Bangladesh
has a parliamentary form of government with the prime minister
as its chief executive and the president as the head of state.
The prime minister heads the cabinet that is collectively responsible
to the national parliament.
The ministries
fulfill policy-making and clearinghouse functions at the national
level, while the district level administration provides law and
order, land administration, service delivery and program implementation.
There are also local governments: municipal corporations in cities;
district councils; and thana (police station) committees.
They have some elected representatives and perform limited but
diverse administrative and development functions.
