The Operation of Non-Profit Organization Or Non-Government Organization
Abstract: To alleviate poverty, the Non-profit
Organizations emerged particularly in the third world countries. Beside
Government bodies, the non-profit organizations are to take steps towards
sustainable development of the communities. The development of the communities
will boost up macro economy of a country and growth will rise. Based on the
concept many NGOs are working in economies of the third world. While the
different organs of state machineries are lacking transparency, and
accountabilities, the corruption occurs. The interventions of Non-Government
organizations impel the society to prevail in a tranquil mood. On the contrary,
the profit motive or the curse of corruptions also cripples the NGO or NPO
movement in many economies.
Motive behind the force: In capitalist economy,
profit is the main concern, so that people have to work harder and harder to
find out the edges. In a country, the state budget depends on overseas grants
and loans, the emerging capitalist seize the opportunities to make money.
Reforms measures often fail to sustain. The suffering of mass people becomes
critical more and more. The government alone cannot take the pressure, in these
gaps the non-government organization or non -profit organization emerge.
Philanthropist initiate to operate NPO, based on their good will. In recent
trends, the concept of Non- Government Organization has been established. In
NGO movement, the participatory management takes place. It is a flavor of
autocratic and participatory management. The socialistic ideas intervene under
the democratic norms and values.
Programs of NGO or NPO: In developing economy,
poverty eradication is the main concern. To do it employment generation is a
crucial factor. To generate employment, others key issues come into the
purview. Education, health, sanitation, along with infrastructural facilities
combines the efforts of the NGOs in the least developing nations. Micro Credit
fosters the communities, receivers usually utilize loan in the specified fields
under the supervision of concerned NGO. Forestation, crops development,
community development, small business all concern towards the economic
emancipation of the mass people in the certain areas. Women empowerment is
another concern of Non-government organization. They usually help them have
training on different cottage industries, and the NGOs come forward to usher
the sick industries, once the certain clan dependent on that particular
industry. NPO, Non Profit Organization deals with the distressed in the society
to help them participate in the economic activities. Alternatively, sometimes the
NPOs only help the poor to sustain for period. The long-term impact is often
absent. In Advanced nations, USA or Canada is utilizing the alternative
economic force. In these countries, Small Business Administration, SBA is
providing technical guidance to the small business units. SBA tries to develop
entrepreneurships. Grants or funding is available only for NPOs, Charities, or
Foundations.
Fund allocation for NGOs: It is difficult tusk
for the NGOs. The mother NGOs often donates the smaller NGOs on projected or
on-going programs. The funding agencies usually donate the established NGOs, as
a result the good will of smaller NGOs often fail. In the beginning, some
affluent people together collect fund to run their programs. The programs are
common other than innovative. To collect fund, a number of steps has to be
taken, the NGO should have
• constitution or memorandum of association,
article of association varying region to region, country to country,
• registration under the social department in the concerned country,
• registered office,
• a monogram
• accreditation from the national directorate,
• for micro credit or small loan requiring permission from state financial
institution
• formation of project proposal,
• organizational policy
• span of management
• fund allocation for programs
• budget preparation for internal staffs of the concerned NGO
Utilization of micro credits or small loan and
technical expertise: The programs that are taken by the concerned NGOs are
based on certain guidelines. To be successful in a small venture, the receiver
has to know the business properly, the market, and the products. According to
project proposal, the NGOs workers have to train and supervise the loan takers.
The supervisors will receive the weekly or monthly installment. It appears
often the money drains in different formats, the program does not sustain, the
loan becomes bad debt. It happens due to managerial philosophy and lack of
strict supervision. On the other hand, the people who are receiving loan are
dealing with their small business smoothly. It happens because of their future
forecasting and proper counseling. The many areas in which the loans can be
activated can contribute in the economic development. The areas can be pond
culture, floriculture, grocery, poultry, cattle development, milk production,
information technology including software development, data management,
e-commerce, and so on.
Sustainability: In recent trends, donors direct
the NGOs to stand their own foot. To generate revenues from different project,
they take the win- win procedures. The loan receivers and the donors choose
certain projects. Based on this conception they collect the necessary funds and
invest into the projects. The supervision and technological expertise often
transfer into the certain areas of the project. The schedule of the project is
fixed. The payback period is also fixed. The rate of interest has to bear by
the receiver along with the original amount. Within a certain time, the project
comes to a break-even point, and the sustainability arises. The concerned NGO
becomes self-dependent partially, that organization again finds out more
projects and invests the capital from the revenue generation from successful
project. The beneficiaries of the successful project become the member of the
win-win situation.
Hence, the Non-government organization is also
uplifting the general mass. They provide loan, supervise and transfer the
technical expertise to the projects. It is one of their developing organs. If
the small business units can develop with the assistance of the concerned NGO,
the project finishes; the organization has to look for funds again. The
operation is going on based on the availability of the fund.
Conclusion: In different economies, the
government provides some soft grants to the NGOs yearly. It is imperative that
Government has to patronize the small NGOs in different regions to uplift the
economies and ultimately it propels the macro economy of the country.
