice of local-level participatory
planning and budgeting and its impact on gender responsive
budgeting (GRB) in Bangladesh. The book offers a conceptual
framework that brings into focus the contribution of successful
participatory budgeting practice to ensure GRB - the examination of
whether men and women fall under existing income and expenditure
patterns differently. It suggests that the ideas of participatory
budgeting and GRB should be evolving together to provide a concrete
idea to address gender needs. The book provides a theoretical
explanation that contributes to the consolidation of the practice
of GRB at the local government level through participatory
budgeting. Conceptualizing the process of participatory budgeting
and GRB in the context of Bangladesh, the book will be of interest
to researchers in the field of Development Studies, Political
Science, Public Administration, and Gender, as well as Asian
Studies, in particular, South Asian Studies.
This book explores the impact of Bangladesh's Local Government Act
of 2009 on the functioning of the local governments or Union
Parishads (UP), with a particular emphasis on people's
participation and accountability. Throughout the chapters, the
authors review the existing legal framework of UP and its relation
to social accountability, examine how much of the social
participation is spontaneous and how much is politically induced,
question the success of the Citizen's Charter and Right to
Information acts as mechanisms for social accountability, and
present suggestions to remedy some of the problems facing people's
participation and accountability in the UP. This book fills
existing gaps in the discourse by adding new information to the
literature on development research and legal reforms in Bangladesh,
specifically in how those legal reforms have led to strengthening
or weakening people's participation in local government. The target
audience for this book are students and researchers in Asian
studies , international development studies, and public
administration, as well as practitioners working in the local
governments discussed.
