That’s fair. But it’s not what other posters were saying.LexusSchmexus wrote:How many NGOs are there in the UK and what percentage of the workforce work for them? Now compare those figures with Cambodia. I don't think anyone denies that some NGOs do good work, the problem is that there are way too many of them and in most cases, they're taking away responsibility from the government. It was fine 15-20 years ago when the government had zero capabilities, but it's time to move on.
My issue was with the absolute statements that ‘NGOs needed to get out’ & the ridiculous ‘NGOs killed more people than AIDS’
They aren’t the great Satan. But certainly aren’t perfect.
Taking responsibility away from the government is the key point.
NGOs are doing it because gov isn’t.
Gov isn’t doing it because NGOs are.
