NON-GOVERNMENTAL PUBLIC ACTION - RESEARCH PROGRAMME

28 June 2008
The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Non-Governmental Public Action research programme is a unique opportunity to further understand the impact of non-governmental public action in reducing poverty and exclusion, and in social transformation, from an international comparative and multi-disciplinary perspective. Public action by and for disadvantaged people, undertaken by non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and other actors, is increasingly significant at local and international levels. The focus of the programme is not just on NGOs, but on a broader range of formal and informal non-governmental actors concerned with poverty reduction and social transformation. These might include advocacy networks, campaigns and coalitions, trades unions, peace groups, social forums, rights-based groups, social movements and business in the community initiatives. Building systematically on research to date, this programme will develop theory, generate new empirical theory, and foster beneficial linkages between researchers and users. The programme is divided into three strands: Organisations and non-governmental public action The non-governmental sector and public action Global processes and impacts in non-governmental public action.

OBSERVATOIRE DE L'ACTION HUMANITAIRE - AID WATCH

10 October 2006
Aid Watch recognizes the following findings: 1) The modern humanitarian movement has been gaining great influence over thepast three decades. 2) In France, research on humanitarian aid in armed conflicts is incomplete and disorganized in comparison to that from our Anglo-Saxon colleagues (especially the Refugee Studies Centre in Oxford, the Humanitarian and War Project in the US or the Centre for Development Research in Copenhagen). 3) The NGOs working in or about conflict situations have become real political actors on the global diplomacy scene: lobbies which have contributed to the establishment of an International Criminal Court or the signature of a treaty banning the use of landmines. 4) The humanitarian movement has reached a stage that allows outside criticisms without harming the cause. 5) The evaluation of humanitarian programs is made internally, creating a transparency issue. Many NGOs are, along with their financial backers, judges of the quality of their own actions. Following an accountancy logic, the audits of financial backers focus more on the use of the funds than on the impact of international aid on the receiving populations. 6) The different private structures composing the humanitarian movement are far more difficult to seize and study than the institutional actors of aid, namely states and intergovernmental organizations. Les diverses composantes associatives du mouvement humanitaire sont beaucoup plus difficiles à saisir et à étudier que les acteurs classiques de l'aide au développement, à savoir les Etats et les organisations intergouvernementales. 7) It is therefore necessary to set up a database on NGOs.
