Background

Bangladesh is a developing country among the 3rd world countries. . From its birth as an
independent nation in 1971, different organizationÕs came forward for the development of our
motherland. And among those, Non-Government Organizations play a tremendous role for the
development of our country especially for the rural sector. NGOs first started from the late 1960s
until the mid-1970s emphasized the formation of credit unions, co-operatives, and other
community-based development projects, giving more emphasis to micro-interventions in
development. In 1971 only 4 local Ngo and 21 international organizations worked for humanity
in our country. Presently there are approximately 2000 NGOs working in Bangladesh. There are
many types of NGOs here for different work approaches. But most of them focus on directly or
indirectly poverty alleviation from the area such as microcredit, health care, education and so on.
NGOs have done a lot for the development of our rural areas and some have done many
successful efforts. The NGOs are working for the poor people in times of regular need as well as
emergencies. Whenever there is a natural disaster like flood, drought, famine, storm,
contaminated diseases, tidal waves etc. they would extend their hands and conduct relief works.
The Role of NGO in the National Development of Bangladesh like NGOs arrange collateral-free
credit for individual or collective enterprises, NGOs provide special training to women on
apiculture, silk, production, embroidery, fishnet making, poultry and livestock rearing etc.

NGOs are considered as the major sources of foreign donor investment in the field of poverty
reduction strategy in Bangladesh. There are a number of ways by which donors provide funds to
NGOs in Bangladesh. The most common is funding for specific projects. Where financing needs
are large, donor funds may be pooled and a donor-liaison function introduced to coordinate
support and reduce transaction costs for the NGO. In recent years, the recognition that
partnerships with smaller NGOs carry high transaction costs has increased. $82 million has been
channeled annually to development NGOs from concessional loan sources. These NGOs mainly
work with the support of foreign donors. Major donors are the Asian Development Bank, the US
Agency for International Development (USAID), Save the Children, and Department for
International Development (DFID, UK), UNICEF, World Bank, etc.

While research available on NGO corruption is predominantly drawn from newspaper articles of
fraud reported in national NGOs. On the other hand, different international governing bodies
including the United Nations, The World Bank, etc. have premised that third world governments
are corrupt, ineffective, and unable to deliver many essential social and economic services for
their citizens. Report represents 77% of all fraud investigations never reach the public domain,
and 54% are not even communicated internally. Many NGO high officials avoid income tax by
showing the basic salary less and other facilities high. A large number of NGOs in Bangladesh
were connected with mid-level dishonesty and lack of regulatory control. After publishing
reports about the Misuse of fund by the Ngo officers Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina called the
liberation welfare minister On Sheikh MuzibarÕs birthday for a dinner and asked him for
making a solution regarding the issue that Foreign INGO agencies are wasting a lot of money for
their own rather than spending on humanities. The NGO sector in Bangladesh is as necessary as
within political parties and business groups. Need to improve their activities and be fully free
from corruption.

Kinds of NGO in Bangladesh


There are predominantly two kinds of NGOs, those are-Operational NGOs and Promotion NGOs.

Operational NGOs: The main role of an operational NGO is to plan and execute advancement
related undertakings. Operational NGOs can be network based, public or worldwide. Operational
NGOs need to use assets, regarding monetary gifts, materials or volunteer work, to support their
undertakings and projects. Understudies in their get-away or throughout a break in their schooling
give work to projects. Operational NGOs need to have a productive central command administration,
notwithstanding the operational staff in the field. There is additionally some sub classification under
the Operational NGOs:

the cognizance of the metropolitan poor, assisting them with understanding their privileges in getting

incorporate state-level associations, affiliations and gatherings. Some state NGOs likewise work
under the direction of Public and Worldwide NGOs.

of the executives, these associations regularly attempt to bring issues to light, acknowledgment and
information by campaigning, press work and various types of occasions. It incorporates NGOs with
exercises which work on the requirements of the impeded social orders. This is likewise classified by
some sub point, those are:

Service arranged NGOs: It incorporates exercises, for example, the arrangement of wellbeing, family
arranging or training administrations in which the program is planned by the NGO and individuals
are required to take an interest in its execution and getting the administration.

more clear comprehension of the social, political and monetary elements influencing their lives and
to fortify their familiarity with their own likely capacity to control their lives.

Types By direction:
Charitable direction regularly includes a top-down exertion with little cooperation or contribution by
recipients. It incorporates NGOs with exercises coordinated toward addressing the necessities of the
impeded social orders.
Service direction incorporates NGOs with exercises, for example, the arrangement of wellbeing,
family arranging or training administrations in which the program is planned by the NGO and
individuals are required to partake in its usage and in getting the administration.

Participatory direction is described without anyone else helping projects where neighborhood
individuals are included especially in the execution of a venture by contributing money, devices,
land, materials, work and so forth In the old style network improvement project, cooperation starts
with the need definition and proceeds into the arranging and execution stages.

Empowering direction intends to assist destitute individuals with building up a more clear
comprehension of the social, political and financial variables influencing their lives, and to reinforce
their consciousness of their own expected capacity to control their lives. There is greatest inclusion
of the recipients with NGOs going about as facilitators.

Types By level of activity has Community-based associations (CBOs) emerge out of individuals'
own drives. They can be liable for raising the cognizance of the metropolitan poor, assisting them
with understanding their privileges in getting to required administrations, and offering such types of
assistance. City-wide associations incorporated associations, for example, offices of trade and

branches and help nearby NGOs. International NGOs range from mainstream organizations, for
example, Save the Kids, SOS Kids' Towns, OXFAM, Passage Establishment, Worldwide walk
against youngster work, and Rockefeller Establishment to strictly propelled gatherings. They can be
liable for subsidizing nearby NGOs, organizations and projects and actualizing projects.

Casualty and Ladies Get Backing through NGO


A few NGOs have been working with Casualty Backing Center (VSC), so ladies and kids can get
heartfelt administrations ideal from VSC. This plan makes for long haul restoration for the vagrants,
destitute, relinquished, crippled, down and out and secluded people with the assistance of NGOs.
Essentially, dire requirements and administrations like clinical guide, injury recuperation advising,
passionate help and so forth are given by VSC. Through the criminal equity framework abused ladies
and youngsters got a stage to reestablish their privileges. Police just as NGO common exertion
guarantees security and reinforces social reintegration of the lost ladies and youngsters. It likewise
has been a contributing component by advancing social associations and portability for country
ladies.

Instructive Advancement with the assistance of NGO: Bangladesh has gained a particularly decent
ground in expanding fair-minded admittance to instruction, diminishing dropouts, improving
finishing of the cycle, and actualizing various quality upgrade measures in essential schooling. It has
just accomplished sexual orientation equality in essential and auxiliary school enrolment. As far as
essential instruction in Bangladesh NGO are likewise assuming a significant part to advance
fundamental formal and non-formal training. The bigger public level NGOs in instruction, for
example, BRAC, PROSHIKA, Dhaka Ahsania Mission, FIVDB, CMES, UCEP, and Nijarshikki have their
own essential training programs. They are giving essential instruction to unprivileged kids in
provincial territories. Like, Brac has loads of schools in numerous regions in Bangladesh. The bigger
and more settled public NGOs uphold the more modest NGOs to run essential training programs.
The bigger public NGOs offer Instructive Help Administrations, for example, restricted assets,
learning material and preparing the more modest NGOs to execute the model of the parent NGO.
While this helps construct a limit of the more modest NGOs.

Enrollment and Advancement are bad by NGOs


Because of absence of straightforwardness and imperious demeanor of the NGOs bosses where the
circumstance has been made that defilement got self-evident. Some NGO exercises are expanded to
the contributors to bring cash for tending to issues that are really fake. Representatives just as experts
are enlisted by the uneven decision of the CEO. Thus, enrollment and advancement are found to
happen based on relativism and individual relationship with the individual who holds the most senior
position like CEO. Choice cycle regularly happens through needs straightforwardness and the
determination happens to enroll a preselected up-and-comer by choice board. Additionally,
enrollment is regularly affected by proposals from the contributor, lawmakers, government
authorities, or other persuasive people. Now and again numerous workers are utilized without
keeping up the lawful enlistment technique. By and large resigned government authorities are
utilized, who purportedly utilize their associations for unjustifiable preferred position. New position
is regularly made for delegating individuals based on close to home relationships or proposals. It
diminishes the open door for likely individuals to go into the association.

NGO's grouping in Bangladesh:


In the premise of specific factors, for example, size, class, life length, area, status of personals and
attributes of the recipients, NGOs are isolated into some specific kinds. Here is given a concise

wellbeing administration and the vast majority of the NGOs are associated with persuasive exercises
and appropriation of contraceptives at the network levels. A few projects taken for oppressed
youngsters incorporate demonstrating medical care administrations, restoration of vagrant kids, and
foundation of kid rights and so on

Climate: NGOs attempt various projects to battle deforestation and have likewise shown outstanding
achievement in afforestation programs, improving disinfection offices and guaranteeing supply of
safe drinking water through conveyance of water-fixed restrooms and cylinder wells among the

and legitimate rights and furthermore by giving fundamental lawful help

Help & Rehabilitation: Formal long time, various NGOs have been assuming a critical part in
conveying alleviation among the upset individuals alongside the government. These are the
significant projects taken by various NGOs in Bangladesh. Other than these, there are various kinds
of capacities to be taken.

Strength of NGOs
NGOs appreciate some near preferences over the public area which show their ability to arrive at the
helpless more adequately than the government. Here is given a short portrayal of the equivalent.
Capacity to arrive at poor people and the distant territories: NGOs center on the least fortunate
fragment of the general public where government programs are either restricted, don't exist or are
ineffectual.

Capacity to advance nearby cooperation: The prime motivation behind the NGOs is to energize and
create neighborhood possibilities and to empower the impeded gatherings to share the advantages of
improvement.

Capacity to work with different organizations: Numerous NGOs are prepared to help governments,
neighborhood govt. divisions and nearby deliberate organizations.

Capacity of one of a kind comprehension of neighborhood establishments and socio-social climate:


NGOs will in general have exact information and comprehension of nearby requirements and
abilities to embrace projects just as they discover materials.

Capacity to act rapidly: Speed of activity and at least regulatory knot is probably the best resource of
advancement NGOs, with the goal that they can make choices quickly.

Capacity to work with adaptability: Because of their little size the NGOs will in general be more
adaptable than government projects or neighborhood govt. programs.
Capacity to face challenges and trials: NGOs typically attempt pilot projects to analyze or go about
as an impetus and to achieve their destinations they face challenges considerably more promptly than
legislative organizations.

Capacity to improve and adjust: Being more adaptable than government offices, NGOs can move
advancements grew somewhere else and adjust them to conditions just as work out creative reactions
to the neighborhood needs.

Capacity to work on low costs: The responsibility of the NGOs to utilize minimal effort advances
and smoothed out administrations empower them to work proficiently on low financial plans.

Capacity to encourage nearby asset assembly and guarantee neighborhood advancement: The NGOs
have exhibited their capacity to encourage asset preparation by advancing neighborhood investment.
Defilement of NGOs:
Defilement implies carrying out wrongdoing and naughtiness to the nation. It makes extraordinary
mischief for the kinsmen. None getaway from the damage of debasement. It is a social ailment. It
spreads its eager grasps everywhere on the nation; every single government area of the nation is
influenced by defilement. Government authorities, assistants, secretaries and even conventional
peons, security officials and others are occupied with defilement. They accept hush money from
average citizens for giving any help. Our nation, Bangladesh, has topped the rundown of degenerate
nations multiple times. There is none to speak loudly against the jogging debasement. Indeed, even
the associations that gather information about debasement are themselves defiled in a mysterious
way. Be that as it may, there are numerous explanations for this debasement. The avarice for
influence, pelf, abundance and cash is the main driver of defilement. Eagerness, deceptive nature,
nepotism and preference are additionally answerable for debasement. Those running the NGOs
once in a while have dynamic conversations with the recipients. Their consideration is offered more
to instructions the contributor organizations. The need for centralization has convinced
contributors to keep up relationships with a couple of significant NGOs. These NGOs at that point
rethink a piece of the normal work to be done to more modest NGOs who have almost no control in
the dynamic. The practice of attempting to fulfill contributors regularly winds up for certain NGOs
superfluously expanding their exercises and looking to address issues which are really "fake. “The
NGO Issues Department, due to its powerless institutional structure, can't cautiously screen the
exercises of the NGOs. There is some of the time absence of coordination among benefactor offices,
and this prompts duplication in financing made accessible for a specific reason. In most NGOs, the
individuals from the overseeing body incorporate family members of the administering body chief
director. Many NGOs need standards of review trustworthiness and their monetary reports are
regularly overstated. In most cases the workers of the NGOs are designated according to the
decision of the top of the NGO or on the proposal of powerful individuals (who are valuable for the
NGO), and not based on legitimacy or capacity. It is likewise noted in such manner that resigned
authorities of the public authority are especially named so they can utilize their old contacts to
impact the granting of tasks to a NGO. The representatives of the NGOs are not really paid pay rates
as per the proposition of the endorsed undertaking, or as per what has been publicized with respect
to the venture.
PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION
1. NGOs appear to be incapable of predicting what they will do even in one or two months. Most
of their activities look like one-time shots. So it can be said that not having proper planning
methods is one of the major problems of NGOs in Bangladesh as well as all over the world.

2. Having poor communication with the media could be another problem for NGOs. In general,
if nobody mentions NGOÕs events or projects in the media, one can say that there was no event
or any work done at all. Ideally, cooperation with mass media should be a part of an NGO's long-
term strategy. BRAC and Grameen have faced the same thing many times.

3. Lack of commitment with employees could be another major problem that NGO face
regularly. Not providing the promised salary to employees is an example of that.

4. Many NGOs do not provide enough Feedback and Social Support which gradually Suppresses
Enthusiasm in the employees and as a result, they lose motivation.

5. Unwilling to cooperate with others is another major issue. Our NGOs still perceive themselves
as small principalities. A striking example of this failure is public councils where conflicts
between the activists happen all the time in Bangladesh.

6. NGOs are preoccupied with issues relating to governance or ownership but no regulation has
been outlined. Also, most NGOs are segregated and have not built any robust platform with a
specific vision and mission.

7. Lack of ethics is increasing in NGOs. NGOs mean to be ethically right but when they do fraud
and things like tax validation that seems a big problem for the future of NGOs.

8. The number of corruption is increasing within NGO day by day in Bangladesh. Most NGOs
always have problems with the budget sector of certain projects, but mainly it happens most with
Government projects.

9. Lack of Professional Experience of Working in a Particular Area is a basic problem too. A


Ngo cannot conduct their activities properly if they do not have the professionalism and that
mainly depends on an organized employee
10. The shortage of efficient employees and high employee attrition is the kind issue that should
be taken care of more precisely by the NGO as an NGO has to depend on its employees for any
moment.
Justification (why PESTEL)
This case goes with the PESTEL analysis because this case has much-related information about
the economic contribution of NGOs in Bangladesh as an example in one part thereÕs a whole
paragraph of the economic development by The NGO which indicates it as a PESTEL analysis.
This case has the description of NGOsÕ political stabilization and few problem identifications
which indicates directly the political part of PESTEL. Technological advancement of certain
NGOs are given. NGOÕs activities towards environmental activities are also provided in the
case indirectly. Many legal activities and issues of NGOÓs are told in the case which directly
shows that the Case needs to be solved in PESTEL analysis. Example: The tax validation by
NGO staff. Besides that, we use PESTEL analysis because to Better understand the NGOÕs
environment or analyze an existing business environment of an NGO in the hopes of finding new
opportunities and identifying potential threats.
PESTEL ANALYSIS
Political:

1. NGO’s in Bangladesh feel the heat whenever a new government party is in power. The
government can change, adjust, or continue pre-existing with taxation laws. 
2. The law’s impact on whether NGOs can expect to have tax deductions for everyone.
They may decide to reduce or even retract federal funding, which plays a huge role in the
survivability of many charities. 
3. If the funding is reduced, an NGO  must adjust planning and budgets as needed.
4. While most NGOs are typically exempt from engaging in political activities, it depends
on the type of organization they are. 
5. NGOs are largely funded through donations. Much of these come through political
routes. Any change in the political landscape can result in a slowdown of such funding.

Economical: 

1. NGOs work hard to improve the livelihoods of individuals, and by doing so contribute to
economic welfare. They also employ a large number of individuals and thus help to
increase employment. By creating greater employment opportunities, these businesses
help the economy to sustain itself.
2. NGO’s economically provide many facilities. Example:Micro-credit is part of the BRAC
Economic Development Initiative. It offers free collateral credit through its Village
Organizations using a solidarity credit approach and compulsory saving schemes. Village
organizations offer loans to vulnerable groups reaching almost 4 million borrowers.
3.  The government created Rural Activities Assistance Foundation or PKSF, provided
1,04,089 core Microcredit Scheme loans to several eligible NGOs. Various NGOs have
been provided microloans by 1,04,089 crore taka. There are 116,05 lakh people enjoying
those benefits. Microfinance assumes that rural poor people know how to make money in
their background and simply need credit for business at fair interest rates.
4. During times of economic downturns, jobs are scarce, earnings are low, and livelihoods
face numerous risks. In such situations, people are less likely to be worried about social
causes and more concerned about self-welfare. As a result, NGOs in Bangladesh, which
are dependent upon donations, are likely to suffer.
5. NGOAB had released tk 57,739,36 million of external funds in relation to various NGO
projects for development. In addition, government support is also given to NGOs to
undertake development projects. Over 1,000 NGOs have found violence and breach of
different terms of foreign funds. It is a great economical fact

Social:

1.  NGOs are working to support help the poor. The NGOs are working with target groups
to provide programs. The NGOs serve as international donor guides for granting to non-
governmental organizations and also fund local non-governmental organizations to
provide humanitarian aid.
2. A significant job-generating sector is also the NGO sector. The number of people
working in the sector is not known, but BRAC for instance, the second-largest after-
government employer. BRAC has more than 100,000 employees; nearly 70%  Who are
women, with over 126 million people being reached.
3. Many NGO’s  Non-Formal Primary Education (ex: Brac)  programmed provides a five-
year primary education course in four years to poor, rural, disadvantaged children and
drop-outs that cannot access formal schooling.
4. The NGOs of Bangladesh have consciously targeted the fallen behind poor women folks
as their beneficiaries. 
5. Many ethical activites were done by the NGOs in Bangladesh like- “Ghost” employees,
participants or beneficiaries that inflated the cost of project Activities, Kickback
arrangements in the procurement of goods or services, or in the hiring of project staff.

Technological: 

1. The rapidly evolving technological landscape presents multiple opportunities for NGO’s
in Bangladesh. As the cost of tech and software comes down, these organizations can
induct and adopt these innovations.
2. Implementation of new technology would allow Bangladeshi NGO’s to enhance
efficiency, improve task management, streamline documentation, and achieve constant
communication.
3. By leveraging tech solutions such as digital marketing and social media platforms, NGOs
can spread the word about their work and ideas. This will allow them to reach a greater
number of people than through traditional channel Bangladesh. This, in turn, will help to
bring in greater assistance for their operations, both financial and otherwise.
4. Grameen Family has several sister concerns engaged in commercial activities; solar
energy and the new technologies whose dissimilar nation in rural Bangladesh was made
possible by the network. It is claimed that more than 6,000 rural Page | 9 women now
own mobile phones, which enables them to earn substantial income (US $ 75 to $500 per
month) by providing telecommunication services in rural areas. It is the best example of
the technological advancement of NGO. 
5. Bangladeshi NGO’s are now moving to data science. These organizations usually have
large amounts of data at their disposal. By applying data analytics, they can glean useful
insights into critical social and market-based problems from this data.

Legal: 

1. Many Bangladeshi NGOs are susceptible to many legal risk and the introduction of
technology is partly to blame. If an employee shares internal marketing materials or
presentations, they could be liable for copyright or trademark infringement.
2. Bangladeshi NGO’s employees need to be mindful of what they say on social media.
Many NGOs sometimes do not follow the legalization of the NGO rules. 
3. Many NGOs need to provide a positive work environment for their employees. We have
certain laws for this, such as the Healthy workplace which makes it a crime to “unlawful
employment practice”. In this case, NGOs must ensure their employees aren’t working in
a hostile or abusive work environment.
4. Bangladeshi NGOs many are related directly to politics, ex: BRAC. most NGOs should
not participate in politics. It is prohibited by law. All members of the NGO must be aware
of this and avoid political campaigns and activities in the name of the charity.
5. Existing legislation having an impact on any relevant factors (economic, social,
technological, environmental, or other factors relevant to the issue), or affecting
population groups relevant to the issue, or impacting the work of the NGO’s or its
partnerships. 

Environmental: 

1. Many Bangladeshi NGOs have a huge contribution to the environmental side of our
country. Many NGOs now focus on helping the environment. These charities care about
improving the condition of the planet for people and wildlife. 
2. This includes raising money for endangered species, to protect our forests and clean
water supplies, and maintain safe breathable air. As some political powers in Bangladesh
aren’t in favor of climate change or plans, it may be up to charities and nonprofits to help.
3. The world’s largest NGO Brac is directly related to the climate project of Bangladesh. 
4. The NGOs are still promoting many kinds of different environmental programs like a
giveaway of free plants, plantation at the roadside, and many more.
5. The scope of the environmental activities needs to be increased and for that more NGOs
need to come ahead in order to do it.
Recommendation and Implementation 1

Many NGOs face the problem of not having enough funding on any specific or certain
project.

What is the problem?

NGOs in Bangladesh urge to help more individuals and communities depending on their needs.
To do so, NGOs need to constantly acquire funds. In some cases, NGOs become complacent and
simply wait for donations or previous supporters to contact them. This practice will in no way
contribute to the successes of an NGO. Not having enough funds not only poses difficulties in
accomplishing projects, but it also puts NGOs in jeopardy given that there are also many
operational costs.

What is the solution?

Bangladeshi NGOs need to have numerous partners who fund for its projects, that shouldn’t be
an excuse to grow complacent in searching for new opportunities. NGO’s can always research
for the latest grants and offerings, funding opportunities and even small grants for. This practice
will in no way contribute to the successes of an NGO and it never face the problem of facing

Why is it justified?

While searching for additional funders would benefit an NGO in the long run, it certainly won’t
be enough. The end goal should always be acquiring funds, and not simply getting hold of grant-
funding agencies. That’s why this solution is for it.

How to implement this?

The way of receiving various grants is simple. To avoid partner organizations having second
thoughts, create well-crafted proposals. Invest in necessary training if needed, as this can bring
many good opportunities. Maintaining a good relationship with partners will likewise be helpful
in growing as an organization.

Where to implement?

This needs to be implemented in the NGO's financial sector. The corporate sector can be
included too as it is directly related to the management of the corporate sector in order to deal for
the grants with the sponsors or partners.

When to implement?

The initiative should be taken as soon as possible, actually, it should be taken regularly on a
daily basis for the NGO as they can have the lack of funding at any time.

Who will implement it?

The finance department and the management department will implement it.
 What is the expectation of the management?

Of course, the expectation would be from them to work accordingly to the NGO cause if the
NGOs face problems with money the employee would face different problems. So, the
expectation from the management would be to cope up with the situation.
Recommendation and implementation 2:
Not having proper infrastructure and maintenance.

Problem: In many Bangladesh, the lack of infrastructure is quite common and NGOs in
Bangladesh believe that people deserve a better standard of living. Thus, many NGOs have
decided to address this issue by building communities beneficial to a lot of individuals. Initially,
results are evident and people live a better life. But it should be kept in mind that not all
communities have the capacity to maintain the same lifestyle they were expected to have.
Without proper maintenance, the benefits to their living standards may only be temporary.
Additionally, having a number of projects which do not have lasting results will also affect your
NGOs capacity to gain funds. Grant-funding agencies will rather give to those who can prove
their capacity to implement and maintain on a long-term basis.

Solution: Given the number of communities in developing countries and the limited funding
sources for non-profit organizations, it’s quite tempting to move on to the next project to provide
aid for other communities who are equally in desperate need of help as well. Thus, it would be
best to make sure there are enough resources and manpower to both maintain an existing project
and begin a new one. It will be better to successfully accomplish just a few projects with lasting
impact rather than accomplishing a lot but with temporary results. In the end, a slow but sure
process is still more effective as compared to handing more than an NGO’s capacity.

Why it is justified?

NGOs are organizations that people look up to and may seem to have it all, but just like others,
also struggle in more ways imaginable. Like many others, NGOs are not perfect and also go
through a trial and error stage. Hence, when things don’t go as planned, it’s important to always
be prepared and come up with alternatives. That’s why properly finishing a few projects would
be the best solution and it is justified. 

How to implement it? 

This can be done in many ways but preferred for an organization like NGOs would be to use
more man force to the certain projects that they think can be done easily. They should emphasize
and use their time and money on those tasks properly where they know that they can gain
prosperity.

Who will implement: 

The board of directors, executive director along administrative manager will implement it. 

When? 

It needs to be implemented within 4-6 months.

Where? 
At certain projects sites or at the project spot this needs to be implemented. 

What is the expectation from the management: For implementing this solution the NGO’s
management needs to work in full phase for a certain project as we mentioned before that NGO
needs to focus on a certain project, not all. So the management needs to work and support the
organization.
