Supporting Citizens Initiatives
Bangladesh's NGOs and society
This book explains the role currently played by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Bangladesh and answers the questions: Why are Bangladeshi NGOs praised throughout the development world, yet attacked within their own country? Why are NGOs which take foreign donations treated differently from the government which takes foreign grants and loans, the religious organizations which take foreign grants, or the business sector which takes foreign investment? Why do Bangladeshi NGOs receive adulatory visits from foreign dignitaries, but rarely from Bangladeshi dignitaries? Contains lessons for all those concerned with understanding the relationship between state and civil society organizations throughout the developing world.
