		Regardless of what NGO activists say publicly, politicians definitely attempt, directly or indirectly, to impose their politics on women's organisations as a means of influencing and gathering support among this crucial percentage of the electorate.

		Citizen organisations worldwide have existed for centuries but it is in the last decade of the twentieth century and the beginning of the 2000s that nongovernmental (NGOs) and nonprofit (NPOs) organisations have flourished.
		The embedding of third sector organisations in both the domestic and global policy worlds is fraught with tensions.
		Although the sense of uneasiness with accountability to governments may depend upon an organisation’s size and mandate, many worry that strict accountability measures might detract from an agency’s goals or mission and yet the funding opportunities may be too tempting to dismiss particularly in areas where resources are very limited.

		The rule of law is severely compromised when the supremacy of the constitution is not upheld and this also limits the possibilities for the protection of the vital space that civil society plays in acting as another check and balance on government power.

		One organisation's solution has been to do the needful - and add a narrative report containing the myriad stories and anecdotes that the communities themselves feel reflect a true change for the better.
		Is an organisation 'efficient' if with funding of $1,000 it has raised the consciousness of 1,000 people, or would it need to raise the consciousness of 2,000 people to qualify for the 'efficiency' tag?
		Even if the NGO sector shares the corporate sector's commitment to professionalism, our ends and means are so fundamentally different that attempts to import management styles from the corporate sector (often at the behest of donors in the quest for 'efficiency') have failed miserably.

		However, reports yesterday that some of the partners, namely the nongovernmental organisations that are involved in various interventions to improve people’s lives, were failing to account for money meant for specific programmes, are quite worrying.
		It appears the NGO community, that took over the handling of the funds that Western governments insisted could not be disbursed through the Government, may not, after all be the accountable bodies that they want the Government to be.
		Now the cat is out of the bag and it is now clear why the NGO community vociferously opposed the promulgation of a law to monitor their operations.

		In most nongovernmental development agencies it has proved a complex and contested process that tends to be relegated to the margins of their policy and work agenda.

		SOS Sahel and SCF have more than just a token number of women on their Boards, but it is yet to be seen how that affects the overall culture of the organisation.
