East Delta University hosts policy dialogue on Chattogram's urban development
East Delta University's (EDU) Department of Public Leadership, Management and Governance (DPLMG) launched its "Policy Dialogue Series" on Friday (16 June), aiming to foster meaningful policy discussions and idea sharing among various stakeholders.
"A lack of coordination exists among the institutions involved in policy-making at various levels, which consequently leads to a lack of accountability," said Professor Dr Niaz Ahmed Khan, the pro-vice chancellor of Independent University, in his keynote speech at the event.
He referred to Chittagong as the economic hub of the country and elaborated on the significance of implementing effective monitoring mechanisms in the policy-making of urbanisation.
