The Giving Game  |
| Exploring the NGO movement |
The last fifty years have seen a massive proliferation in the number of non-governmental organisations.
In a four part series, The Giving Game, Tim Whewell takes a critical look at the NGO movement.
Listen to Programme One:
Thousands of NGOs based in North America and Europe are committed to the alleviation of global poverty.
Thousands more local, indigenous organisations are hard at work to achieve the same goal throughout the developing world.
They're unelected, and some say, unaccountable.
In the first programme of the series, Tim Whewell traces the historical roots of international NGOs – where have they come from, and just how powerful are they?
Listen to Programme Two
There are thousands of non-governmental organisations throughout the world committed to the alleviation of global poverty.
Tim Whewell takes a critical look at NGOs based in North America and Europe that have such a powerful presence in many developing countries.
What gives them the right to do what they do?
In Ethiopia, Afghanistan and the UK he meets donors, aid workers, and recipients as he follows the aid pipeline that flows from north to south.
Listen to Programme Three
There are thousands of non-governmental organisations around the world committed to the alleviation of poverty.
Tim Whewell focuses on some of the thousands of indigenous NGOs that exist in developing countries.
He hears from Bangladeshis about their vibrant NGO sector, and visits Mongolia where women's non-governmental organisations have been a powerful presence since the fall of Communism.
Listen to Programme Four
Non-governmental organisations around the world committed to the alleviation of poverty now number thousands.
In the final part of the series, Tim Whewell examines one of the most controversial developments of the last decade in the NGO world: the evolving relationship between NGOs and big business.
He visits the delta community of Akassa in Nigeria, and hears from an innovative project in Vietnam.
Are NGOs supping with the devil, or is this the way forward both to secure funding and make corporations more socially responsible?
