Management

PKSF, an apex development organization established by the Government of Bangladesh, works through an integrated network with its organizational structure to ensure that all employees irrespective of their ladder work towards realizing its proclaimed vision and mission. The PKSF officials are morally and strategically motivated through different meetings and necessary training sessions to demonstrate skills and efficiency in performing their duties with a commitment to their profession and society. The Human Resource Unit (HR) is extremely careful to apply a competitive and rigorous recruitment process that guarantees that only the persons with proven talent and capability are recruited. Their skills are regularly updated and sharpened through in-service training at various intervals both at home and abroad.

The Managing Director is the Chief Executive Officer of PKSF. At present, two Additional Managing Directors (AMDs) assist Managing Director to ensure fair, transparent, accountable and efficient management of PKSF. AMD-1 plays the responsibility to determine policy and plans of action to execute the activities of PKSF considering national priorities and possible new realities. Rural, national and international contex in one hand, and different financial and economic perspectives on the other are taken into consideration to carry out this responsibility.
