Abstract:

Organisations remain exposed to risk and are vulnerable to HIV and AIDS impacts for as long as they are unprepared to mainstream HIV and AIDS. Certainly without infusing sustainable strategies for the HIV and AIDS pandemic into day to day operations there would be considerable waste of resources. This study sought to establish the level of internal mainstreaming of HIV and AIDS in an international NGO operating in Zimbabwe. Questionnaires were used to collect data from a sample of employees of the NGO, while senior managers were interviewed. Relevant internal documents were also reviewed to he

Abstract:

Different views exist regarding the relationship between international aid donors and recipient organisations. International donors are either seen as essential actors for democratising societies or as external interventions that further advance the interests of certain groups. Using Serbia as a case study, this paper argues that by analysing the structure of donor-recipient relationships, a more nuanced understanding emerges based on an analysis of the formal and informal mechanisms that link donors and actors. To reach this understanding, an initial case study of a donor organisation, the Un

The Antipoverty Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) founded by O. G. Thomas was the first development education organisation in England.

This meant that learning about people's lives in economically poor countries should lead to action for change, either in those countries or within England.

Shimla is a teeming city, with a population of 140,000. It is located in the north Indian Himalayas, in an area of high seismicity that was rocked by a devastating earthquake a hundred years ago. However, it is oblivious of the ticking time bomb below its foundations. Initiating risk reduction in this fast growing urban economic hub is an enormous challenge. A national non-governmental organisation (NGO) called SEEDS (Sustainable Environment and Ecological Development Society) started working in the city just before the earthquake centenary, with the aim to identify ways of reducing earthquake

Abstract:

This article tells the story of a battle in the Mexican city of Cuernavaca between a coalition of civil society groups on one side, and a multinational corporation, its local partner, and entrenched political and economic interests on the other. This battle over the transformation of a former casino and hotel into a supermarket is a story about resistance to the neoliberal paradigm underpinning a trade agreement (in this case, the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA) which privileges the interests of capital and foreign investment over local particularity and cultural and ecological

Abstract:

Abstract In developing countries, rural water sources have the highest levels of faecal contamination but are the least monitored. Affordable field-based water quality tests are needed. The presence of faecal indicator bacteria can be determined with hydrogen sulphide (H2S) detecting tests, that are inexpensive and simple to make locally. In rural Tanzania, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) designed, produced and evaluated a new H2S water quality test kit. The H2S test results correlated with log10Escherichia coli densities from conventional water quality tests. The production cost was US$

AbstractTourism is growing at a fast rate and so is its carbon footprint. Alongside conventional tourism, a new form of tourism, so-called voluntourism, has emerged. The discussion on voluntourism in the existing literature has hereby mainly centred around its positive impacts on the health and education of communities and the local environment in developing countries. Nevertheless, little attention has been drawn to its climate impacts. This study set out to investigate the carbon footprint of voluntourism. The data were collected at a local non-governmental organisation (NGO) in India workin

Abstract:

Today, civil society is identical to non-government organization (NGO) or Civil Society Organization. Institutional perspective causes the society to always be seen as an organizational entity: as a complete organization with its structure. Consequently, analysis on society will always be nuanced with relation to other institutions: coordination, subordination, opposition, or being attached to each other. This article proposes a new idea on civil society, which is suspected not always working within the institution framework, but instead with a more basic foundation that is ideational thrust.
