Non Governmental Organizations Today in Bangladesh

From a perilous beginning, Bangladesh has attained notable advancements in economic and social development in about four decades. Since it won its independent in 1971 following a bloody war, many, in the international community were doubtful about the country’s long-term economic sustainability. Some observers predicted a state of continuing aid dependency, while others believed if a country with such enormous and innumerable development problems as Bangladesh could make strides in development, then possibly other developing countries could as

Nonprofit organizations are a vast and diverse community that encompass many different entities and organizations. Nonprofit organizations are defined as associations with a legal status which is nonprofit (making); are financially independent of government; and are actively engaged in the political, social and economic transformation of society; with an aim to mobilize people for self and national development beyond mere basic needs (Wadongo, 2014, p. 17). The two main roles of nonprofit organizations are to attract resources and allocate these resources to various beneficiaries. However, protection from market rigidity, with no bottom line of stock market price to measure performance or exposure to public elections, leads to greater

Grand Junction, Colorado is a town in Western Colorado that has taken steps to excel in the health care field by providing cost effective and efficient care to their community. In lecture this week, we have learned that the key system concepts are: shared vision, shared reality, people, parts, interrelationships, leverage, adaptability and iterative learning.1 The article: Grand Junction, Colorado: A Health Community That Works, is an example of a patient-centered medical home that currently exists in the United States, and should be looked at as a possible solution to our current health care overspending crisis. I believe that the health care provided in Grand Junction, Colorado has excelled in all these concepts and will discuss their

~ Today the bank functions as an international organization that attempts to fight poverty by offering developmental assistance to middle and poor-income countries. By giving loans, and offering advice and training in both the private and public sectors, the World Bank aims to eliminate poverty by helping people

The book, Microfinance and its Discontent: Women in Debt in Bangladesh written by Lamia Karim, gives us account on what causes a culture to be known as “economy of shame” status, such as in the case of Bangladesh. She writes on a subject that is a top list priority in the economical world these days, the corrupt ways NGO’s lenders do business not only in Bangladesh but across the world, however, she centralizes her views on Bangladesh and only a handful of NGO’s. Even though this was primarily a look at Bangladesh, it has resulted in capturing the attention of people across the globe not only with the NGO’s mention in the book but resulting in a closer look at all NGO’s and how they serve the people. Karim shares with the readers how the 1980’s nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) led in the way of microfinance institutions and claimed that they were providing women with an empowerment tool by issuing them loans. We find that over 80% of borrows are women and most are economically challenged already. With that being stated Karim also takes a look at how and why that is, she discusses the long term effects it is having on women and how it is furthering the exploitation of women in Bangladesh. She looked at how this type of exploitation has not only weakened further women’s economy in Bangladesh but has also strengthen the power NGO’s have over the people (mainly women) at the same time. It takes a look at this type of expansion and brands NGO’s use as a “shadow state

The non-profit sector in the United States is the fifth largest in the world. It is important to look at not just who gives this money, but also who, and what, purpose does it serve with such organization. YMCA, is dedicated to serve humanity at the best ways possible, it has established centers, and office, in the united states and throughout the world. In 1844, George Williams launched the YMCA movement in London as a volunteer, and his example persists in the expansion of the Y across the globe. In the United States, early YMCA programs were run almost entirely by volunteers. (YMCA 2017)

As part of ethical in organization, Board of Directors has a responsibility and opportunity to ensure the entire organization is attuned to high ethical standards and also aligned with values, goals and objectives of the organization. Foremost, in a profit organization, the board’s primary objective is to oversee the organization’s business activities and management for the benefit of all stakeholders, including shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers, and the community. In a non-profit organization, the board reports to a different set of stakeholders in particular, the local community that the non-profit

Any facility or organization needs to have a structure in order to function effectively. I found two nonprofit hospitals just an hour apart from each other. The first hospital is Brattleboro Memorial Hospital (BMH) a 61-bed not-for-profit community hospital located in southeastern Vermont with a mission to provide community-based quality health services delivered with compassion and respect (BMH, n.d., para. 1-2). I have not found an organizational chart in their website, however, BMH is governed by bylaws and a volunteer board of directors in which according to Yoder-Wise (2015) coincides with the definition for private non-profit organizations. That said, the board of directors provides their expertise to make decisions on the overall governance

There are tons of non-profit organizations that have made tremendous changes in our world but are these organizations providing the essentials people need? The Human Rights Watch Organization is a coordination that was made to make the international world a more efficient place it was created by Helsinki Watch to help defend and protect human rights as well as give voice to the oppressed and hold oppressors accountable for their crimes. According to their website (hrw.org) this organization has helped strengthened the rights of children, women, refugees and migrant workers as well as bring up topics such as domestic violence, rape, war crime and many more to help people know more about what rights they attain. It is wise to contribute time or money to this nonprofit organization because as a human being that loves freedom and equality this organization provides the essentials needed to help people attain their rights internationally and it’s great that it was developed by people who voluntarily signed up to help achieve change for

A nonprofit organization is one that is tax-exempt and serves the public’s interest. Their purpose must be charitable, educational, scientific, religious, or literary. The organization does not declare a profit, instead uses all the revenue available after standard operating expenses in serving the public interest. The individuality of nonprofit organizations is not obvious, possibly they are no different from private organizations; they are influenced by business motives and opportunities for ambition just as private organizations. Nonprofits are not independent of private enterprise or the government. Nonprofits compete and collaborate with other organizations in many ways in order to finance theorganization, develop markets for

The nutrition classes will give them the chance to demonstrate culturally accepted food preparation for their young children using locally available food.

Having never directly worked for a not-for-profit organisation before, I was not sure what exactly to expect. However, I had some preconceptions. Logically speaking, I assumed a not-for-profit organisation would have far less resources, for lack of a better word, be disorganised; given the reliance on a pool of volunteers rather than salaried employees. Furthermore, I expected to receive minimal supervision and/or training as I appreciated that my supervisor’s time was extremely valuable.

Natural disasters and political issues in Bangladesh during the 1940s and subsequent decades provided the block for the development of what is today one of the world’s largest nongovernment organization (NGO) sectors. Famine took more than 3 million lives in 1943, and Typhoon killed more than 500,000 in 1970. Ranada Prasad Shaha is a coal trading business man who built the Kumudini Hospital to provided free medical care and treatment to people from different communities by that he fulfilled his childhood dream also he placed all his companies and businesses in a trust to provide support and welfare of human being. The Kumudini Welfare Trust began its operations in March that same year, known for offering free health care, and also provide educational opportunities and that increase employment opportunities for local population especially help to increase employment rate of women and girls. Union-based multipurpose cooperative societies replaced village-based cooperatives between 1947 and 1970. During that time society was introduced with some large cooperative enterprise like National Fishermen Society, National Industrial Society, and Sugarcane Grower’s Federation. During 1955 State Bank started to provide agricultural loan to help cooperatives to initiate their activities in society.In 1955 the Bangladesh Academy for Rural Development (BARD) was established at Comilla and in 1959 on an experimental basis the Comilla Cooperative Model was lunched. Throughout the

In review of The World Bank Bangladesh’s objectives laid forward in the solicitation, I strongly believe that my 5 years (approx) of experience (of which 2.5 years in USAID/Bangladesh) is exactly in line with the current needs. I am a skilled young professional trained and experienced in environmental safeguard and project management.

- Like Nelson Mandela once stated, “Overcoming poverty is not just an act of charity, but an act of justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life.” Today, everything has become more about money, and yourself. People forgot their past, where the happiness of others, was the joy of their own, and where enlightening the poor, was a common act of compassion. But, there are still some people today who keep and give this thought an importance. Today i will be your host Sunpreet and to get started i will like to introduce you all to some of those people who have dedicated their lives toward helping the poor. Please welcome the representatives of the Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee, an NGO which is successfully helping the poor all around the world. Standing with me are the representative of the Health department, Amneet, of the Education department, Alisha, and the representative of the environment department, Gurtabaya. To get started, inform us a little more about the purpose of this committee Gurtabaya.
