1. Member of the Economic Research Group (ERG) research team in the project “Baseline Surveys to Track and Document Government Service Delivery Mechanism for Bangladesh Investment Climate Fund (BICF) Program Phase II” during the period December 2017 –December 2018. The objective of the project was to assist the World Bank Group (WBG) Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Cell to conduct a number of baseline surveys to track the Government to Business (G2B) service delivery mechanisms for a selected set of government services for businesses, and to document perception and recommendation on G2B services and opportunities for further improvements.
Main responsibilities: Undertook review of literature, designed process mapping, developed survey questionnaires, analyzed data and reported the findings of G2B service delivery of BSTI (Certification Mark License) and EPB (GSP Certificate of Origin).
2. Member of the ERG research team in the project “Innovative mSE Financing Products and Delivery Channels in Bangladesh: Opportunities and Challenges” during the period November 2017 – August 2018. The objective of the project (which was funded by the UK Aid and implemented by Bangladesh Bank and Monetary Regulatory Authority, Bangladesh) was to understand the regulatory barriers in launching, operationalizing, pilot-testing and up-scaling innovative financing products and delivery channels, as well as to understand the regulators’ views on the justifications of keeping regulations so that an enabling regulatory environment is created to ease the financing constraints faced by mSEs and recommend areas of further improvement.
Main responsibilities: Conducted detailed survey of the literature to identify relevant international experience, participated in conducting interviews and FGDs of the relevant stakeholders and took part in writing the report and presenting the findings. [Link]
