Democracy, Governance, Transparency and Accountability in NGO’s

The notion of development is essentially a contested and plural one, thus paving the way for the questions that have come to symbolize the question about what development really is? However there are some non-economic form of development that are essential and thus must be given equal attention and importance. One such issue is the issue of socially inclusive development. This is in light of the fact that there are NGO’s that work in the developed countries to address such issues, issues of social inclusiveness that are often thought to be missing in such places generally.

However the focus here is not on the economics of development but on the universality of the concept, that development is something that has to be everywhere and for everyone. This case makes for an excellent illustration of the fact that there is nothing that is only singular and thus not addressing issues which may considered to be Eurocentric or non Eurocentric. As the issues that ROTA seeks to address are of importance everywhere, although how they may be interpreted may vary.

Problems are present everywhere, especially when it comes to development and thus it is necessary to note that the developed countries too have problems with development. Organizations like ROTA could perhaps help illustrate the depth and root of such problems.
