Countering VE (CVE) practitioners frequently assert that extremists are increasingly relying on technological innovations to recruit naive youths to their cause, which they believe is a trend that is accelerating. This research examines existing programs throughout the world in the area of disruptive technologies that have had some impact in the areas of preventing and combating VE (P/CVE). Secondary research and expert interviews were used in conjunction with each other to develop the technique. The report outlines successful efforts in technology-based initiatives that have been implemented in Bangladesh as a result of the knowledge gathered in the process. After that, proposals for CVE deployment techniques have been suggested, which might possibly be adopted or coordinated by USAID and other funders and practitioners in the field of P/CVE.

This review of the literature delves into the evolution of flexible course design and defines flexibility as a multifaceted concept encompassing time, place, content, pace, and pedagogy, with learner autonomy situated at the core. This review explores the key components of flexible course design, including both pedagogical and logistical aspects, and their implications for developing a learner-centered approach to enhancing engagement and motivation. By synthesizing the current literature, this review highlights strategies to incorporate flexibility in course design through content adaptation, pedagogical modifications, assessment diversification, and adjustments in time, place, and pace of course offerings and learning. This review underscores the significance of flexible course design in light of the rapidly diversified learner demographic and their changing needs emphasizing the necessity of further research on flexibility for building more empathetic and adaptable learning environments.

With a sample size of 651, the survey was administered online and followed a random sampling method. The survey finds that the majority (85%) of the respondents are unsure or pessimistic about the country’s economic condition after COVID-19 and at least 84% of respondents are cutting back on their spending. The survey also finds that Eid spending will nose-dive sharply, with restaurants and hotels expected to be the hardest-hit sectors.

The young population of Bangladesh is rapidly embracing social media through the internet and afflicted with the malaise of countering violent extremism (CVE), often through Facebook. Given the increasing connectedness that the internet and social media offer, it is crucial that the fight against CVE shift to the digital space. Extremists are increasingly adopting novel ways and means based on technology to draw unsuspecting youth to their cause. It is essential to establish effective implementable strategies to stop the CVE activities using social media in Bangladesh. This study aims to identify existing initiatives globally in the space of disruptive online technologies that have yielded some success in preventing CVE. Various publications such as journal and news articles, TV news, and blogs have been used as data sources for this study. Also, fifteen expert interviews have been conducted to identify the most effective strategies for CVE in Bangladesh. Through the content analysis, the study highlights successful efforts and explores technology-based initiatives that can be deployed in Bangladesh to minimize the impact of VE activities through online technology. Finally, recommendations for strategies to restrict VE activities through technologies have been suggested that can be potentially implemented by the Bangladesh government by coordinating with international donor agencies and CVE practitioners. The research output recommends that Bangladesh and other less developed countries can concurrently deal with CVE by successfully using cutting-edge online/digital technologies.

The chapter considers the case of ready-made garments (RMG) workers in Bangladesh. By assessing data generated from a study conducted during implementation of a donor-funded project by Swisscontact South Asia Regional Office (SARO), the study put forward multifarious challenges hindering the process of financial inclusion of the RMG workers led by the banking sector in Bangladesh. The research also provides recommendations for overcoming the challenges identified.

Recognising the immense potentials of this huge youth population, the Agenda 2030 strongly advocates for creating a safe and enabling environment for them, where they will fully enjoy their rights, and will grow as capable citizens to take on the responsibility of the future of this world. In this context, the present study seeks to portray an overview of the state of youth globally and in Bangladesh from the perspectives of SDG (employment), SDG 4 (education) and SDG 3 (health), and also illustrate an analysis of the existing obstacles and possible pathways of youth development.

Many countries, including Bangladesh, reported suicide as extreme consequences of the psychological burden influenced by COVID-19. The present study explores human stress and its factor influenced by COVID-19 in Bangladesh, which significantly affect the quality of life. METHODS An online-based questionnaire survey was conducted among 651 adult Bangladeshi populations by capturing socio-demographic information, possible human stress, and consequences of the pandemic. A set of statistical tools such as Pearson's Correlation Matrix (PCM), T-test, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) were applied to identify the relationship between different factors and influential factors increasing human stress. RESULTS More than 83% of the participants are facing COVID-19 related mental stress, which results in short temper, sleep disorder, and family chaos. PCA and HCA outcomes indicated a significant relationship between the respondents' opinions and human stress factors, which harmonized with the country's existing scenario. PCM results enlighten the relationship between human stress factors and found financial hardship, cutting back daily spending, and food crisis are interconnected together causes stress. Also, hampering students' formal education and future career plans significantly contribute to mental stress. CONCLUSION Based on the above findings, it's crucial to introduce a time-oriented strategy and implement precaution monitoring plans for Bangladesh. The rescue plan will help people to manage the pandemic and improve mental health to fight against psychological challenges related to COVID-19 and future pandemics.

The study identified the various ways in which social media outlets have been used by violent extremist groups for attracting young minds, sharing radical content and recruitment of vulnerable youth. 1 In the case of Bangladesh, a few empirical studies reveal that radicalization among university students is correlated and perhaps even caused by exploitation of internet and social-media-based channels. In a survey conducted by Bangladesh Institute of Peace and Security Studies (BIPSS) in 2017 on youth radicalization, 61.0% of the respondents indicated the internet as the most powerful media for radicalizing the youth. 2 It is believed that urban centers such as Dhaka, Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna and Sylhet are particularly vulnerable. A survey conducted by the Bangladesh police on 250 jailed militants found that 82.0% of them were radicalized through social media. 3 Sources also reveal that four of the perpetrators of the infamous Holy Artisan Bakery Attack were radicalized online. 4 Therefore, given that Bangladesh has one of the fastest growth rates of internet users and Dhaka currently ranks second in terms of Facebook users, Bangladesh faces grave threats of youth radicalization and recruitment through social media and the internet. In this context, a deepening of understanding regarding the existing online radicalization and recruitment process in Bangladesh is the need of the hour. This exploratory study is a small step towards that direction. The findings of this study have been generated from a quantitative survey of 470 university students in Dhaka, Sylhet and Rajshahi. The complete version of the paper based on this study is intended to be published as a CES working paper.

This education approach has been linked with academic and social benefits for all students, disabled or otherwise; and significant economic benefits for the countries. Given the importance of this topic, this CES Knowledge Note assesses the current situation with regard to disability-inclusive education in Bangladesh, and articulates its benefits, with the hope of generating public and private sector attention to this area.
