IntroductionNon- presidency organizations ar organizations that are non controlled by g everywherenment and are non profit make. Their purpose is to provide a service or object in which they are formed for they offer social benefit services to clipers and communities in which they see to it they embolden a major berth in the familiarity because they determine family structures, family relation and also the education organisation that would bugger off effective man power for them and early(a)s. NGO, s has control over political power nationality and until now power over borders. (Steve. Witt. (2005)They also t in ally to the removes of the poor, considers with issues of the religion in a given(p) area and soly impact heavily on the side and values that a given community adapts to. NGO, s aids in the contri hardlyion of the gentlemanitarian affairs that take care the communities invades. NGO, s also deals with national and multilateral policy making and even lo cal actions, .NGO, s provides employment to the citizens and assist in matters of dividing international authority, help to research, assess, report and publicize details on behalf of those accountable to them. (K.Rodman, (1998). They also deal with stability and security issues. Most non- government activity doesnt depend heavily on the government for funding but the government may assist them part with funds. They thus do non involve government representative deep down their organization and they also dont involve them in their finality making process. AREAS OF INEFFECTIVENESS, UNACCOUTABILITY AND ELITIST temper OF NGO, SNon- political organizations are supposed to be effective on their objectives and also accountable to those they serve. However, this non government organization abide increasingly failed by beingness incomprehensible to those they are supposed to work for, they pitch continually been ineffective in their performance and they have adapted to elitist gen ius whereby they segregate themselves from others and only work for their own selfish interest and for the interest of those whose status they consider eventful to their affairs and has influential power that makes them be treated preferentially this attitude can be termed as a apparatus of elite capture. (Steve. Witt. (2005) The ineffectiveness, the unaccountability and the elitist nature of NGO, s is unembellished among much renowned organization and this can be seen to be true when one assesses their performance with regard to the present-day(prenominal) reflect on good governance and well-bred society. (K.Rodman, (1998).Roles of good governanceThe current tilt on good governance and civil society emphasizes on peaceableness building, democratization, quality leadership, responsibility and proper civil inceptions. NGO, s should assist in helping in peace building in countries in which they are situated, they should be involved in the resolving existing issues in the regi on for example by helping to find solutions to a countries conflicting issues when they arise, mediating disputing groups when thither are ethnic tensions caused by political instability, coming up with measures that get out reduce tribalism, nepotism and corruption, help in recovering the economy when the country is experiencing stinting depression, assisting the needy in their surrounding environs for example when natural tragedy arise such(prenominal) as flood, earthquake ,terrorist attacks among others,Stabilizing political turmoil being experienced in that particular country and m any other issues. (K.Rodman, (1998). However, the current non-government organization do not engage themselves with this issues on the contrary sort of of doing this, the NGO, s have left this in the ruin of government and civil societies. Non-governmental organizations have also in some instances contributed to peace downfall by supporting one side of the worrying groups rather than being neutral .They draw to favor that group that have influential power and assumes those who are slight powerful. This has made them to be unaccountable and untrustworthy and cannot be depended upon by two the government and the members of the societies who would have otherwise depended on them. The management allows political influences when making decisions which imposes a negative impact to all the organization stake substantiateers and employees who oppose the decision on the basis that they are not consulted and. this causes conflicts, lots of job term of enlistment over, redundancy and withdrawal and this leads to job inefficiency. (K.Rodman, (1998).They have been ineffective with regards to matters of enhancing democratization. This is because they have indulged in political relation funding complains and supporting certain politicians who have influence upon them and this has contributed heavily in the reduction of democracy as they do not play their role as pressure group to pressu rize the government to chance upon democracy.Non governmental organization have also been ineffective to help in matters of maturation of nations policy and economy other than participating in development and transformations, this organizations involve in the achievement of their own interest that is what will benefit them other than what will be beneficial to all who are accountable to them, they pursue their own goals without incorporating the objectives of government and civil societies and this leads to neglect of goals commonality hence retarding the government policies such as poverty and analphabetism eradication.LeadershipLeadership and quality management are important for any country or institution to have good governance. Non governmental organization are naughtily managed because of lack of qualified staff because the recruitment of workforce is based not on technical competence and merit, but on secernment and thus the management have no proper management skills, th e employees under such management thus work with a lot of skepticism and gruelling opposition and most of them resist changes and all the rules that the management enforces and this leads to difficulties in carrying out of proper practices, policies and procedures that are fundamental in developing strategies that ensures that organizations objectives are met. (K.Rodman, (1998).This also has led to poor selection of policies and allocation of resources. The leadership style in current non-governmental organization is that of authoritative and bureaucratic which ignores human elements due to impersonality of interpersonal relations. This style of leadership imposes rules, norms and procedures to be followed. The leaders make decisions and demands everyone to follow, they do not allow the other members of staff to be involved when making decisions and they raspingly react when the rules they enforces are not properly followed this causes slow development, work delays, inefficiency a nd frustrations to citizens, employees and any other stakeholders and this reduces the effectiveness of NGO, s as a whole. (Carrie Meyer, (1999),Corruption eradication is a key issue in good governance especially in Africa. . NGO, s are faced with issues of corruption where they demands bribery to assist in matters they were supposed to stimulate to the citizens without demanding any form of payment and this makes them unaccountable to those who really depended on their services. (sH.Englund, (2004) Theres also a lot of defalcation of funds and lack of proper fund management.This causes inadequate funding guide to shortage of resources to implement their policies and this can also eventually lead to the liquidation of the organization. When organization funds are mismanaged it causes serious implications, which makes the organization unaccountable and in high-octane, which leads them to a step back to transparency and accountability. This vice has passed on to civil societies a nd government at large.Environmental issuesNGO, s engages in activities that are harmful to the surrounding environment. This is by social unethical and unaccountable activities. For example, they may engage in activities that involves emissions of double-dyed(a) gases that pollute the environment or even have technological machinery that produce disturbing noises around the environment they are situated in. They often do not take proper measures and responsibility to eradicate this implication logical argument that since they are a non profit making organizations, members of the communities should take care of their environment and the fact that they are in needs of the organizations services they should allow them to deliver them respectfully without dealing with environmental issues. This causes negative impacts to the community and it has hampered the life of the society and animals especially where there is water and air pollution. They can be termed as negligence of the virt ue of accountability to the society.( K.Rodman, (1998).NGO, s has turned into a mechanism of elite capture. They tend to involve only the elite in grammatical construction of their policies. (H.Englund, (2004) There is lack of representation of civil society as a whole and the marginalized social movements are sidelined. Regional consultative of African non-governmental organizations, s and civil society organization lay foundation for the governance meeting place stressed on role of women in leadership. It has been observed that there is evident gender inequality within these organizations. Few non government organizations in Africa have observed this as few women are employed or hold decision making positions in management of NGO, s. the elites in NGO, s have non-homogeneous skills that they can utilize in government running but they are trapped in the NGO, s. in addition, instead of involving the locals to do various jobs they subcontract them. (Carrie Meyer, (1999),NGO, s has been ineffective because of selective area of operations. They concentrate in certain areas than the others. This makes those sidelined areas not to enjoy their operations. The NGO, s may not operate in certain areas that have poor infrastructure, lack of effective communication theory and lack of technology. This has led to unequal distribution of resources. The NGO, s have not helped in establishment of proper running civil institutions and instead they go away this role to the governmentConclusionIn order to ensures that non-governmental organizations work effectively and successfully there is need to ensure that there is interactions of workers, formal and informal groups, government itself and any other influential factors to the organization. Democratic involvement by this organization should be considered as it is equally and critically important in enhancing the effectiveness of this organization. (Carrie Meyer, (1999), They should be attached to implement their services to all interested stakeholders successfully. They should also avoid favoritism and avoid authoritative leadership and adapt to other ways of confidential information that will bring about motivation and morale of workers in the organization. Non governmental organizations should also ensure that they take responsibility and take the necessary actions ask of them when their activities imposes harm to the surrounding environment. (Steve. Witt. (2005) They should also ensure that all non-governmental organizations are effective, efficient and accountable and are not expressed as mechanism of elitist capture. Referencesl Steve. Witt.
