Effectiveness of NGOs

The NGO’s normally bring various forms of foreign aids to the developing nations. For example, the foreign aids may be informed of various forms including funds, medicines, and several other forms. It is upon the responsibilities of NGO’s to manage foreign aids and ensure that it is effectively distributed in various places. The researchers have performed several studies regarding the distribution of foreign aids by the NGO’s. However, only a limited research exists regarding the effectiveness of NGO’s in managing and distributing foreign aids in third world nations. Some individuals perceive NGO’s as organizations that have come with intention of depleting their resources other than helping. Since 1970’s, the dependency theorists perceived foreign aids as a means of self-enrichment and exploitations (Haque, 1999).

Most NGO’s come with a promise of good intention but they end up manipulating the resources of the African countries. In Africa, the research has confirmed that most of NGO projects and aids benefit only the elites of the government (Haque, 1999). Another research shows that on the side of donors, giving aids is a way of enriching themselves with resources of the beneficiaries since the individuals in third world economies are unable to make effective use of their resources. In addition, in 1990’s, the foreign aids were offered to the nations coming from long times of war and conflicts (Holland et al. For example, due to colonialism, most of the resources in Kenya were destroyed and people could not afford a good agriculture (Ismi, 2004).

This ultimately led to the scarcity of food as well as other essential elements by the individuals. As a form of NGO, the WHO came in Kenya to offer some necessities. Other factors that attracted foreign aids and NGO’s in parts of Africa involved prevailing security threats that destabilized the counties ongoing development projects (Harrison, 2004). Most of these researchers come to consignment that NGO’s are just short-term inventions that lack sustainability. According to the researchers, a country cannot entirely rely on NGO’s for its survival and development (Duperrault, 2010). In most instances, the NGO’s come into the countries during emergencies or short-term projects. For example, the NGO’s might come to restore peace in a country that has conflict.

However, once the conflict is over, the NGO’s return to their countries or move to another country that requires their help. The WHO has acted immediately on the issue by trying to support the country with drugs and medicines. In addition, according to the researcher, the governments in Kenya lack the potential to provide quality health to the citizens. Therefore, the WHO has taken a responsibility of offering free medication to vulnerable individuals. This has yielded positive results on the nations since most people in Kenya are currently capable of accessing quality medication without much struggle. The report by World Health Organization (2001) indicates that the organization has changed development trends. Therefore, from this, it can be argued that the development of African nations significantly depend on the willingness of NGO’s to give aid to their economies.

The goal of third world economies to remain independent may remain a dream since they continue relying on wealthy nations for development. RESEARCH QUESTIONS From the above literature review, the researcher can pose the following questions: i. How effective are NGO’s in distributing foreign aids for development of third world economies? ii. What is the role of NGO’s in transforming the third world economies? iii. Since many articles exist regarding this topic, the researcher will apply inclusion criteria to find the most appropriate articles. The researcher will use only the articles that are less than ten years. Quantitative Research Design The research will involve 100 participants. In order to avoid gender bias, the study will involve 50 male participants and 50 female participants.

The participants must be of 18 years and above and of sound mind to ensure that they can effectively respond to the research questions. Moreover, the researcher will also ensure that only the information relevant to the study topic is collected. In order to verify the credibility of the source, data will only be collected from the reliable internet library database. Data Analysis The researcher will qualitatively analyze data from the internet sources. Moreover, the researcher will ensure that the research questions are responded in the most appropriate manner. The sources containing similar information are the best to analyze since their level of credibility is high. If the results of qualitative and quantitative analysis do not match, the researcher might repeat the quantitative procedure again to verify the results.

If the study results conform to the results of literature review, the researcher will accept the hypothesis. Conversely, if the study results fail to conform to the results of literature review, the researcher will definitely refute the study hypothesis. ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS In conducting this research, I am expecting to experiences some number of ethical issues including obtaining informed consent, confidentiality, and vulnerable group of people, honesty, and several other ethical issues. To start with, in quantitative analysis, I will be required to gather participants for responding to the questionnaires. My questionnaires strictly contain only questions related to the study. Moreover, I also promise the participants to keep the information received from them confidential. As a way of adhering to ethical considerations, I will ensure honesty in my research.

I will report my research honestly including my methods, data, results, and other information related to my research. I will not make up any but I will collect the information from credible sources as well as reliable participants. Basu, A. , & Yulek, M.
