HOW WE TRANSFORM THE GOVERNMENT

CURRENTLY ON TOP OF OUR MINDS

Engage and empower the whole of Bangladeshi society to co-create novel solutions to development challenges and boost their chances of making impact at scale.

Using ICT-led innovation to make education more enjoyable, accessible and available for anyone-anywhere-anytime, while enabling teachers to share and co-create content. And Leveraging the “demographic dividend” by empowering youth through meaningful skills most demanded by the market.

Enable tracking Bangladesh’s progress towards attainment of SDGs and other national development goals through a web-based information repository.

Using ICTs as enabler and empathy as the catalyst, service delivery mechanisms are being innovated making essential public services available to citizens in least time, cost and visits required to access these services.

Empower civil servants to place themselves in citizens’ shoes and motivate them with a sense of purpose for driving improvements in public service delivery.

Encouraging, incentivizing and implementing empathy-triggered innovations on empowering persons with disabilities through making services accessible and available to them.

A citizen-centered approach to building an inclusive digital financial ecosystem by catalyzing low-cost, interoperable digital payment systems that solve last-mile delivery challenges and fostering innovation of pro-poor financial products.

Traditionally, knowledge and insights on innovations and information & communication technologies (ICTs) to improve public service delivery tended to flow from countries of the global North to those of the South.
