Non-Government Welfare Organisations diversity
Abstract
It has often been said that social work is an attempt to apply private solutions to public ills. Is this what NGWOs are about? Traditional argument is that NGWOs are innovative and flexible. The potential for innovation however can be found in both government and NGWOS, and the location of innovative action is often fortuitous. While many NGWOs rely on government for funding, government relies on NGWOs for service provision.
