Democracywatch
is an NGO working in promotion of democracy and good governance
in Bangladesh since 1995. It conducts training and runs projects
with a vision to build awareness on democracy and good governance.
It also carries out research and opinion poll on different
social and political dimensions. Democracywatch emphasizes
most on education and awareness building of the young adults
and women in the society. Towards this end, it runs courses
on Lifestyle, Democracy Training Program, Internship Project
with the Parliamentarians, IELTS, Basic Computing and English
for General Purpose. Side by side, quiz, debate, dialogue
session, and workshop on various issues of democracy are regularly
carried out in an attempt to raise the confidence level of
the youths.
Skill
development training and awareness building is necessary in
terms of creating employment opportunities.In this context,
Bangladeshi workforces are not quite adaptable in line with
the international standards.
|
This is why skill building training should spread allover
the country. Apart from the Dhaka office, Democracywatch has
a branch at Mymensingh. Regular activities are also carried
out in Chittagong, Comilla, Sylhet and in some other districts
in Bangladesh. Democracywatch also targets women as the core
field of development in near future because we believe no
development can be possible as long as the young and women
are not conscious.
