NGO Group Says Pork Barrel Scam Gives Them a Bad Name
MANILA, Philippines—The Caucus of Development NGO Networks (CODE-NGO) has called on the government to implement stricter measures to ensure the legitimacy and accountability of civil society organizations (CSO) that will receive pork barrel funds. In a position paper submitted to the Department of Budget and Management, House of Representatives and the Senate, CODE-NGO said “significant improvements in the policies and procedures for the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) have to be put in place immediately to safeguard precious taxpayer funds and to ensure the effective use of government funds for development and poverty reduction.” It said, however, that its members, consisting of 12 CSO networks with 1,600 base organizations nationwide, had yet to reach a consensus on whether to abolish the PDAF. While the PDAF remains, the group has recommended that stricter guidelines be put in place, especially since fake NGOs have been involved in the alleged P10-billion pork barrel scam believed to have been masterminded by Janet Lim-Napoles. “It is clear to us that the latest pork barrel scam unfortunately allegedly involves the use of fake NGOs by some ‘businesspersons,’ government officials and legislators.” ‘Grossly unfair’ “However, we firmly believe that any proposal to disqualify all NGOs/CSOs from receiving PDAF or other government financial support is grossly unfair to the many legitimate CSOs doing good work in many parts of the country and merely diverts attention from the true causes of the ‘pork barrel scam,’” said the CODE-NGO paper, a copy of which was furnished the Inquirer. CODE-NGO issued the paper in the wake of the pork barrel scam and the release of the Commission on Audit (COA) report validating claims that pork barrel funds had been misused. Sixto Donato C. Macasaet, CODE-NGO executive director, welcomed the comprehensive COA report but said it was unfortunate that around 80 dubious NGOs had been identified in the report as having received P6 billion in PDAF from 2007 to 2009. “But this should not tarnish the reputation of tens of thousands of NGOs in the country. We agree that the involved government agencies cannot wash their hands of this, same for the legislators. We hope there will be a speedy investigation and prosecution of all those involved in these anomalies, whether from Congress and the Senate, government agencies, private firms or fake NGOs,” Macasaet told the Inquirer. Annual report Among the recommendations of CODE-NGO is to require members of the House and the Senate to submit annual reports on their PDAF projects, which would then be distributed to members of local development councils and posted at municipal, city or provincial halls so that people would know where the money is going. As for the CSOs, CODE-NGO recommended that these be validated. One way is to require organizations to get a certification from the Philippine Council for NGO Certification (PCNC). The PCNC is an independent and CSO-initiated and -managed certification institution recognized by the Department of Finance. It certifies CSOs for good governance, financial management and track record for creating a positive impact on beneficiaries. CODE-NGO likewise urged the government to amend a COA circular so that organizations that have been operating for less than three years would not be qualified to receive PDAF funding support. “Only a small percentage of the PDAF funds has gone to NGOs and other CSOs to support programs and project undertaken as part of government-civil society partnerships. Also, only a small percentage of the thousands of NGOs/CSOs has received support funds from the PDAF of legislators,” the paper said. “Still, if ever PDAF funds are again used in the future to support NGOs/CSOs, we believe that policies and procedures have to be improved to ensure the legitimacy and accountability of these organizations,” it added. * Source link: http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/471735/ngo-group-says-pork-barrel-scam-gives-them-a-bad-name#ixzz2clpXdse4
Lanka Wants Accountability on NGO Funding
The Sri Lankan government says regulation, transparency and accountability of funding to NGOs and NPOs (Nonprofit Organisations) is a pre-requisite in the interest of national security and counter-terrorism as recognized by states. Speaking during the Clustered ID with the Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association on the rights to Peaceful Assembly at the ongoing session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva yesterday (Friday), the Sri Lankan delegation highlighted the obligation placed on states to adhere to the regulatory framework all countries are expected to put in place in compliance with 40 Recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force, which makes it mandatory to monitor fund transfers of all financial institutions inclusive of NPOs and INGOs (associations) and other financial institutions, in countering financing of terrorism, money laundering or other related trans-national crimes. “It has been Sri Lanka’s experience as a country that defeated one of the most ruthless terrorist organisations in the world, that certain NGOs and associations can also play a fundamental role in feeding terrorism and conflict. For example, front organisations of the LTTE posing as legitimate civil society organisations and charities based overseas formed part of a complex international terrorist network which through various means injected the funding and resources needed to nurture the thirty-year terrorist conflict in Sri Lanka,” the Sri Lankan delegation said. The Sri Lankan delegation also said that while peaceful assembly including demonstrations is permitted under the law, law enforcement authorities retain the right to disperse such assembly in the event it ceases to be peaceful and impinges on the rights of others, particularly in instances where such demonstrations lead to disturbance of public tranquillity. “Any person who alleges violation of these rights is entitled to seek redress through the highest court of Sri Lanka or to seek relief through the National Human Rights Commission,” the Sri Lankan delegation added.

Time to Listen
Have you seen the great, new, free book: Time to Listen, by Mary B Anderson, Dayna Brown and Isabella Jean. It presents a vast research exercise on what the people who receive aid say about our work. It’s a powerful critique and evidence that we – as NGOs and donors – ignore at our peril.
The researchers listened to 6,000 people who live in countries that receive aid. This serious effort was undertaken from 2005 to 2009, by the consistently thoughtful CDA Collaborative Learning Projects. (Mary B Anderson is the author of Do No Harm).
The authors found remarkable consistency in what people said. They were appreciative of aid, but thought it was not working as well as it should. The way aid was given undermined its effectiveness.
The book summarises that this huge number of people say that “the system of international assistance is deeply flawed” in two ways:
- It is organised as a delivery system, from ‘providers’ to ‘receivers’.
- It relies too much on blueprint approaches, which don’t work in different contexts.
A new approach …
The authors conclude with a rousing call to a new approach:
“The idea of international assistance needs to be redefined away from a system for delivering things and reinvented to support collaborative planning [and action].”
This would start with an analysis of what people already have, not what they need. It would reject pre-planned projects and standardised procedures. It would include a broad analysis of context and an open exploration of options for action.
I love this overall conclusion. I believe it and recognise it as a huge change from the reality of how aid is managed today. It directly fits with other serious commentaries, like the Tsunami Evaluation Coalition’s report (2007), Wallace’s The Aid Chain(2006), Ellerman’s Helping People Help Themselves (2005) and Chambers’ Whose Reality Counts (1997).
I started to write that it cannot be ignored. But like these other books, it can – and there’s all too great a risk that it will. For aid agencies, business as usual is an option. What will be different this time?
The new paradigm that the book calls for is part of the solution. It needs to be honed to be as simple and compelling as the narratives it aims to replace: “we give poor people things they need” and “our impact is social change“. That’s a tough standard.
… but how do we get there?
The solution also needs organisational tools and systems to put the new approach into practice. This is one of the most urgent priorities facing the sector today: what exactly should managers do?
I strongly agree with the authors’ general suggestions for improving how aid agencies work, such as:
- Make time for listening and reflection.
- Hire staff with the right values and commitment.
- Evaluate staff on the quality of relationships with collaborators and what recipients say about results.
- Start programme planning with genuine listening and collaboration.
- Simplify policies and procedures, and make them more flexible.
- Worry less about spending the original budget.
But they leave me with two big questions.
One. What factors push managers the other way? Why do we in aid agencies find it so hard to achieve these things? Senior managers need systems to manage diverse and complex operations. They are under pressure to handle relationships with demanding donors and spend budgets. Organisations have a strong urge to grow fast. It is all too human to tell people what to do, rather than listen. We need an analysis of these factors, to complement Time to Listen, so we can manage them in line with the new paradigm.
Two. What alternatives do we want agencies to use? We need specific management tools and systems that put the new paradigm – and our core values – into practice. There are very few serious contenders on offer. I’m a fan of Outcome Mappingand excited by the prospect of customer feedback. As a sector, we urgently need to come up with better ways of defining and assessing performance, that create the right accountabilities for everyone involved.
This book brings us to the brink of change. It’s a terrific addition to the literature and a must-read for any serious donor or NGO manager. It leaves us with the challenge of how to tackle these questions, so we build a road on from our old ways.*

Ini menyajikan latihan penelitian yang luas tentang apa yang orang-orang yang menerima bantuan mengatakan tentang pekerjaan kami. Ini adalah kritik yang kuat dan bukti bahwa kita – sebagai LSM dan donor – mengabaikan bahaya kami.
Para peneliti mendengarkan 6.000 orang yang tinggal di negara-negara yang menerima bantuan. Upaya ini serius dilakukan 2005-2009, oleh konsisten bijaksana CDA Proyek Belajar Collaborative. (Mary B Anderson adalah penulis Do No Harm).
Para penulis menemukan konsistensi yang luar biasa pada apa yang orang katakan. Mereka menghargai bantuan, tapi pikir itu tidak bekerja serta sebagaimana mestinya. Bantuan yang diberikan dengan cara merusak efektivitasnya.
Buku ini merangkum bahwa sejumlah besar orang mengatakan bahwa “sistem bantuan internasional sangat cacat” dalam dua cara:
Hal ini diselenggarakan sebagai sistem pengiriman, dari ‘penyedia’ untuk ‘receiver’.
Hal ini bergantung terlalu banyak pada pendekatan cetak biru, yang tidak bekerja dalam konteks yang berbeda.
Sebuah pendekatan baru …
Para penulis menyimpulkan dengan panggilan meriah untuk pendekatan baru:
“Ide bantuan internasional perlu didefinisikan ulang dari sistem untuk memberikan hal-hal dan diciptakan kembali untuk mendukung perencanaan kolaboratif [dan tindakan].”
Ini akan mulai dengan analisis apa yang orang sudah memiliki, bukan apa yang mereka butuhkan. Ini akan menolak proyek direncanakan dan prosedur standar. Ini akan mencakup analisis luas konteks dan eksplorasi terbuka pilihan untuk tindakan.
Saya suka keseluruhan kesimpulan ini. Saya percaya itu dan mengenalinya sebagai perubahan besar dari realitas bagaimana bantuan dikelola saat ini. Ini secara langsung sesuai dengan komentar serius lainnya, seperti laporan Evaluasi Koalisi Tsunami (2007), Wallace, The Aid Chain (2006), Membantu Orang Ellerman ini Bantuan Sendiri (2005) dan Chambers ‘siapa Realitas Hitungan (1997).
Saya mulai menulis bahwa hal itu tidak dapat diabaikan. Tapi seperti buku-buku lain, bisa – dan ada semua terlalu besar resiko yang akan. Untuk lembaga bantuan, bisnis seperti biasa adalah pilihan. Apa yang akan berbeda kali ini?
Paradigma baru bahwa buku panggilan adalah bagian dari solusi. Perlu diasah untuk menjadi seperti sederhana dan menarik sebagai narasi bertujuan untuk menggantikan: “Kami memberi orang miskin hal yang mereka butuhkan” dan “dampak kita adalah perubahan sosial”. Itu standar yang sulit.
… tapi bagaimana kita sampai di sana?
Solusi ini juga membutuhkan alat-alat organisasi dan sistem untuk menempatkan pendekatan baru dalam praktek. Ini adalah salah satu prioritas yang paling mendesak yang dihadapi sektor hari ini: apa sebenarnya yang harus dilakukan manajer?
Saya sangat setuju dengan saran umum penulis ‘untuk meningkatkan bagaimana bantuan lembaga kerja, seperti:
Luangkan waktu untuk mendengarkan dan refleksi.
Mempekerjakan staf dengan nilai-nilai yang tepat dan komitmen.
Mengevaluasi staf pada kualitas hubungan dengan kolaborator dan apa penerima katakan tentang hasil.
Mulai perencanaan program dengan mendengarkan asli dan kolaborasi.
Menyederhanakan kebijakan dan prosedur, dan membuat mereka lebih fleksibel.
Khawatir kurang tentang menghabiskan anggaran asli.
Tapi mereka meninggalkan saya dengan dua pertanyaan besar.
Satu. Faktor-faktor apa mendorong manajer dengan cara lain? Mengapa kita di lembaga bantuan merasa begitu sulit untuk mencapai hal-hal ini? Manajer senior membutuhkan sistem untuk mengelola operasi yang beragam dan kompleks. Mereka berada di bawah tekanan untuk menangani hubungan dengan menuntut donor dan menghabiskan anggaran. Organisasi memiliki dorongan yang kuat untuk tumbuh subur. Itu semua terlalu manusiawi untuk memberitahu orang apa yang harus dilakukan, daripada mendengarkan. Kita perlu analisis faktor-faktor ini, untuk melengkapi Waktu Mendengarkan, sehingga kita dapat mengelolanya sesuai dengan paradigma baru.
Dua. Alternatif apa yang kita inginkan lembaga untuk digunakan? Kita perlu alat khusus manajemen dan sistem yang menempatkan paradigma baru – dan nilai-nilai inti kami – dalam praktek. Ada sangat sedikit pesaing serius yang ditawarkan. Aku penggemar Pemetaan Hasil dan gembira dengan prospek umpan balik pelanggan. Sebagai sektor, kita sangat membutuhkan untuk datang dengan cara yang lebih baik untuk mendefinisikan dan menilai kinerja, yang menciptakan akuntabilitas yang tepat untuk semua orang yang terlibat.
Buku ini membawa kita ke jurang perubahan. Ini adalah tambahan yang hebat untuk literatur dan buku yang harus dibaca untuk setiap donor yang serius atau manajer LSM. Ini meninggalkan kita dengan tantangan bagaimana untuk menangani pertanyaan-pertanyaan ini, jadi kita membangun jalan dari cara lama kita. *
