Post development theory linked in with the case studies from Malawi
and Haiti. Two regions that are the perfect ground for analysis of the effect
that NGO’s have upon development. The case studies of Malawi and Haiti were
really good choices for the analysis, as they not only illustrate the fact that
an over presence of NGO’s does not always mean that there is a good intent.
Most clearly the illustration of the quick fix issue that surrounds
NGO’s and their approach solving issue in the communities they aim to work with
is quite well analyzed. Analytics in the presentation also have brought about
some other key issues that we often tend to focus on much less, like how the
Red Cross dealt with their priorities in Haiti. Such issues remain at the very
center of the debate regarding the NGO’s and their actions as it illustrates
their strategies and approaches.
The presentation raised questions about the fact that whether it was
truly an idealist notion to believe that NGO’s would come about to help the
people in crisis. This is in light of the way they tend to operate and divest
the funds that they raise upon appeal to the public and more so the connection
how it impacts the subjects of work?
