State Won’t Manage NGO Funds – NANGO

Analysts say that proposals to have all funding and assistance to Zimbabwe from humanitarian organisations channelled through government would present administrative and operational problems.

The National Association of Non-Governmental Organisations (NANGO) communications manager, Farai Ngirande, points out that it is too early to have the government controlling the funds as there is a serious need for institutional change.

Ngirande argues that, "It is also important to note that because of the brain drain especially in the last five years, government may not have the capacity to effectively handle the funds as most of the qualified personnel left the public service."

He says on the other hand, the NGO sector has been able to retain personnel who are best placed to undertake the humanitarian aid effort.
