Organogram of Local Government Ministry of Bangladesh is given below:

Q. would you think restructuring of that organogram is necessary for local level development? Why?

Local Government institutions also have some limitations. Local governments may degenerate in to narrow minded, weak, possessive and ignorant institutions promoting separatism and inertia. Given its small size, it may not attract talented and committed people and so it may became sluggish, inefficient and costly, compared to the central/state government. Some necessary steps should be taken to restructuring the organogram. Reasons for restructuring are as follows:

• Lack of clear delineation of functions
  

There is no clear delineation of functions between the local government and field agencies of the government.

• People's participation & monitoring
  

It is very essential to ensure peoples participation and develop the monitoring system in the organ gram of local level development; otherwise public voice can not be established.

• legal framework
  

An encompassing legal framework is essential for effective local government. It mentions that despite attempts Bangladesh has had limited success in implementing decentralization.

• Legal cover for the planned reforms
  

An encouraging legal framework is essential for effective local government. At present, the 22 Acts and Ordinances enacted by various governments since 1972 may need to be rationalized so as to provide the appropriate legal cover for the planned reforms.

• At present, no clear delineation of functions separates
  

The lack of appropriate rules and systems for fiscal decentralization has been a key constraint in the past to the effective implementation of decentralization initiatives.

• Rising revenue
  

It observes that despite transfer of powers to raise revenue, it is unlikely that local government in Bangladesh will be able to raise sufficient revenues to cover their total costs and are likely to need financial support from the central government.

• Negotiation between various organizations
  

There has a great lockage among the organ gram of local Government and other development agencies. So negotiation is one of the important ways for discussion and proper decision making.

These are the reasons for why restructuring of this organogram is necessary.
