Save the Meadows.

Questo è interessante.

Anyone working in international development for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) over the past few years has likely had one of the following experiences:

1) Witnessing an external consultant or boss being flown in from abroad to “manage” the field office in [insert any non-Western nation here. Note that field office can just mean the capital city of any country outside the U.S. or Europe]

2) Being shocked at the lack of ethics in workplaces where the aim is “helping other people”

3) Working for or interacting with NGOs (such a broad category that it encompasses all manner of organizations) that serve no apparent purpose.

Finally, a new TV show exists to highlight some of the absurdities of the international aid sector. The slyly named The Samaritans is a comedy about the perils – and pleasures – of the “NGO world”. Created by a Kenya-based production company, it chronicles the work of Aid for Aid – an NGO that, in the words of its creator, “does nothing”.
Il resto qui.

Se avete letto "Liberty Charter: Territori Liberi", ricorderete sicuramente le ONG.

PS: Grazie a Pietro Monsurrò per la dritta.
