Platforms for Dialogue (P4D): Design Agency Required Background to Platforms for Dialogue Bangladesh has made remarkable progress in economic and social development since independence in 1971. Now it recognises the need to strengthen governance systems, to decentralise, and to increase citizens’ participation so as to promote both further inclusiveness in Bangladesh’s growth and to consolidate the democratic process. Platforms for Dialogue (P4D) is a three-year programme established in partnership between the Cabinet Division and the European Union Delegation and implemented by the British Council. P4D will support the Government of Bangladesh in its commitment in the 7th Five Year Plan to improve government services through strengthened accountability and engaging citizens and civil society in decision-making, using the policy instruments of the National Integrity Strategy, the Right to Information Act, Citizens’ Charters and the Grievance Redress System. P4D also supports the EU’s Roadmap for Engagement with Civil Society in its development partner countries. P4D will initially work mostly at the local level with key players in government and civil society in its broadest sense. The aim is to identify solutions to a range of locally identified issues which will be scaled up at regional and national level at later stage. This will involve collaborative dialogue, multi-stakeholder consultation, and institutional development, capacity building of citizens, civil society actors, Civil Society Organisations and government officials. Strategic communication is a core strategy to assist the government in delivering its commitments under the 7th Five Year Plan. Details of P4D can be found at: Our requirements A key requirement for the project is to build trust and recognition among its target beneficiaries, including government and civil society.
