A recent report on practices of INGOs in the emergency response after the quakes highlights the pros and cons of partnership approach to development used in Nepal. It is supposed to be a “win win” but the approach is at peril of being misused or misunderstood unless INGOs literally transform their nature and way of working.

Child Protection
Only with a coordinated approach, can we ensure an adequate and steady improvement in the living standards of millions of children of the country. Too much attention is given to form and procedures rather than action. Is there a way to bypass the sector rigidities and existing “firewalls” among agencies? Child protection could set an example of radical experiments in social policies.

Campaigning done in the traditional way is not much of use and will not bring any meaningful change. Yet the potential of campaigning is irreplaceable if we want to change long rooted patterns. A new strategic approach to campaigning accompanied by a new working style in terms of implementation can change for the better living conditions of millions of children in the country.

Students acting as volunteers can be of great help in reducing adult illiteracy in the country. Yet it would be naïve to expect them alone to eradicate illiteracy. What is needed is a concerted effort that can harness new partnerships with non for profit organizations and state agencies. While more resources must be allocated to not for profit actors, accountability mechanisms must be stepped up.

Make them more accountable? Of course yes through a better national “system” but also by thinking long term and strategically on what we want from them. Some food for thought: Overhauling the SWC, raising the financial requirements for INGOs to operate in the country, letting smaller INGOs to create consortium or merge and allow some of them to be “nationalized” as community foundations.
