NGOs and development
As a journalist every day you are carrying hundreds of news reports for me. Some are positive, encouraging and some are frustrating. Today I will provide you some news and you will decide whether the news is positive or negative.
We have a feeling that NGOs are doing an extremely good work in our country. Sometimes they are treated as the Parallel of the government. A common feeling has developed that NGOs, especially the donors, are second to God and the white people are the Angels to us. They are very honest, have a strong principle, hard working, committed towards work, do not compromise with ethics etc. But my experience (I worked for more than 17 years in the development sector of Bangladesh as an expert) has been different.
I would like to request you to investigate the matter. Hope you would be able to bring the truths regarding the role of the donor agencies and NGOs to full public glare.
