OPS 46: Official Agency Funding of NGOs in Seven Countries: Mechanisms, Trends and Implications

This paper charts and analyses the mechanisms by which the official agencies of seven major European countries — Denmark, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the UK — distribute official development assistance to domestic NGOs. It provides details of historical developments of official aid funding of NGOs, overall trends and the implications of these funding mechanisms for NGOs and civil society. In addition, it outlines the influence of wider policy issues of official agencies, such as the emphasis on security and the aid harmonisation agenda.
