“…In practice, a combination of public institutions and private firms tailored to the specific local condition is most likely to be effective (e.g. Matsaert et al, 2007), where the public institutions are in charge of the definition of terms-of-reference, selection of the private supplier of the services, and monitoring of the quality of the services provided.…”

“…Pierre-Louis (2011) argues that the lack of coordination amongst INGOs seriously hinders their ability to achieve sustainable growth.

Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are seen as drivers of change. This characterisation has led to the proliferation of NGOs, particularly in developing countries. Their numerous strengths and advantages have resulted in them being described as being 'there for the people'. Yet, despite their strengths, they have been criticised for their inability to meet structural and social challenges, as many of them are seen as being too professional, bureaucratic and focused on maintaining their funding, thereby perpetuating underdevelopment. Meanwhile, there are growing concerns regarding the partnership and accountability practices of NGOs. To contribute to this debate, this article will examine the roles of NGOs in the international arena and discuss the impact of funding in the creation and achievement of strategic goals, and how this directly affects the accountability of NGOs. In order to examine these issues, the author uses examples from Sudan to discuss how structural change and autonomy are both necessary for and detrimental to the accountability, reputation and role of NGOs in the development sector.
