dc.description.abstract | Nongovernmental Organizations (NGOs) and the governments of countries
receiving aid have varying relationships. Some NGOs view governments poorly, while
some governments have similarly negative opinions towards NGOs working in their
countries. Levels of collaboration between NGOs and recipient governments also vary
greatly depending upon many different factors influencing their relationship. Through
my research I explored these different issues that influence the relationship between these two groups. Among the different NGOs that I explored, I encountered a variety of
opinions expressed by employees ofNGOs and uncovered feelings of tension, as well as feelings of respect towards the Haitian government. Two common sources of tension
found were shifts in funding patterns from bilateral to multilateral aid, and registration as
an NGO and whether NGOs inform governments of their work in the country. This paper
discusses these varying relationships and concludes that collaboration with the
government is important, while the funding should run through NGOs and be controlled
and distributed by these organizations. | en_US |
