Contracting with NGO’s for social services

Struyk, Raymond J.
The monograph reports on the pilot experience of Russian local governments contracting out to local NGO’s for the delivery of social services. It also states that the non profit sector has developed quickly especially in Eastern Europe. According to Struyk, a useful summary of the challenging situation today is given by Kendell, Anheier, and Potucek (2000); “Characteristic features of nonprofit sector development have included extensive evidence of intraregional diversity in terms of organizational resources and capabilities; policy turbulence, unpredictability and ambiguity in some countries, fuelled as many national and local governments have been either unwilling or unable to provide sustained political financial support; and the exertion of powerful influence by agencies from outside the region, including foundations and EU institutions.
