Abstract

A need exists to find alternatives to the universalized model of administration required by the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and bilateral donors. Non‐governmental organizations (NGOs) are an attractive and feasible alternative which should be pursued from the “ground up” and accepted by the international lending community. Reviews the literature on NGOs and other associational forms; explores the possibilities for intermediary organizations; and suggests revised relationships with indigenous government administrators. Discusses the associational revolution, politicizing and depoliticizing the NGOs, and indigenous government administrators as facilitators.
