Women Empowerment and Governance through Digitization of NGO Management Systems

The Database Management System (DBMS) for an organization enables the users to define, create, maintain and control the access to the database. It is a process of storing information and retrieval in an orderly fashion. Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) have immense contribution towards sustainable community development in Bangladesh. Particularly, NGOs focused on women empowerment have many programs, functions and roles which assist community to become empowered and eventually attain sustainable development. To expedite their work and minimize traditional record keeping system this paper is focused on incorporating Electronic Data Processing and Management System in the Organization with necessary guideline and detail laid down procedures based on studies conducted in two local NGOs (Nari Uddug Kendra and Friends In Village Development Bangladesh (FVDB)) at Dhaka. It will help the NGOs to understand the weaknesses of manual data processing and preservation, the requirements of automation, data integration, data security, real time data sharing and collaboration maintaining data integrity. Further, the NGOs will have an insight in understanding the design concept of a database, work flow and ties between Entity Relationship (ER) diagram and relational schema.
