1.What can you buy with $US 1.25 (a day) in your
hometown?
To comply with Bangladesh’s reality, therespondent group assumed $US 1.25 to be thedaily income of a person who has a familyconsisting of 5 members. As food is the most
important basic need, the group, at first, focusedon how much money should be spent to feed allthe five mouths to meet their daily minimumcalorie-requirements. It was found that, nearlyTk.65 must be spent on rice, and this leaves verylittle scope for them to spend on other items thatmake the meals tastier, let alone spending onother basic needs (e.g. on education, clothing,medicine etc.)

4. If you were the leader of your country, how
would you include human rights in the MDGs?
According to the respondents, if they were theleaders of Bangladesh, they would have analyzedevery demand from the commoners, regardinghuman rights, very carefully and critically. This is
because they think that when a particular humanright is viewed from the commoners’ point of focus, it might prove to be a selfish demandwhich might be inconsistent with the countries’
overall welfare. Again, they emphasized onmaking decisions that benefit the whole countryas well as ensure the proper enforcement of human rights.

able to find out their own setbacks and try toimprove themselves in order to make morecontributions in achieving the MDGs.
