In 1993, Rehman Sobhan, an economist and civil society leader in Bangladesh, founded the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD) to meet the emerging need for an independent civil society platform following the restoration of democracy in the early 1990s. He invited several prominent figures to join CPD’s board, which has since included globally respected personalities and social entrepreneurs, such as the late Sir Fazle Hasan Abed, founder of BRAC, and Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus, founder of Grameen Bank.[1]
