- 研究成果概要
- Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) have internationally increased and are recognized as actors which are close to local people and represent their voice. More recently, their spheres of activity have broadened from service delivery to political advocacy and human rights activities. Scholars such as Korten (1990) and Edwards (2004) also argue that NGOs can empower people, influence national policies, and promote transformation for sustainable development. At the same time, many governments have enacted relatively restrictive laws directed at NGOs. In Ethiopia, the Civil Society Organization (CSO) Law was enacted in 2009, affecting other neighboring countries in sub-Saharan Africa. In what spheres of activities are NGOs expected to work under this law in Ethiopia? This research examined effect of the CSO law on the NGO sector and its response by NGOs. The analysis found that regulations set by the CSO law have regulated not only advocacy and human rights activities but also service delivery conducted by NGOs. The result is that many NGOs are minimizing their spheres of activity and losing their legitimacy.
