摘要
加纳是一个相对稳定的民主国家,长期以来一直受到国际捐助者的青睐。然而,世界银行最近对其分类的改变以及政府的声明导致外国援助减少,迫使民间社会组织(CSO)面对其组织的财务可持续性问题。在本研究中,我们对 Arhin 等人(2018."面对子弹?非政府组织(NGO)对加纳不断变化的援助形势的回应"。Voluntas:Voluntas: International Journal of Voluntary and Nonprofit Organizations 29 (2):Voluntas: International Journal of Voluntary and Nonfit Organizations 29 (2): 348-60),发现加纳的民间社会组织正在使用六种不同的策略来努力实现财务可持续性。基于对 42 个民间社会组织的原始调查,我们的研究结果表明,几乎所有的民间社会组织都把重点放在以社会企业的形式创收上。本文讨论了这给该部门带来的挑战。
The Social Enterprise Craze: CSO Financial Sustainability in Ghana
As a relatively stable democracy, Ghana has long been a popular country for international donors. However, recent changes in its classification by the World Bank and government proclamations have led to a reduction in foreign aid, forcing Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to confront the financial sustainability of their organizations. In this study, we test the typology proposed by Arhin et al. (2018. “Facing the Bullet? Non-Governmental Organisations’ (NGOs’) Responses to the Changing Aid Landscape in Ghana.” Voluntas: International Journal of Voluntary and Nonprofit Organizations 29 (2): 348–60) which finds that CSOs in Ghana are using six different strategies to work toward financial sustainability. Based on an original survey of 42 CSOs, our findings indicate an almost exclusive focus on income generation in the form of social enterprises. The challenges this poses to the sector are discussed.
