June 23, 2003 Now Bush wants to buy the complicity of aid workers Relief groups have been told they must be an "arm of the US government" By NAOMI KLEIN The Bush administration has found its next target for pre-emptive war, but it's not Iran, Syria or North Korea. Not yet anyway. Before launching any new foreign adventures, the Bush gang has some homeland housekeeping to take care of: it is going to sweep up those pesky non-governmental organisations that are helping to turn world opinion against US bombs and brands. The war on NGOs is being fought on two clear fronts. One buys the silence and complicity of mainstream humanitarian and religious groups by offering lucrative reconstruction contracts. The other marginalises and criminalises more independent-minded NGOs by claiming that their work is a threat to democracy. The US Agency for International Development (USaid) is in charge of handing out the carrots, while the American Enterprise Institute, the most powerful think-tank in Washington, is wielding the sticks. On May 21 in Washington, Andrew Natsios, the head of USaid, gave a speech blasting US NGOs for failing to play a role many of them didn't realise they had been assigned: doing public relations for the US government. According to InterAction, the network of 160 relief and development NGOs, Natsios was "irritated" that starving and sick Iraqi and Afghan children didn't realise that their food and vaccines were coming to them courtesy of George Bush. >From now on, NGOs had to do a better job of link ing their humanitarian assistance to US foreign policy and making it clear that they are "an arm of the US government". If they didn't, InterAction reported, "Natsios threatened to personally tear up their contracts and find new partners".

(Japanese) skip navigations Sitemap Other Languages ... Japan's ODA Annual Report (Summary) 1998 A Joint Effort by Japanese and U.S. NGOs and the Japanese Government: Providing Used Bicycles to Teachers in Ghana Desert terrain has slowed the pace of infrastructure development in Ghana's northern reaches, and few teachers have much desire to be assigned to elementary or secondary schools in that region largely due to poor transportation services. As one way of offsetting the teacher shortage, Ghana's education ministry and the local JICA representative office hit upon the idea of supplying bicycles to teachers assigned to schools in the north. That idea was relayed to the Japanese embassy, and ultimately led to the creation of an official plan to send bicycles to teachers in three northern states. Word of the plan prompted the Fukushima JOCV Training Association (a Japanese NGO) to offer to furnish the bicycles required. A large number of abandoned bicycles that had been collected and fully refurbished by that organization were eventually exported to Ghana with Japanese grant assistance for grassroots projects. Once in Ghana, they were loaned out to teachers in areas with particularly bad transportation infrastructure by the Catholic Relief Service, a U.S. NGO highly experienced with the situation in the northern part of the country. One of the distinguishing features of the whole project is that it worked by combining Japanese ODA with the collaboration of two NGOs: one Japanese, the other American.

Archives Headlines Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Thursday, June 12, 2003 by OneWorld.net U.S. Conservatives Take Aim at NGOs by Jim Lobe WASHINGTON - While non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as Amnesty International, Greenpeace, and Oxfam have made significant contributions to human rights, the environment, and development, they are using their growing prominence and power to pursue a "liberal" agenda at the international level that threatens U.S. sovereignty and free-market capitalism. That was the message delivered by a series of speakers at an all-day conference, " Nongovernmental Organizations: The Growing Power of an Unelected Few ," Wednesday sponsored by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), a Washington think tank that has been particularly influential with the Bush administration. On the global political front, international NGOs, which led the fight for the global ban on anti-personnel mines, the Kyoto Protocol to curb greenhouse-gas emissions, and the treaty establishing the International Criminal Court (ICC), are pursuing a "liberal internationalist" vision that is very much at odds with that of the Bush administration, according to American University law professor Kenneth Anderson. "NGOs have created their own rules and regulations and demanded that governments and corporations abide by those rules," according to AEI and the conference co-sponsor, the rightist Institute of Public Affairs of Australia. "Politicians and corporate leaders are often forced to respond to the NGO media machine, and the resources of taxpayers and shareholders are used in support of ends they did not sanction."

A USAID official said on Tuesday that the Iraqi agreements were a separate issue but confirmed an NGO report that USAID administrator Andrew Natsios believes nongovernmental organizations should publicize the U.S. government financial contribution to their activities. Natsios caused a stir last month when he told a closed meeting of NGO leaders that aid agencies in the field should identify themselves as recipients of U.S. funding to show a stronger link to American foreign policy.

Gamal Essam El-Din reports Before leaving Cairo for Washington, where he is to take on the post of assistant US secretary of state, American Ambassador to Egypt David Welch made a bombshell announcement. At a 3 March press conference, Welch revealed that the US government had decided to provide six Egyptian civil society NGOs with $1 million in financial grants. Atop this NGO list is the controversial Ibn Khaldun Centre for Development Studies, whose chairman is prominent sociologist and activist Saadeddin Ibrahim. Ibrahim spent more than a year behind bars before being exonerated in 2003 on charges related to election monitoring activities. His incarceration sparked a crisis in Egyptian-US relations, with Washington withholding $350 million in assistance aimed at softening the blow of a 2001 UN embargo on Iraq on Egypt's economy. Welch said the new grants were geared towards achieving what US President George Bush said about Egypt being "the great and proud nation... which showed the way towards peace in the Middle East... now show[ing] the way towards democracy."

Conservation groups urge US Government to follow WCD recommendations and begin monitoring federal dams US NGOs call for review of federal dams Released To the New President and 107th Congress: We need to change the way we think about dams in this country. Most dams in the United States were built to serve important social purposes. We know, however, that social goals change. We also know that dams do not last forever. The needs of the country that built stirring monuments to engineering such as Grand Coulee, Hoover and Glen Canyon Dams have changed. But the purposes and uses and facilities for most federal dams are set the day they are authorized and never change. We build them and then seem to forget that the world around them changes. The federal government owns at least 1932 significant dams . Most of these were authorized, designed and built decades ago, some almost a century ago. Some of these dams no longer serve the original purpose for which they were built. For most, the effect they have on rivers, fish and wildlife has never been examined closely because they were built long before the development of scientific environmental impact analysis. We know that these dams do indeed have significant environmental impacts - the litany of threatened and endangered species listings, declines in river-dependent fish and wildlife, and problems with water quality leave little doubt. If we now examined those almost two thousand major federal dams, we would be able to find many ways to improve their performance. In many cases, troublesome environmental impacts caused by dams and water projects can be mitigated simply by changing operations - changing the timing of water releases or using modern hydrological analysis to optimize benefits. In some cases modernizing facilities - installing efficient turbines and generators, eliminating wasted water and power, or installing fish ladders - can increase benefits. In a small number of cases those impacts are simply the price paid for the benefits and we either accept the cost or remove the dam.

The signatories complain that US diplomacy of using its commercial power and a 'might-makes-right bludgeon' to influence legislative processes abroad, encouraging trade wars and "destabilising fragile economies, democracies and ecologies." "We hope under your leadership, the US Department of State will use its influence to establish the US position in the world community, not as a power-broker for commercial interests, but as a partner in a multilateral framework collaborating for human rights and peace in the 21st century," the signatories add in a joint open letter to US Secretary of State, Mrs. Madeline Albright. They cite in this regard the US actions and moves in Thailand, Ecuador, India, Pakistan, Argentina, Ethiopia, Panama, Paraguay and Denmark.

60. Defending Siberia S Natural Resources - What Role For NGOs And The us and European government backing to Siberian resource investments In December 1995, 47 Russian and us ngos wrote to us Vice President Al Gore, http://www.isar.org/pubs/ST/RUsibresources49.html

ISAR Resources for Environmental Activists Defending Siberia's Natural Resources - What Role for NGOs And the West? Also at stake is the relatively positive attitude of Siberian citizens towards the West. Building positive US-Russian relations required no small amount of time and effort in post-Cold War diplomacy. In my travels through Siberia, however, I have noted a gradual but clear reversal of our gains, starting around 1994. Increasingly, Russian strangers on trains and in villages-unaware that I work in the environmental movement-eye me suspiciously and accost me with something like the following: "So you must be one of those American developers who is trying to turn us into a raw resource colony for the West! Well, we won't let you!" Their point of view is not entirely unfounded. Since the early 1990s, taxpayer-funded banks and agencies of US, European and other governments have been supporting joint ventures and studies to open up Siberia's natural resources. US and European government backing to Siberian resource investments reflects global trends in trade that are driving the economic pressure to open Siberia's wilderness. For instance, bids to log Siberia have been motivated by a dramatic drop in softwood availability elsewhere in the world. Under similar pressure, Russian gold mining, which is concentrated in Siberia and the Far East, jumped by over 25 percent in the first four months of 1997. The hunger for oil, particularly in the West, is fueling a rush of exploration and pipeline construction plans that reach some of Siberia's last untouched corners.
