NGO’s are about Development: Presentation Review

 


This presentation gave us a good look into NGO’s and the concepts of liberalism and neoliberalism the link between neoliberalism and NGO’s was clearly established and elaborated upon. But yet more so the fact that was clearly illustrated that they tend to catalyze and partner to go on to work and implement the ultimate ends. The clarity in the explanation ensured that the relations between the two ends theory and practice were illustrated clearly.
A look into the Clinton Health Access initiative made for a good choice as it deals with some of the key issues that need to be addressed where it operates. The only issues as they had themselves found to be problematic were the narrow approach that limited the outreach to the populace owing to social factors. But more so it fits into the larger framework of theories being relied upon: neoliberalism.
Some of the most important concepts such as that of NGO’s being apolitical and the issues of donor funding were looked into which are critical in the issue itself. Most significantly the case study chosen was largely reliable owing to the key ideals as purported by the presentation and was look at critically rather than being looked into singularly as the question at hand permitted.
