Bangladesh's second chance
Article Abstract:
The successful elections in Bangladesh in June 1996 have opened up immense opportunities for economic development and industrial growth. The holding of free and fair elections by the caretaker government, the army's cooperation and the high voter turnout have contributed towards restoring the democratic tradition and ending the 1994-95 parliamentary crisis. Non-governmental organizations have played an important role in increasing public awareness of the country's problems. Institutions such as the Grameen Bank, which offers credits to the poor, have contributing greatly to rural development.
