		Ironically, it was the legislated participation of NGOs in local bodies that brought an increase in their funding and the sprouting of quasi-organizations.
		In vetting NGOs for partnership, the ADB uses the criteria set by the World Bank: skill and capacity (track record proving administrative and operational capacities, as well as sectoral and geographical expertise), governance (accountability, transparency, political acceptability and absence of nepotism) and legitimacy and credibility (legal status, legitimacy in representing target beneficiaries).
		But the ADB also notes that, given the NGO tradition of networking as a means of optimizing resources and improving their impact, the best references in screening NGOs are the NGOs themselves.

	Migration Information Source - UNHCR and NGOs: Competitors or Companions in Refugee Protection?
		In this period, several large humanitarian NGOs blamed UNHCR for focusing on the provision of assistance at the expense of its protection mandate, particularly in the Balkans.
		NGOs activities can thus complement and support UNHCR activities for refugees, particularly when states fail to meet their international obligations.
		NGOs can nevertheless be present, witness, monitor, document, report, advise, influence, and “responsibilise” states and government actors, thereby contributing to the protection and well being of people affected by forced displacement.

		The general message at Wednesday's conference was that, while NGOs like Amnesty International, CARE, Oxfam, and Friends of the Earth, have performed valuable work in promoting human rights, development, and environmental protection, their general policies, particularly at the international level, may be inimical to U.S. interests and free-market principles.
		NGOs, for example, work with like-minded institutional investors, such as union and church-based pension funds, to sponsor shareholder resolutions demanding that corporations adopt more environment -- or human rights --friendly policies.
