#USAID is #SeekingApplications for a Cooperative Agreement from qualified U.S. Non-Profit Organizations #NGOs & U.S. For Profit Organizations (that forgo profit), to implement a 5 yr program, entitled the “#Gaza#Health#Recovery Activity.”
I'd always wondered why it seems like, despite their limited size, environmental #NGOs in #Japan would all put out basically the same report, or press release, on the same issues, leaving so many others untouched. Why not diversify a little and broaden, instead of all pushing the same message?
Now I've figured out why. Because they're getting funding from the same sources, who's pushing that issue.
Twelve of Israel’s most prominent human rights organisations have signed an open letter accusing the country of failing to comply with the international court of justice’s (ICJ) provisional ruling that it should facilitate access of humanitarian aid into Gaza.“
How Rich Donors Have Caused More Harm Than Good to India's Education
In India, NGOs like Pratham have pushed programmes and ideas on government-run schools which the world has found unacceptable. The alarm bells about Pratham, and the ASER survey’s impact, when rung by a few journalists, have not been heard.
The social entrepreneur opens up about how her divorce reconnected her with #nature, why she believes in the power of taking small steps & how she’s uplifting other #women through her #NGOs, #WomenOnAMission & #HerPlanetEarth.
With privilege comes great responsibility.” This was what Christine Amour-Levar’s mother told her when she was a child & the words continue to inform her choices as an adult.

Pierwsze "Cześć" na Mastodonie! Przez niektórych pewnie wyczekane, przez innych nie bardzo, więc zaczniemy od przedstawienia się.
Jesteśmy organizacją społeczną z Polski - stowarzyszeniem kilkudziesięciu osób działających na rzecz jawności życia publicznego. Nasz konik i główny temat, którym się zajmujemy to prawo do informacji. W związku z tym zadajemy dużo pytań każdej władzy - od partii politycznych, przez szkoły i urzędy gmin po ministerstwa czy Kancelarię Prezydenta, a że z odpowiadaniem różnie bywa, to często bywamy w sądach. Robimy też bezpłatne poradnictwo prawne w tym temacie i organizujemy szkolenia z kontroli obywatelskiej, bo nie ma przejrzystego państwa bez aktywnych i świadomych swoich praw obywateli.
Przyświeca nam idea dobrego rządzenia, czyli takiego, które jest nierozłącznie związane z odpowiedzialną i otwartą władzą.
Będziemy tu pisać o tym, co robimy, komentować i zapraszać Was do wspólnych działań. Chyba się polubimy, nie? Jeśli macie do nas jakieś pytania na początek, to chętnie odpowiemy.🙂
RT by @daniel_freund: #NGOs sind nicht das Problem intransparenter und korrupter Politik. Der Bericht des Kollegen @markuspiepermep versucht trotzdem, die Zivilgesellschaft zum Sündenbock für #Qatargate zu stilisieren. Ich sage: das Problem sind korrupte Politiker!
CPR published reports on air pollution, funded protests and legal battles against projects such as coal mines, government source says
The Centre for Policy Research said the Ministry’s decision was incomprehensible and disproportionate, and some of the reasons provided challenged the very basis of the functioning of a research institution.
More than 60 members of #Filipino-#Palestinian families remain housed inside the University of the #Philippines (UP) after struggling to find shelter since their #repatriation from war-torn #Gaza. They will only be allowed to stay with the university – an arrangement brokered by #NGOs – until December 21, before the holiday period. Beyond that, there are no prospects.
About 10 #NGOs told reporters on the sidelines of a humanitarian #summit hosted by #France that a simple pause in the fighting would not alleviate what they called a #humanitarian#catastrophe
Ahead of FATF Meeting, Report Says India Weaponising Terror Financing, Money Laundering Laws Against NGOs
A shadow report compiled by anonymous civil society actors and forwarded to the FATF finds that India has been indiscriminately targeting NGOs using “unproven” and “frivolous claims”.
#NGOs retten Menschenleben Herr Murks!!!
Einer der reichsten Männer der Welt beschwert sich doch tatsächlich darüber dass die ärmsten Menschen der Welt vor dem Ertrinken gerettet werden
India ‘weaponising global anti-terror fund’ to crack down on civil society groups, Amnesty says
The Indian government has exploited the assessment reports of a global money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog to target “legitimate human rights work of civil society”, a new report by Amnesty International said. More than 20,600 NGOs had their licences cancelled in India in last ten years, Amnesty says.
#Bosnia and Herzegovina: authorities of Republika Srpska should refrain from further restricting the rights of #NGOs and foster an enabling environment for their work.

Wir suchen jemanden, der netzpolitik.org maßgeblich mitgestaltet. Wir suchen eine neue Geschäftsführung.
Die Position ist angelegt als gestaltende und koordinierende Rolle. Kennt ihr wen, der dafür in Frage kommt? Oder seid ihr selbst die Person, die wir suchen? Ich freue mich, wenn ihr das Gesuch weiter reicht.
I initially went to #Indonesia, back in 2011, because of the country’s troubling history with deforestation, driven primarily, historically, by demand for tropical commodities including #palmoil#paperpulp & #rubber.
In the past decade, as I’ve covered these issues for numerous outlet, much has changed. In some ways there has been real progress in increasing traceability and stemming deforestation, but at the same time, much of the supply chain remains opaque.
In fact, many western #NGOs were working, at least according to their websites, on sustainable supply chain in China.
You won’t find many of their perspectives in the article. They wouldn’t speak with me. In fact, I’ve never had so many declined interview, or non-responses ever before. And in nearly all the cases, my request was merely to learn more about their work, nothing confrontational.
Smadar #Lavie: "The refusal of elite #military reservists to attend to their periodic training […] is conceived as another Ashkenazi privilege. In general, being pro-Palestinian in #israel often requires contacts and funds to pay bail rather than rot in prison in case one is arrested during a solidarity visit to West Bank villages."
Smadar #Lavie: #israel#Mizrahi left "#NGOs are budget dependent. If there are donations, they usually come from progressive Zionist donor organizations of the American-Jewish diaspora, and NGOs need to adapt their activism so that they don’t offend the donors. The image diaspora Jews have of Israel is that all Jews are equal in the homeland of the Jews."
