Dnet

For many projects Dnet is now working with the donors or implementing partners to understand the local ecosystem and context deeper. As an example, in one project partnering with the government of Bangladesh, Dnet is finding ways, how malpractice like false bid or pre-bid nexus of the government contractors can be detected using tender data analysis and network simulation. In another project with micro-merchants, we are trying to learn why some of the shopkeepers are so successful in a specific area and some fail. Then using analytical tools, we will try to learn and will feed the learned knowledge to the failing shopkeepers to do better. These are new ideas of leveraging the society to prosper using its own learning re-feeding using domain knowledge and digital technology. Using this process we are becoming more and more knowledge partners in the developing community and it is providing good results. We look forward to a better and sustainable future for Dnet if we can succeed with the current plan of leveraging the partnership with the other ecosystem player, not only with technology service but more as a local expert in cross-domain knowledge. For the systems thinking the approach and from the new development philosophy "local experts" are the key to understanding a problem, for developing a solution and for sustainability. We hope if Dnet can succeed with these ideas, it will make a significant impact on the development practice in Bangladesh where local implementers will take a knowledge lead for doing good for people. CEO, Dnet.
