<incom> NGO accountability debate at BBC World Service

[Geert Lovink]

Coming up in World Business Review: Non-Governmental organisations -- 
or NGOs -- do they exercise too much power with too little 
responsibility?

Now some NGOs -- particularly those which claim to be raising people 
out of poverty -- are being asked to prove how much they contribute 
towards this aim. They're also being criticised for attacking 
business.... for failing to see how enterprise can improve the lives of 
the poor.

Sally Hardcastle will be discussing the influence of NGOs with Adam 
Lerrick, an economist at the American Enterprise Institute, John Hilary 
from the charity War on Want and Kurt Hoffman director of the Shell 
Foundation.
