Question
Are NGOs a form of neocolonialism?
Position‹2 of 2

No, NGOs are not a form of neocolonialism

This position holds that the comparison with colonialism fails, because nongovernmental organisations hold no sovereignty and can compel no one, and because much of their work is sought by the communities and governments that host it.
