“…These are public services that, in the UK and other countries, are the focus of high quality accounting research -as evidenced from many articles published in this journal among others. Comparing this to the size of the NGO sector, looking specifically at the development aid functions of NGOs, is not a straightforward task as statistics for the amount of development aid funding flowing through NGOs globally are rather opaque (Agg 2006;Morena 2006;Oller 2006;Sadoun 2006).…”

This article, based on a plenary lecture given at the First International Conference on Sustainable Management of Public and Not for Profit Organizations held at the University of Bologna, Forli Campus, Italy in July 2009, provides an overview of issues in nongovernmental organization (NGO) accountability that are of particular relevance in the current changing global context -in particular, a context combining economic slowdown and global warming.

“…For example Irish development NGOs generated 70% of their funding from private sources (O'Dwyer and Unerman, 2010) and similar trends have been recorded in the UK (Lewis, 2014;Smillie et al, 2013). The exact amount of aid, especially development aid, attracted by NGOs globally for developmental purposes remains disputed (Agg, 2006;Morena, 2006;Oller, 2006;Sadoun, 2006) but it is evident that the amount keeps increasing e.g.…”

I would also like to appreciate the management and staff of KKP who gave me the opportunity to use their organisation as the case study for the research.

“…The implications of this position are that a sociopolitical study from a historical perspective is needed to explore the nature of the emerging ties between civil society and the political and economic spheres. An examination of the NGOization of the women's movement in various societies indeed indicates different types of influence (Alvarez 1999, Jad 2004, Lind 2005, Sloat 2005, Morena 2006) as well as pointing to a dynamic relationship between women's movements, and economic and political forces. Case study analysis therefore serves as an essential analytical tool to illuminate the universal elements within the 'NGOization of feminism,' to use Lang's (1997) phrase.…”

Current literature on the women's movement argues that in recent decades, a schism based on the politics of identity has divided women and led to the weakening of the movement. This process, intersecting with the escalation of neoliberal trends and the 'NGOization' of civil society, has resulted in the depoliticization of the women's movement and the waning of its influence as a political force. The present paper seeks to examine whether this argument is consistent with the situation in the Israeli women's movement of the early twenty-first century. Based on the history of the women's movement in Israel, the paper posits a twofold argument: (a) the women's movement in Israel has not disappeared but has been restructured as a result of its NGOization; (b) despite criticism of the movement in the literature and on the part of activists as the result of its NGOization, the movement's political messages have remained intact and even expanded to embrace questions of social justice, including novel thinking on matters of peace and security.Division in the ranks is destroying us! It is one of the primary reasons for our lack of representation in government positions, and for the lack of recognition of our abilities and our contribution. 1The chief problem with the women's organizations (or more precisely, with feminism) is that feminist discourse encourages division . . . 2The preceding quotes, found in a brief survey of the internet, reflect the dilemma of feminism as a social theory and a movement. To succeed as the latter, it must combine forces and mobilize around a common identity as women. But reflexive feminist discourse acknowledges that women do not constitute a singular category, since they are situated in different places in society and as inequality and subjugation also take place between women themselves. The result is a schism based on the politics of identity that divides women and leads to the weakening -if not downright disappearance -of the women's movement.The processes taking place in the feminist arena intersect with current social changes related to the strengthening of neoliberal trends, privatization, the retreat of the welfare state, and the expansion and institutionalization of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), referred to as the 'NGOization' of civil society. In Israel, as in the rest of the
