Abstract

This article examines the bridging role non‐governmental organizations (NGOs) can play between a divided public administration in a conflict‐ridden country. Based on interviews with various stakeholders in Yemen, we argue that NGO might need to mediate between conflicting authorities to effectively carry out their activities. By doing so, they serve as a bridge that could help maintain relations between the two fragmented administrations and possibly facilitate the process of post‐conflict state building. While not all NGOs are capable or required to fulfill this role, we identify four enabling factors: (1) the readiness of stakeholders to engage; (2) public support for the NGO; and (3) NGOs' adequate capacity; and (4) the donor's support.

非政府组织的作用最小：在分裂的公共行政部门之间架起桥梁：也门案例

本文探讨了非政府组织（NGO）在冲突频发的国家分裂的公共行政部门之间可以发挥的桥梁作用。根据对也门各利益相关方的访谈，我们认为非政府组织可能需要在相互冲突的当局之间进行调解，以有效开展活动。通过这样做，非政府组织可以发挥桥梁作用，帮助维持两个四分五裂的行政部门之间的关系，并有可能促进冲突后的国家建设进程。虽然并非所有非政府组织都有能力或有必要发挥这一作用，但我们认为有四个有利因素：(1) 利益相关者愿意参与；(2) 公众对非政府组织的支持；(3) 非政府组织有足够的能力；(4) 捐助者的支持。

期刊介绍： Since its founding in 1949, Public Administration and Development (PAD) has been reviewing and assessing the practice of public administration at the local, regional, national and international levels where it is directed to managing development processes in low and medium income countries. It gives special attention to investigations of the management of all phases of public policy formulation and implementation which have an interest and importance beyond a particular government and state. PAD has a particular interest in the link between public administration practice and management research and provides a professional and academic forum for reporting on new experiences and experiments. PAD also publishes articles on development management research in the NGO sector. It is widely read by academics and practitioners alike, including consultants, donors and policy advisers. With its case study approach, it is also frequently used for teaching and training purposes.
