Most major development NGOs dedicate significant resources to
advocacy. Many also work to inform and shape public opinion,
whether through advertising or fundraising or through education
programmes. They argue that fundamental change is not achieved
until the policy environment is right and cannot be sustained
without a groundswell of support for reform. In recent years,
however, advocacy work has come under increasing criticism. NGOs
are challenged on the grounds of: Legitimacy - Whom do they
represent, and to whom are they accountable? Effectiveness - What
practical impact does high-level advocacies have on the lives of
people living in poverty and who is to judge this? Role - Should
NGOs try to combine funding and advocacy or do these demand
different kinds of South-North relationship? Strategy - Are NGOs
seduced by agencies like the World Bank or by the corporate sector
to readily? When does constructive engagement with these powerful
bodies turn into co-option by them? As international grassroots
advocacy is becoming more vocal thanks to new communication
technologies; what is the appropriate role for Northern NGOs?
