  • Quite a large number of civil society organisations and NGOs have no organically-evolved mandate from the citizens,"
  • Mkaronda said complaints about NGO conduct may sometimes stem from public misunderstanding about the roles of these groups: "For example, the Zimbabwean community in South Africa expects us to mobilise resources to sort out shelter, feeding and legal (immigration) status. Yet our role is to highlight the crisis in Zimbabwe."
  • believes self-regulation may hold the key to improving matters: "It would be a good idea if NGOs and civil society groups came up with a code of conduct like the one which guides other professionals such as medical doctors and lawyers."

    Interesting video that looks at NGO's and how they have in treated the African people that they support with their own programs that they think will benefit the people and not what the people themselves believe that they need. Also it says that one NGO in Ghana asked a girl to cry for a video they were making, in order to help raise more money, but that money did not even go to that girl/her people.
