organization, registered with Registrar of Firms. HDRC’s vision is to accelerate the process
of humane development through research and actions. It has a multifaceted structure with a
large pool of specialists drawn from diverse disciplines. Most of our specialists have long-
standing experiences in the relevant fields of human development. Operationally, the
activities of HDRC can best be visualized in four blocks: Mainstream Research Studies and
Technical Assistance (MRSTM), Development and Research of Indigenous People (DRIP),
Human Potential Development Centre (HPDC), and HDRC Media-Advocacy-Publications
(HDRC-MAP). HDRC has already made visible contributions to national policy making
areas, particularly in the fields of health; population; education; gender development; land
rights; infrastructure; and development of the poor, marginalized, disadvantaged and
indigenous people.

of our work, precise and timely reporting, appropriate management, effective administrative
procedures, and drawing of high quality professionals from wherever they are located. We

experiences.

HDRC's management approach has evolved from the best experiences of its large pool of
experts. Our approach is to utilize the most competent persons available, give those up-to-date
resources and support systems, set clear targets for their performance, and then apply
appropriate mechanisms to ensure high quality output. We appraise our performance against
specified objectives, and guidance is provided in technical and managerial areas as needed. We
have found that this approach yields both well-managed and cost-effective completion of tasks.
HDRC follows a well-designed financial management system. In addition to its qualified
accounts staff, HDRC maintains an external audit system through a reputed chartered accountant
firm.
HDRC is governed by a Board of Advisors, that meets once a year and provides policy
guidance in line with HDRC’s mission and changing environment. The Board of Advisors
(BoA) comprises of committed and renowned persons and professionals in their respective
fields. HDRC maintains gender equity in the BoA. The BoA selects one Chief Advisor (Hon.)
who assumes the responsibility of heading HDRC.
Who are HDRC’s experts?
HDRC has a pool of multidisciplinary experts in the areas of population, health, reproductive
health, maternal and child health, gender development, education, development economics,
training, human resource development, IT, management, communication, rural development,
environment, marketing, systems analysis, statistics, sociology, anthropology, policy analysis,
psychology, law, and research methodology. Each of the resource staff and consultants possess
the kind of experience and technical skills that are necessary to produce results that can be
translated into practical means for improving desired outputs. They have designed and
administered research and training programs for the Government, the NGOs, and the private
sector; and all of them are skilled and experienced researchers. In addition, they have all
provided technical assistance to different research and training projects carried out by this
organization as well as by other reputed organizations, both in Bangladesh and overseas. The
