Institute of Governance Studies : annual report 2007
Bibliographic record
Abstract
conducts both academic and research Programmes on issues of governance in Bangladesh.With the importance given to governance issues in the 21st century donor dialect, BRAC University recognised the need for an exclusive institute which would be able to disseminate knowledge about recent innovations and practices in governance and public policy management among contemporary and future leaders of Bangladesh.With this end in view, the 'Centre for Governance Studies' (which evolved into the 'Institute of Governance Studies' in 2007) was established in 2005.For Institute of Governance Studies (IGS), the concept of governance is best defined as the sum total of the institutions and processes by which society orders and conducts its collective or common affairs.The Institute responds to this concept of governance by integrating the social sciences and the professional disciplines in its academic Programmes and research agenda.The Institute has been awarded the IDRC Think Tank grant in 2010 by International Development Research Centre, which is a part of an initiative to promote research capacity for public decision-making in developing countries.Since 2006, the Institute has been publishing its flagship publication 'The State of Governance in Bangladesh' report on an annual basis.In 2012, the Institute launched its second flagship publication 'State of Cities' report.In addition to the two Reports, the Institute also publishes policy papers and institutional assessments.The governance approach also integrates the education and training of political leaders and career professionals engaged in the process of formulating and managing public policies.The core projects that are operating at the Institute are Affiliated Network for Social Accountability (ANSA) -an initiative to promote, strengthen and sustain social accountability knowledge and praxis globally; and Journalism Training and Research Initiative (JATRI) -an intervention aimed at strengthening and expanding the skills of journalists.Recently, two new projects have been launched namely -Capacity Building for Promoting Governance in Bangladesh, which has been undertaken in partnership with Bangladesh Public Administration Training Centre (BPATC) with support from The Netherlands Initiative for Capacity Development in Higher Education (NICHE)/NUFFIC); and Bangladesh Youth Survey (BYS), which is a study on youth development and establishment of youth rights in South Asia.In addition to these, IGS works with and provides technical support to various national and international private and public organisations e.g.Asia Foundation, USAID PROGATI, Ministry of Planning, and Anti-Corruption Commission. ResearchAn important facet of the Institute's core mission is to conduct research on governance and disseminate the findings to the public.As such, 2012 was a successful and busy year where the team worked to disseminate this knowledge and to enhance the profile of the Institute both nationally and internationally.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
