BACK TO MAIN ONLINE BOOKSTORE HOW TO ORDER US NGOs press campaign against Qatar as next Ministerial venue by Jim Lobe Washington, 29 Jan 2001 (IPS) Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) from the United States are stepping up efforts to persuade Washington and the General Council of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) that plans to hold the WTO’s next Ministerial meeting in Qatar should be cancelled. More than 20 US NGOs have signed on to a letter to senior officials of the new George W. Bush administration protesting the selection of the Gulf kingdom as the site for the meeting, currently scheduled for early November. A similar letter is now circulating to groups outside the United States for their endorsement. With no history of tolerance for dissent, according to the US groups, Qatar will be unlikely to permit NGOs and other WTO critics to demonstrate against the WTO and its policy decisions. “Either the Government of Qatar must pledge that free assembly will be respected, including for its own citizens and foreign visitors,” the US NGOs statement says, “or the WTO must find another location.”

BACK TO MAIN ONLINE BOOKSTORE HOW TO ORDER Africa: NGOs start campaign against US AGOA by Chakravarthi Raghavan Geneva, 4 Oct 2000 - The Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), signed into law by the US President, provides illusory benefits to African countries who in exchange are to provide real concessions to the United States and its firms, African civil society groups have said in launching a campaign to alert their governments and public against taking measures required of them to be eligible for AGOA benefits. The African NGOs have launched a campaign and asked NGOs elsewhere to join it in alerting African governments, the public and others concerned in African development against the US AGOA Act. A campaign alert issued by the Africa Regional Secretariat of the Third World Network in this regard, underscores the urgency of civil society action and notes that the civil society position has been reinforced by official expressions of concern recently from the African region. The NGO alert notes in this regard that the recent Conference of African Ministers of Trade in Cairo had expressed their concerns about the dangers of the AGOA to African strategies of economic development and came out against hasty action by African governments to join the AGOA, until governments have assessed all its implications.

about GPF What's New Newsletter Sitemap ... *Opinion Forum With us or Against us? NGO Neutrality on the Line By Abby Stoddard Humanitarian Practice Network December 2003 Navigating an uncertain course among military and for-profit actors in Afghanistan and Iraq, and confronted by intensifying security threats, NGOs may be forgiven for reacting with alarm to what they see as a gathering storm against non-governmental humanitarian action. From the White House, the State Department, USAID, and conservative think-tanks with close ties to the administration, the message is that neutral humanitarianism has no place within the framework of the ‘global war on terror’. In the past, the mainstream US NGOs have often dismissed with irritation the European fixation with humanitarian principles, regarding such navel-gazing as of little practical value. In the face of the new US foreign policy, the neutrality question has suddenly become less academic, and US NGOs are facing some very difficult choices. The scale of the challenge Wider questions While there may be no concerted right-wing plot to stifle the humanitarian community, three developments threaten to significantly affect mainstream US NGOs and humanitarian action generally: first, the urgency with which the US has linked humanitarian goals with the strategic agenda after 11 September; second, the increasing role of for-profit actors in the aid and reconstruction response; and third, the growth of the ‘faith-based’ movement in aid and policy circles.

about GPF What's New Newsletter Sitemap ... *Opinion Forum A Moment of Truth for the Humanitarian Enterprise By Larry Minear Foreign Policy in Focus July 9, 2003 No crisis is wholly unique. However the task of protecting and assisting people in Iraq confronts the international humanitarian enterprise with challenges differing in degree, if not in kind, from earlier high-profile crises. Not only nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), particularly those based in the U.S., but also the humanitarian apparatus of the United Nations face vexing dilemmas. In the run-up to the Iraq war and since, the professional association of U.S. relief and development groups, InterAction, held a score of meetings with Pentagon officials to establish the terms of NGO engagement in Iraq. Would NGOs be permitted inside the country by the U.S.-led occupying forces? How would their work be coordinated? Would the UN be allowed to exercise its normal coordination function, as NGOs had urged? Would aid groups relate, as in normal crisis settings, to the U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department, or instead to the Pentagon, which was in charge in the Iraq theater? During the limited contingency planning that took place before the Iraq war, NGOs emphasized key principles, such as civilian control of humanitarian operations, neutrality, proportionality, and independence. However, as U.S. officials offered funds, NGOs became, as they put it, more "pragmatic." "We would wish for as clean and straight a civilian chain of command as possible," Save the Children's President Charles MacCormack told a reporter. "But we want to be there to do the job we know how to do." Reviewing the negotiations and the early outcomes, one analyst reached the logical conclusion that "to work in Iraq and other countries the U.S. government deems vital to its interests, NGOs will have to either redefine how much operational independence they need, or stay home."

Non-governmental Organizations Research Guide Full List Issues Geography Affiliation ... Reference Introduction As globalization and international trade impact societies, non-governmental organizations have become increasingly influential in world affairs. They are consulted by governments as well as international organizations like the United Nations which have created associative status for them. There are now tens of thousands of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the world, operating in most countries. These organizations are not directly affiliated with any national government but often have a significant impact on the social, economic and political activity of the country or region involved. The World Bank has provided an extensive definition of NGOs Although the number of existing NGOs is huge, those that have easily accessible information are far fewer. We have compiled an extensive but by no means exhaustive database of some of the larger and more influential NGOs operating internationally. This database and guide are limited in scope to those NGOs which Focus on one of three issues environmentally sustainable development, human rights, or

The International Outreach of U.S. NGOs By Robert Kellett Online Managing Editor, Mercy Corps U.S. nongovernmental organizations [NGOs] and their counterparts abroad promote participatory democracy, economic development and long-term stability worldwide, according to Robert Kellett, Online Managing Editor for Mercy Corps and a freelance writer living in Portland, Oregon. Mercy Corps describes itself as a nonprofit organization "that exists to alleviate suffering, poverty, and oppression by helping people build secure, productive, and just communities." The agency's programs currently reach over 5 million people in more than 30 countries, including the United States. I brahim used to dread the walk. Every day, the 11-year-old would wake before sunrise and begin the lonely trek that took him over the rugged terrain of his native Eritrea until finally, after three hours and more than 11 kilometers, he would reach his elementary school just in time for classes to begin. Tired and exhausted, the only thing that hurt worse than his calloused, bare feet was the gnawing pain of his empty, hungry stomach. Like many children in this impoverished, drought-ravaged eastern African country, Ibrahim's parents could only afford to feed him one meal per day. So he was left to fend for himself, often attending a full day of classes and walking more than 20 kilometers back and forth to school before taking his first bite of food for the day. Even though he was an honor student and considered by his teachers to be one of the brightest children in the entire school, Ibrahim was on the verge of dropping out.

(© AP/WWP) By Stephen Kaufman and Aviva Altmann Washington File Staff Writers Washington –- In response to the humanitarian crisis in Niger and Africa’s Sahel region, the U.S. government and U.S. nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have joined in the worldwide effort to relieve the hunger and malnutrition that is affecting a large number of the more than 65 million people in the region. Two air freighters chartered by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) carrying 206 metric tons of special high-energy food aid are scheduled to arrive in the Niger’s capital Niamey August 5, which USAID Director Andrew Natsios says will “immediately help feed tens of thousands of the most at-risk children.” The director's remarks were reported in an August 3 USAID press release. USAID also funded the July 18 airlift of 45 metric tons of food.  The two airlifts have brought the total amount of U.S. government assistance to combat the crisis in Niger to approximately $13.75 million for 2005.
