Comparação do relacionamento/métodos de trabalho das ONG's nacionais e internacionais com os seus grupos alvos na comunidade rural

Abstract

This research provides information on the different ways of relationship between NGOs (national and international) and the beneficiaries of the projects they carry out. The research took place in the Districts of Marracuene and Matutuíne, Province of Maputo and District of Xai-Xai, Province of Gaza. The works of six organizations were analyzed, three national (KULIMA, ADCR, UNAC and an equal number of foreign organizations (HELVETAS, VISÃO MUNDIAL and INTERMÓN) Methods such as observations, informal conversations and semi-interviews were used to collect data in the field. -structured based on a script. Data analysis was performed by comparing the data collected in the field with the participation theories of Prety (1994), Biggs (1989), Okali et al.(1994) and Nelson and Wright (1995) For the analysis of the sustainability of the projects implemented by these NGOs, four sustainability criteria from Kanshabu (1996) were used.The analysis carried out in the six NGOs concluded that there are similarities and differences between the ways in which NGOs interact with the target public in the rural community (See chap.IX.) As for sustainability, I can say that evaluating sustainability according to Kanshahu's criteria (1996) is not an easy exercise, since in a criterion the evaluation may be positive. but in another it does not happen (see acp.IX.4.). Another relevant aspect in this research is the fact that it puts some opinions (with the intention of arousing debate and consequent improvement of some ways of acting by the NGOs) of the communities (see chap.VII.3.). Points that are for future reflection in relation to the behavior of some NGOs in rural communities.
