This article discusses the dynamics of women`s activism of Yayasan Sahabat Ibu (YSI) in empowering women in Yogyakarta. YSI was formed by woman activists who concerned to recover children and women after the earthquake in Yogyakarta through philanthropic activities. Their activism continues following some natural disasters in Yogyakarta from 2006-2012. The activists then declared themselves as non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The orientation of the YSI movement has also changing changed from charity to productive women empowerment.This orientation were caused by changes in the way activists view the problems of women in Yogyakarta. YSI then runs three programs namely the Maternity and Child Benefit Program (PROSIBU), Mandiri Empowerment Program (PRIMA) and Smart and Skilled Mother Program (PINTAR). In this paper, The dynamics of YSI is discussed in three points; first, portraits of women’s activism and philanthropy in Indonesia; second, the dynamism of YSI activism from charity toward productive empowerment; third, YSI’s efforts to escape the dependence of philanthropic or fundraising assistance from donor agencies through the development of productive economics and the establishment of savings and credit cooperatives.Artikel ini membahas dinamika aktivisme perempuan Yayasan Sahabat Ibu (YSI) dalam melakukan pemberdayaan perempuan di Yogyakarta. YSI terbentuk dari perempuan-perempuan aktivis yang tergerak untuk melakukan recovery terhadap anak-anak dan perempuan pasca gempa bumi di Yogyakarta melalui kegiatan filantropis dan motivasi. Aktivisme mereka berlanjut seiring beruntunnya bencana alam di Yogyakarta dari tahun 2006-2012. Para aktivis tersebut kemudian mendeklarasikan diri sebagai Lembaga Swadaya Masyarakat (LSM). Orientasi gerakan YSI pun berubah dari kegiatan karitatif menuju pemberdayaan perempuan yang produktif Perubahan orientasi tersebut disebabkan oleh perubahan cara pandang para aktivis terhadap permasalahan perempuan di Yogyakarta. YSI kemudian menjalankan tiga program yaitu Program Santunan untuk Ibu dan Anak (PROSIBU), Program Pemberdayaan Ibu Mandiri (PRIMA) dan Program Ibu Cerdas dan Terampil (PINTAR). Dalam tulisan ini, Dinamika YSI dibahas dalam tiga poin; pertama, potret aktivisme perempuan dan filantropi di Indonesia. Kedua, dinamika aktivisme YSI dari karitatif menuju pemberdayaan produktif. Ketiga, Upaya YSI untuk melepaskan diri dari ketergantungan bantuan filantropis atau fundraising dari lembaga donor melalui pengembangan ekonomi produktif dan pembentukan koperasi simpan pinjam.

Donor Agencies

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in under-developed countries are receiving funds from donor agencies for various purposes, including relief from natural disasters and other emergencies, promoting education, women empowerment, economic development, and many more. Some donor agencies have lost their trust in NGOs in under-developed countries, as some NGOs have been involved in the misuse of funds. This is evident from irregularities in the records. For instance, in education funds, on some occasions, the same student has appeared in the records of multiple NGOs as a beneficiary, when in fact, a maximum of one NGO could be paying for a particular beneficiary. Therefore, the number of actual beneficiaries would be smaller than the number of claimed beneficiaries. This research proposes a blockchain-based solution to ensure trust between donor agencies from all over the world, and NGOs in under-developed countries. The list of National IDs along with other keys would be available publicly on a blockchain. The distributed software would ensure that the same set of keys are not entered twice in this blockchain, preventing the problem highlighted above. The details of the fund provided to the student would also be available on the blockchain and would be encrypted and digitally signed by the NGOs. In the case that a record inserted into this blockchain is discovered to be fake, this research provides a way to cancel that record. A cancellation record is inserted, only if it is digitally signed by the relevant donor agency.

Project management is an autonomous discipline that is applied to a huge diversity of activity sectors and that has evolved enormously over the last decades. International Development Cooperation has incorporated some of this discipline’s tools into its professional practice, but many gaps remain. This article analyzes donor agencies’ project management approaches in their funding mechanisms for projects implemented by non-governmental organizations. As case study, we look at the Spanish decentralized donor agencies (Spanish autonomous communities). The analysis uses the PM2 project management methodology of the European Commission, as comparison framework, to assess and systematize the documentation, requirements, and project management tools that non-governmental organizations need to use and fulfill as a condition to access these donors’ project funding mechanisms. The analysis shows coincidence across donors in the priority given to project management areas linked to the iron triangle (scope, cost, and time) while other areas are mainly left unattended. The analysis also identifies industry-specific elements of interest (such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals) that need to be incorporated into project management practice in this field. The use of PM2 as benchmark provides a clear vision of the project management areas that donors could address to better support their non-governmental organization-implemented projects.

Natural disasters such as cyclones, droughts, earthquakes, floods, landslides, volcanoes, or pandemics routinely have cross-border implications. Transboundary risks of natural disasters tend to be the greatest for neighboring countries but often extend regionally or even globally. Even disasters with seemingly localized impacts contained within the national borders of a given state may have indirect short-term or long-term effects on other countries through refugee flows, conflict spillovers, volatility of global commodity prices, disruption of trade relations, financial flows, or global supply chains. Natural disasters may increase the risk of interstate conflict because of commitment problems, reduced opportunity costs of conflict, shocks to status quo divisions of resources, or demarcation of territories among countries, or because of leaders’ heightened diversionary incentives in favor of conflict. In some cases, disasters may have a pacifying effect on ongoing hostilities by creating opportunities for disaster diplomacy among conflict parties. Population displacement in disaster zones can send refugee flows and other types of migration across borders, with varying short-term and long-term socioeconomic and political effects in home and host countries. Adverse effects of natural disasters on regional and global economic activity shape patterns of international trade and financial flows among countries. To mitigate such risks from natural disasters and facilitate adjustment and recovery efforts, countries may turn to international cooperation through mechanisms for disaster relief and preparedness. Regional and global governmental and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are common means to initiate and maintain such cooperative efforts.

Women empowerment is emerging as a key challenge for all the communities of a country specially India. In a number of countries, women have to struggle for their rights and living values. To beat such issues various steps have been taken by private, public and non-governmental organizations. A Self Help Group is one of these steps, which is radically contributing in the way of women empowerment. Self Help Groups give opportunities to the poor women to manage their lives through savings along with running small-scale businesses. Numerous studies have been conducted and results show that the Self Help Group is crucial for rural finance services and is also helpful in enhancing work opportunities. The present study is based on quantitative impact analysis of SHGs of Hisar district, state Haryana, India. Data has been collected and analyzed through questionnaires and that was moreover an interview. Target for the respondents were women living in this district who had joined SHGs. Descriptive statistics of this study show the significance of the SHGs in the way of improvement of women’s socio-economic conditions in the district.

This study critically analyses the way Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) operate in Brazil and their contribution to the development of the Brazilian civil society. The notion of "power fields" and "habitus", proposed by Bourdieu (1989; 1996), provides the theoretical backdrop to our discussions. This focusses largely on the recursive connection between structure and agency which resonates with the work of Fligstein (2006). This study seeks to critically analyse the learning and social practice developed by professionals in NGOs in their daily activities. This study is based on qualitative research and the results indicated that the knowledge produced by Brazilian NGOs, through the recursive connection between the agents of the fields and the structures underpinning them, contributes to the expansion and transformation of the field in which they operate. This perspective shows that the knowledge generated by this NGOs give them a certain level of power and influence in the Brazilian civil society.

Abstract In Romania there is a legislation that regulates different aspects of the protection and administration of natural areas- from the way they are being established to the way permissible activities in and around these areas are being regulated. Nevertheless, based on studies released by different interested forums, the core issue has been identified to be the poor informing of the population concerning the importance of protecting the biodiversity and its role in ensuring a support system of life and in developing socio-economical systems. The presence of the inhabitants on the natural areas and the activities they conduct have a great impact on the natural environment, thus making their involvement in protecting the biodiversity extremely important. The general public needs to become more aware of the fact that the preservation of nature does not constitute a unique, self-defeating purpose, that requires the saccrifice of all means, and that the presence of a reservation in their community could lead to a highly beneficial sustainable development, both socially and economically as a result of increasing financial stability for the local population. Throughout this process of communication/ awareness raising/ ecological education, a key role is being played by the environmental non-governmental organizations that, through their misison, can be more visible and more efficient in achieving the purpose of making the public aware and thus creating a responsible behaviour and a direct involvement in protecting and administrating the natural areas.

The Way

Securitization theory (ST) has succeeded in putting the relation between politics and security at the forefront of research in security studies. Despite this success, little attention has been given to the way states themselves produce the boundaries of legitimate political activity, particularly in relation to the boundaries between civil society and the state and between the foreign and domestic. This article is concerned with how states see the boundary between the political and the non-political as a matter of security. It investigates this question by examining the international and national efforts to restrict the financing of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and civil society actors. It demonstrates that these entities are deemed threatening to the established boundaries of legitimate political activity and thus subject to harassment, increased regulation, and eradication. This is done by the depiction of their activities as political, rather than humanitarian/cultural/social, demonstrating that the concepts of politics operative in the ST literature are already delimited through processes of securitization and depoliticization. Continued research into the relation between politics and security must therefore consider the ways that the political itself is securitized.
