In Retrospect: NGO’s

When it comes to NGO’s the concept of development gets battered to pieces, pieces in the sense that it is most likely that one NGO would be able to address only a handful of aspects of development. The concept of development being broken up into pieces, but yet still they do play an important and integral part in the processes of development.  

Over the last semester one of the most important aspect in the concept of NGO’s and development that I have come to better understand is the that there are always certain models that are the underpinning of NGO’s like the business oriented model to fund: Oxfam, or the social equality one: ROTA and much more.

Yet more so the most important aspect that has been brought to light is the fact that in no way are the beyond the domain of the political, they do have a direct link with that. But, what is dependent is that this link is usually quite complex owing to the directionality that prevails circumstantially owing to the operations and environment of the NGO’s.

It has also been a very analytical study in light of the fact that it has illustrated the very intricate relationships that are created by the process and the way they influence and operate in varying circumstances. It has been highly influential in shaping my understanding in context of ‘NGO’s’ as a whole rather than a singular entity.
