Discussion

Non-governmental organisations have become key actors in responding to poverty and related suffering. In Africa, NGOs play a leading role in providing health care and education.
The non-profit sector continues to grow rapidly in Africa and around the world. In South Africa alone, there are more than 100,000 registered non-profit organisations and in Kenya the number of NGOs grew by over 400% between 1997 and 2006. And for most observers, they seem to be well-intentioned actors who do a lot of good on the continent.
But NGOs also have their detractors who argue that they are receiving growing amounts of donor aid, but aren’t the most suitable actors for really improving people’s lives. Read More https://www.ru.ac.za/perspective/2018archives/theroleofngosinafricaaretheyaforceforgood.html

<font style=”vertical-align: inherit;”><font style=”vertical-align: inherit;”>Je suis convaincu que les ONG des pays du Sud sont plus victimes de la discrimination de la part des donateurs, ONGI et autres des pays du Nord. Toutefois, quelque part les responsabilités sont partagé par le faite qu’il y a plusieurs de nos collègues qui contribuent négativement à la discrimination de nos organisation et aussi nous reconnaissons qu’il y a des ONG des pays du Sud qui sont crédibles et avec des compétences nécessaires pour rendre un travail de qualité et redevable. S’approprier le processus tant entendu de la localisation humanitaire et de développement pourrait certainement apporter des différences par rapport à ça.</font></font>
