Non Government organizations in Bangladesh are intervening with foreign donation over the last couple of decades with increased booming in size. But the poverty situation of the country does not give good impression of such development initiatives done so long. Still forty percent of the total population live below poverty line. It is alleged that very small amount of resources can be penetrated to the beneficiaries. Number of issues associated with NGO governance, regulatory framework, program selection and other reasons are responsible behind it. This book therefore, gives a snapshot of genesis,growth and range of activities of foreign funded NGOs in Bangladesh and attempts to identify the key factors that impede the development activities operated by such NGOs. It also examines the way out for promoting effective use of foreign donation in NGO sector. The analysis should help understanding the overall scenario of activities and constraints of effective outcome from foreign aided NGOs in the country and should be especially useful to NGO professionals, donor organizations, academicians and those who work in social research.
