The Elusive Promise of NGOs in Africa: Lessons from Uganda by S. Dicklitch Hardc

Description: The Elusive Promise of NGOs in Africa by S. Dicklitch Dicklitch challenges the dominant discourse of neo-liberalism which places NGOs and civil society at the forefront of democratization and development in Africa. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This work challenges the dominant discourse of neo-liberalism which places NGOs and civil society at the forefront of democratization and development in Africa. Based on nine months field research in Uganda, the study draws on evidence from the "successfully" liberalizing country and shows how NGO potential for democratization and development has been subverted by state directives, structural conditions and historical conditions, as well as the internal limitiations of NGOs.
