Donors have poured funds into NGOs, governments have allocated them major responsibilities and their number and size has grown. Has this popularity helped them to solve the problems of poverty or has it changed them so that they are now part of the 'development industry' that they used to criticize? This book provides the most detailed study available of the ways in which NGO-State-Donor relationships have changed the role that NGOs play in development. Its papers are introduced by two international experts on the topic and the contributors are leading academics and senior practitioners. The picture that emerges from the general reviews and detailed case studies of African, Asian and Latin American NGOs, is a complex one. However, the authors conclude that there is much evidence that NGOs are 'losing their roots' - getting closer to donors and governments and more distant to the poor and disempowered who they seek to assist. 0aNon-governmental organizationsxCongresses925492 0aEconomic assistancexCongresses925493 0aDeveloping countriesxEconomic policyxCongresses925494  aHulme, David925495eeditor  aEdwards, Michaeld1957-925496eeditor  2lcc  00102lcc4070aTBSbTBSd2025-06-18l0oHC60 HULpB02845r2025-06-18t1w2025-06-18y1  c4759d4759
