While the reasons for supply of aid are varied, certainly furthering the institutional or national strength of the donor is a primary consideration. While NGOs may not entirely voice this agenda, NGOs are increasingly linked to the economic and political motives behind such aid. Additionally, NGOs’ position between governments and economies means that they face controls that government recipients of international aid funds do not often face. This positions the NGOs in a constrained environment. In this context, NGOs sometimes act as agents of state or global economic forces. This article addresses these four points as a means of addressing my original question.  \nGrowing Links to Global and Bilateral ODA  \nCICE’s focus on NGOs in 1998 was on the heels of what was then a relatively new trend – NGOs’ increasing role as direct recipients of aid. Historically, some INGOs (International NonGovernmental Organizations) had largely been recipients of grants from governments; rarely did this apply to local NGOs.  \nGlobal data on NGOs is notoriously lacking and of poor quality, necessitating various authors to work around this problem. Writing for the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development, Agg (2006) looked at trends in aid to NGOs using Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) data, though she acknowledges the unreliability of the OECD as a source. OECD categories, she reminds us, do not incorporate all NGO funding. Nevertheless, the trends are clear. Table 1 shows the percentage of ODA given to NGOs since 1984.  \nTable 1: Percent of ODA directed to NGOs, 1984-2003  \n\n| Year | % of ODA to NGOs |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1984 | 0.2% |\n| 1991 | 2.3% |\n| 1998 | 4.7% |\n| 2003 | 5.9% |\n| Derived from: Agg (2006), p.17, Figure 10. |  |\n\nIn 1984, less than one percent of the ODA was given directly to NGOs. By 2003, the percentage had grown to six percent. This translates into a substantial amount of money as shown in Table 2.  \n© 2008 Current Issues in Comparative Education, Teachers College, Columbia University, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Current Issues in Comparative Education, Vol. 10(1/2): 16-21.  \nLynn Ilon  \nTable 2: ODA dollars to NGOs: 1984-2003 (USD)  \n\n| Year | Millions of USD ODA to NGOs |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1984 | 0.8m |\n| 1991 | 900.0m |\n| 1998 | 1,100.0m |\n| 2003 | 2,200.0m |\n| Derived from: Agg (2006), p. 23, Figure 16 |  |\n\nUSAID (United States Agency for International Development) has developed an “NGO Sustainability Index”(USAID, May 2007) which track progress of NGO development – a clear indication that NGO strengthening is important enough to track and index. How are NGOs faring in an environment where they are increasingly funded through international aid? Agg (2006) examines the reasons behind this growth and disputes two commonly argued (often heralded) notions. First, she notes that governments frequently argue that NGOs are more efficient in getting aid to local recipients than are governments (who sometimes contract with NGOs) . She finds no study that supports this conclusion (Agg, 2006) . She examines the “capacity building” notion. This posits that, if local NGOs are a more direct voice of local communities, then ODA to NGOs might be explained by a desire to build NGO capacity. Agg (2006) along with Fisher and Green (2004) dispute this notion arguing, instead, that the relationship between local NGOs and their global partners is uneasy, complex and not always advantageous to local NGOs, or their ability to speak for local communities.  \nUnease in a Global Environment  \nIncreasing NGO funding has meant increasing integration into a","cbCaip8sPCYEJIEb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaip8sPCYEJIEb","pdf",198550,"English","# Growing Market for NGO Influence\n## Growing Links to Global and Bilateral ODA\n## Unease in a Global Environment","[{\"question\":\"How does the document describe the growth of ODA to NGOs over time?\",\"answer\":\"It shows that the share of ODA directed to NGOs rose from very small levels in the 1980s to around six percent by 2003.
