Through your newspaper; may I take this opportunity to request Bangladeshi citizens from home and abroad to participate in an online survey on Bangladesh's Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) and its 'participatory' nature (in its preparation). I am a Bangladeshi researcher based at the University of Liverpool, UK. I am researching on civil society participation in the development of Bangladesh's PRSP.

PRSP is the key document for various poverty alleviation programmes and other development activities in a national context. The government of Bangladesh finalised the PRSP in October 2005. The PRSP was supposed to include views and participation from all major stakeholders i.e. direct representatives of poor, labour organisations, women groups, civil society organisations (CSOs), political parties, parliament (where applicable), sectoral ministries, regional banks and international donor agencies, to name a few.

Everyone who will take part in this survey will have a chance of winning one of the two complementary cash prizes of Tk 15,000.
