Activities and Relationship Between Government and NGOs
|
It is the traditional religious and cultural custom for the Myanmar to ever contribute voluntary service in social development activities. According to local needs and situations, the contribution of social services has been made by the Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) with the collaboration of community. The NGOs are basically mobilized and organized by socially oriented mass of the people depending on local situations, their needs and community response. They are established and operated with their own potentialities, financial resources and initiatives. At present, with the encouragement of the government there have been abundance of NGOs in Myanmar, national as well as international NGOs. Since they are based on local knowledge, experiences and enthusiasm, they have advantages of doing quite a lot of social |
development activities which are complementing or supplementing the Government social programmes activities. They occasionally undertake survey, more or less fulfill local social conditions and support government agencies on specific needs. As part of family and child welfare service, a number of community supported day-care centres and pre-primary schools have been encouraged and established with the cooperation and collaboration of NGOs, utilising the services of personnel trained by the Department of Social Welfare. Similarly, in order to promote youth welfare service and women welfare service, technical guidance and supervision are provided to NGOs so that they may be able to systematically establish homes for the orphans and destitute children, youth centres and homes for destitute women. |
