TVM Media Feedback
Bangladesh Grameen Shakti

Correcting the impression being given by AlJazeera English reporting about Grameen Shakti

AlJazeera English live stream reported on the use of solar panels in Bangladesh, noting that the solar panels were 'subsidized' by government. It turned out that the program being described is the initiative of Grameen Shakti that was started several years ago when Dr. Yunus was the head of the organization. The reporting seemed to be structured to give undue credit to the Government of Bangladesh under Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. I gave feedback to AlJazeera English as follows:

AlJazeera English does very good reporting. In the case of the story about Grameen Shakti, however, you leave the impression that this effort is a result of recent Bangladesh Government effort and subsidy when in fact it is a program initiative several years ago by the Grameen group of companies under Dr. Yunus's leadership. Thanks, Peter Burgess @truevaluemetric
