The document discusses Bangladesh's National Integrity Strategy (NIS) which aims to promote good governance through transparency, accountability and integrity. It outlines the key aspects of the NIS including establishing an advisory committee, focal point officials to oversee implementation, and mechanisms to ensure integrity in both public and private sectors. The goals are to substantially reduce corruption, develop effective institutions, and build awareness about integrity. Challenges to implementation include changing mindsets, lack of awareness and capacity building, and ensuring coordination across different stakeholders.

2. Integrity =
(Accountability +
Competence +
Ethics) – Corruption
Former Congressman from New York and World
Bank President Barber Benjamin Conable, Jr. used
the term ‘good governance’ referring to it as
 a public service that is efficient,
 a judicial system that is reliable, and
 an administration that is accountable to its
public.
Social accountability can be defined as an
approach towards building accountability that
relies on civic engagement, i.e., in which it is
ordinary citizens and/or civil society
organizations who participate directly or
indirectly in exacting accountability (World
Bank, 2004).

‘Commitment for Golden Bengal: National Integrity
Strategy of Bangladesh’ to prevent corruption and
ensure the highest integrity in all affairs of the state
and society
Vision
A happy and prosperous Golden Bengal
Mission
Establishment of good governance in state and
society

4. The National Integrity Strategy is a national level initiative to infuse transparency,
accountability, and integrity into everyday public and private life.
National Integrity Strategy in Public Administration to promote Good Governance
 NIS sets out the government’s plan to address system weakness in domestic institutions
 Combating key driver of corruption in Govt institutions
 Bringing govt organizations, accountability institutions, media, civil society and private sectors under an umbrella to
ensure transparency
 NIS implementation at all levels of the Government
 Self discipline and empathy towards service receivers of govt employee are necessary conditions
The NIS reflects the government’s stated belief that “the fight against
corruption cannot be won by prosecution alone; an inclusive approach
based on values, morals, ethics, and integrity is necessary.”

5. In NIS, integrity is more than honesty, rather it is
influenced by morality and honesty. As the vision of
the National Integrity Strategy is a happy and
prosperous “ Shonar Bangla” and the mission is
establishment of Good Governance in the state
run institutions as well as societies, NIS can surely
ensure good governance.

effective
public
service
delivery:
• NIS, as one of the social accountability tools, can be considered
a two-end system.
• Increase awareness and understanding of government officers
on their NIS responsibilities
• Increase public awareness of NIS to promote values of
Integrity in the society
• NIS as the solution for the local problems.
• There are many laws to promote NIS (e.g., Right to
Information Act, 2009, ‘Protection of Consumer Rights Act,
2009’ etc).
So, the initial step is to increase the awareness of government
officers and implement activities to promote the NIS. Then the
awareness of the NIS shall increase by informing the public about
these initiatives. Finally, the citizens are expected to recognize
their role in realizing the NIS.
