Executive Summary
SIF, an initiative of Access to Information (a2i) is the second venture after the
success of Quick Win project. In one year it has not shown significant response
although its potential is not deniable.
Drawbacks are evident at some places but some inside glitches are present too.
Some correction in structure and action can find more appropriate response make
proper use of behemoth fund. The Ultimate goal of making access to public
services for people is attainable.

Background Inspection
S.I.F is a great initiative under a2i. But it is turning to a failure as it failed to grab
desired amount of attention from its target group. As a result, its policy makers are
in doubt whether its rational to expand its funding from U.S.D 10 million to U.S.D
50 million or not. And they are re-checking about the lack of strategies they faced
at its initiation stage.

1. Re-Defining target group
The first & foremost step we need to take is - re-defining the target group of the
project. In the perspective of Bangladesh, school & college students are less
related to public sector activities. As a result, its less likely for them to come up
with innovative solutions of the problems, they are less familiar with.
The focus group should be the people who are mainly university students &
employed people who are more familiar with the pros & cons of the government
office activities & similar things. Along with that provisions can be kept for school
& college students so that no ideas are missed.
c. Parameter thats set for selection of the projects must be clarified in every
promotional activity.
d. Investment in these promotional activities is to be made with a long term
vision. At least 10% of 1million U.S.D is to be invested to reach the right
people having the right ideas via the mentioned mediums.

Conclusion
The timeliness of the S.I.F venture is undeniable. Just a change in promotion &
some other activities will facilitate its success. The vision must be a long term one.
Every man has some ideas; we just need the right way to grab it! Sometimes the
closer we are, the lesser we see.
So, the inclusion of mass people is very important. Its the mass people- who are
stake holders of the system but cannot directly influence the system. They suffer
from the system, they know the problems & even have the ideas to solve & make
the system a better or convenient one. We need to bring up their ideas, their
thoughts just in the right format.
