System analysis is usually intricate in nature. Stakeholder analysis is an integral part of system analysis. The analysis of the system of public service delivery organization of Bangladesh shows the disappointment of top down approach. Political actors, bureaucrats and civil society are linked with this systematic arrangement. Political actors are corrupted by themselves. They cannot make sure answerability of the bureaucrats towards them and ultimately to the citizen. Again, civil society does not congregate the necessity of the community.
Poor or marginalized groups suffer more in the top down system. This system fails to combat corruption at every stage of the service delivery. Therefore, only bottom up approach of community participation can enhance better services to the community. This approach can intertwine more networks into the community. These networks can build up awareness among the community members to fight against corruption. Therefore, bottom up approach is the key to reduce corruption in the system.

Hi Wasif,
ReplyDeleteYour comment 'Political actors are corrupted by themselves' definately rings true for me. When I was in India the tourist police tried to get a bribe from me for riding a motorbike without an Indian license. They were heavily in debt for paying a bribe so that they could get the tourist police job in the first place. In this sense they had chosen to corrupt themselves through a top down system. It is a complex issue as the corruption occurs in the context of poverty where people have limited choices and are competing for survival.
Hi Wasif Bhai
ReplyDeleteYes, the poor and marginalised people suffer most from the top down systems in Bangladesh. The present unchallenged nexus between the corrupt politicians and bureaucrats has made the situation worst than before. There is no specific answer how to break this nexus up, however, the mass people's awareness about the issue and their participation in the social struggle are important. Only the mass people can make politicians and bureacrates responsible to community people, but for it we need a big push, which must come from the grassroots level.
yes,I agree with you at this point. That is why community development and building its capacity is important.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI agree that corruption occurs due to poverty and so on. But poor people suffers because they do not have money to get the services done.
I'm Helena Julio from Ecuador,I want to talk good about Mr Pedro on this topic.
ReplyDeleteMr Pedro and his loan company gives me financial support when all bank in my city turned down my request to grant me a loan of 500,000.00 USD, I tried all i could to get a loan from my banks here in Ecuador but they all turned me down because my credit was low but with god grace I came to know about Mr Pedro on a loan platform so I decided to give a try to apply for the loan. With God willing they granted me a loan of 500,000.00 USD. The loan request that my banks here in Ecuador have turned me down for, it was really awesome doing business with them and my business is going well now. Email/ Contact if you wish to apply for a loan from them.
