What is the effectiveness of Non-Government Organisations, within the promotion of development?
Critics argue NGOs (Non-Government Organisations):
• Are self-serving and self-appointed unaccountable. Who selects the leaders of Non-Government Organisations?
• Sometimes considered as 'neo-colonialist' and imposing foreign values upon local cultures
• Aid like free/cheap food into non crisis situation decrease agriculture prices for local farmers
• Aid can lead to dependency quite than self-reliance and sufficiency.
