Decision architecture
These are linked records, not recommendations. They identify documented responsibility, published policy work, and modelled instruments that have passed their respective public gates.
Owns
The principal government agency against corruption in Bangladesh. Investigates and prosecutes corruption offences in both public and private sectors, conducts inquiries into allegations of corruption, and works to prevent corruption through systemic reforms and public awareness.
Authority: Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2004
Monitors
Cabinet secretariat, inter-ministerial coordination, public administration oversight, and allocation of business
Authority: Constitution of Bangladesh, Article 55; Rules of Business 1996
Grounded prescription
Closing the Capacity and Political-Will Gap That Lets Grand Corruption Escape the ACCBangladesh's Anti-Corruption Commission is hobbled by a combined capacity and political-will gap on grand corruption; the Cabinet Division should ring-fence ACC autonomy, build specialist investigative capability, and bind enforcement to published outcome reporting.
The assessment compares the latest source observation with BDPolicyLab analytical monitoring bands. For this detector, lower readings indicate greater stress; the internal analytical cutoffs are 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0. The score is a level-anchored piecewise-linear transformation with state bands at 20, 40, 60, and 85. The indicator's primary source is identified with the evidence in this card. Forecast ranges are published only as calibrated 80% predictive intervals with an explicit source time unit.
