The Civic Education Project in Belarus, Ukraine, and Moldova: the impact of dependency

Development in Practice, 2010, vol. 20, issue 2, 240-250

Abstract: The reliance of development NGOs on donor funding exposes them to the danger of formulating programmes geared to meeting the needs of the donors, rather than those of local beneficiaries. In the worst-case scenario, NGOs may exacerbate existing problems through interventions that reinforce their own dominance and undermine local empowerment. This article examines some of the practices of one international NGO which worked in the field of higher education in three former Soviet countries.
