Learning by Southern Peace NGOs
研究了非洲和亚洲多个国家的南方和平建设非政府组织如何学习,发现它们主要通过互动方式学习,但受制于竞争、不信任和捐助者的政策强制,尤其在研究和记录本地知识方面能力不足。
Abstract Literature and policies on learning by NGOs focus on internal processes in Northern organisations. This article examines the learning processes of Southern NGOs by studying peacebuilding organisations in several African and Asian countries. These organisations learn mostly in an interactive way, emphasising exchange with other practitioners and beneficiaries. However, these learning strategies are limited by competition and distrust among SNGOs and by the imposition of policy by donors. SNGOs feel constrained particularly in doing research and documenting local knowledge, activities for which they lack the time and skills, but which potentially could strengthen their role in international debates and policymaking.
