Abstract

The report is a three month internship is part of the study of Masters in Development Management and Practice (MDMP). There are mainly three reasons I picked up BRAC as my designated institution. First, I wanted to see actual work on how NGOs operates in the international regions and also how social business helps to support development. As Muhammad Yunus raised the importance of social business, there has been growing number of private sectors embarked in this field. BRAC is functioning in both the sectors and has been able to develop an enterprise along with is development world as an NGO. I found it was a good opportunity for me doing internship at BRAC. Secondly, I wanted to see the real scene of development. I have accumulated knowledge and learning about various theories of development study at MDMP program, but there was no chance to utilize theses knowledge in a workplace and field. Through the internship activity, I want to find out how development studies contribute to poverty alleviation, improvement of food security and the most current trend to climate change. Last reason is that I wanted to understand the essence of how management in organization is run. It was my wish to know how organization works and the manager’s role in helping to expand its organization as being a part of it. I also wanted to know the culture and structure of a Bangladeshi organization operating outside the country. I expected that these values would add a new perspective to my awareness of the issues, and I believe this internship will have a huge positive impact on my life in the future.
