The Development Studies Association (DSA) has chosen INTRAC to be the convenor of the NGOs in Development Study Group. This group brings together development practitioners and academics to discuss issues of relevance to NGOs.
Recently, the group has considered international NGOs and migrants as parallel development actors, and faith-based organisations in development.

NGOs in Development: Analysing Trends and Shaping Research Agendas For The Next Five Years
This interactive session identified current trends in aid and their impacts for development NGOs. Questions addressed included: What are the impacts of NGOs’ increasing involvement in service delivery?; What are the issues relating to research on NGOs in development?; What are the impacts of decentralisation of the voluntary sector?; How is the blurring of security issues with aid policy affecting civil society? The outcomes of this interactive session were aimed at feeding into shaping research agendas on NGOs engaged in development over the next five years.
