Are NGOs Harbingers of Democratisation in Tanzania?
By Kukkamaa Tiina
FREE
OVERVIEW
Current development thinking of donors regards civil society and
non-governmental organizations as vehicles for democratization, while at
the same time NGOs function mainly for channeling aid. How do actions
and expectations meet?
Tiina Kukkamaa argues in this report that the current conception of
civil society does not really correspond to the options NGOs have,
especially in Africa. The report examines current discussions on the
role of civil society in development and democratization, followed by an
analysis of the relations Tanzanian NGOs have with donors and the state
through practical examples and three detailed cases.
