“Reform requires not only technical content but also substantial social and behavioural content. The social element of reform – what is in it for citizens – must be articulated. Citizens need to be educated about the reform to ensure that it serves their needs,” said Md Aziz Taher Khan, director of Central Procurement Technical Unit (CPTU), Implementation Monitoring and Evaluation Division (IMED), Ministry of Planning, at the seminar. CPTU organised the seminar while Brac Institute of Governance and Development (BIGD), Brac University, assisted CPTU in hosting the seminar to increase social accountability and local responsiveness through citizen engagement.
