Reactions?
Conclusions?
Observations?
There must be a lot of overlap on administration etc. Is there someway to have more coordination so that more resources actually reach those who need them.
ReplyDeleteI read there were something like 10,000 NGO's in Haiti and still the country is in dire straits. Certainly it would be better with fewer groups.
This is what happens when the government becomes the primary client. A market responds to demand and the government formalizes the demand process. To participate in the market, the "supplier" must formally organize and be recognized. Whatever happened to giving food, clothes, and money to your neighbor?
ReplyDeleteI amd surprised there are over 250 orgs in DFW with revenue over $5M. That's a pretty good size, and I would not have guessed there were that many. And another 450 over $1M.
ReplyDeleteAre these broken down by type of organization? What do these orgs do?
