Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in the country are under the spotlight. They are being accused of having no impact after it merged that they spend almost 80 per cent of their budgets on administration, sharply limiting their impact in communities.
Administrative costs are under scrutiny in both private and public
organizations everywhere these days. I'm very disappointed to learn that
as much as 80% of NGO money is spent that way, and hope the donations I
make to them don't spend more than 20% on administration. I also agree
that the goal of helping people to achieve self-sufficiency is optimal.
However, until a location has good education, sanitation, and food, that
can only remain a goal. Each country, or better yet, a pan-African
organization, has to be the foremost and most active participant in the
welfare of its people.
