Local actors continue to be marginalised and largely excluded from decision-making. Many often act as little more than sub-contractors to the INGO sector or face direct competition as INGOs have sought to set up their own ‘local’ organisations. But this dominant position is under threat. INGOs are now on the precipice of decline, having to face up...
