CG enters into the realm of board room as a survivor from uncurious attitude of few active agents who always search for loopholes to plug in. Banking sector in Bangladesh is not an exception. Like other developing economics, the banking sector in Bangladesh is not an expectation. Like other developing economics, the banking sector becomes the dominant financial intermediary in the financial system of Bangladesh due to underdeveloped capital markets, limited availability of financial instruments and lack of confidence in financial system. Given the banks intermediately role in providing stability to the financial system, Bangladesh as well as many emerging economics has implemented policies to develop and restructure the banking sector. An important feature of these policies was to design guidelines for best practices known as ‘CG of Banks’. The unique feature of banking industry which deals with the money of the depositors conveys the inevitability to implement CG in this sector. Bangladesh owns a rich history of code of CG. At regular intervals, such code has been update. Bangladesh bank the central bank of Bangladesh, has also issued a separate code which is applicable to banks in addition to the guidelines issued by Bangladesh securities and exchange communication. These guidelines are based on the Agency theory and follow Anglo American model of CG. However different theories and models are developed globally to address the particular needs under consideration. This study aims to find out any relationship between CG as practiced by banks with performance. This study uses both primary and secondary sources of data for the analysis and exploits different descriptive and inferential statistical tools for drawing conclusions. It also employs ethnography as a research methods. The very purpose of this methodology is to interpret social reality. To bring triangulation, an in-depth interview technique is also employed where ten interviews were taken, coded and encrypted to supplement the outcome of quantitative studies. It is expected that the study will add values through its analysis to current state of knowledge and will also offer some areas for new researchers.

Ekhtekharul Bangladeshis one of the most vulnerable countries to natural disasters in the world. Children, in particular, are confronted by multifaceted challenges of disaster as they are very sensitive and socially excluded in our country. reducing vulnerability to disaster by increasing the level of preparedness among school going children is an essential development agenda. In this context, the study among to explore different dimension knowledge on disaster preparedness among school going children in Bangladesh. A mixed method strategy ( qualitative and quantitative) is employed to conduct the study. Interview are conducted among children from primary and secondary school from five different disaster prone ares of Bangladesh. In the beginning the paper describes sample characteristics children knowledge on disaster preparedness from various formal and informal sources. The regular source includes textbook, and informal sources includes TV, radio, internet, family, community, friends and experience. different factors affecting disaster preparedness knowledge among children includes that parent's. However, basic knowledge on drought among children has significantly negative correlation with knowledge on disaster preparedness. In the end, the study presents particular policy recommendation to address children's emergency preparedness issues in local and international development discourse Sat, 01 Jan 0007 00:00:00 GMT http://dspace.ewubd.edu:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/2269 0007-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.ewubd.edu:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/2268 Workshop* on Mainstreaming Gender in International and National Climate Change Policy and Program Chaudhury, Rafiqul Huda; Mannan, Fouzia; Chaudhury, Moushumi The effects of climate change can cause a great impact on human being s . Over the next decade , the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC, 2007) predicts billions of people, hailing particularly from developing countries, such as Bangladesh, will face acute water and food crisis, as well as major health risks as a result of climate change, which consequently will po se a threat to economic progress and human security in a multifaceted manner. Bangladesh experiences a wide array of natural disasters almost every year as a result of climate change which includes: floods, cyclones and storm surges, salinity intrusion, ex treme temperature, and droughts. In the span of the last 28 years (19880 - 2008) Bangladesh has experienced 219 natural disasters, causing a total damage of US$ 16 billion (UNDP, 2015). One of the fundamental factors in shaping the relationship between people and the environment is gender. The impacts of climate change affect men and women differently. In Bangladesh, gender inequalities, power dynamics and access to information make women especially those with lower socioeconomic status vulnerable to cli matic impacts as it limits their ability to respond and adapt to disaster and climate change. The Government of Bangladesh (GoB) gives high priority to finding solutions to climate change through a gendered approach. However, a large body of empirical stud ies that attempts to integrate a gender perspective to promote gender equality fails to acknowledge relationships between women and men and how it influences vulnerability. The workshop on Mainstreaming Gender in International and National Climate Change Policy and Program focused on an in - depth analysis of gender - climate links that can better inform climate policy in Bangladesh as well as internationally. Building on unique proficiencies of researchers, policy makers and practitioners , the workshop aimed to deconstruct popular assumptions about women‟s vulnerability in relation to men‟s by discussing how social and economic factors determine men and women‟s vulnerability to climate change.

I hope the readers of the workshop report will find in it a valuab le source in fostering better understanding of gender - climate link to advocate and formulate gender sensitive policies and programs.
