In the last decade the use of non-governmental agencies (NGOs) to
promote development and reduce poverty and hunger has become a
major feature of development policy. Donors have poured funds into
NGOs, governments have allocated them major responsibilities and
their number and size has grown. Has this popularity helped them to
solve the problems of poverty or has it changed them so that they
are now part of the 'development industry' that they used to
criticize?;This book provides the most detailed study available of
the ways in which NGO-State-Donor relationships have changed the
role that NGOs play in development. Its papers are introduced by
two international experts on the topic and the contributors are
leading academics and senior practitioners. The picture that
emerges from the general reviews and detailed case studies of
African, Asian and Latin American NGOs, is a complex one. However,
the authors conclude that there is much evidence that NGOs are
'losing their roots' - getting closer to donors and governments and
more distant to the poor and disempowered who they seek to assist.
