Chapter -1: Introduction:

With the future direction of administrative reform captured in the slogan ‘small government, big society’ and the development of the social welfare system guided by the principle of ‘socializing social welfare’, it has become fashionable to talk about the potentials of NGOs in delivering social welfare in both government and academic circles. Although there has been no shortage of speeches and articles setting out in somewhat grand terms the multiple functions which NGOs can perform, very few empirical studies have been carried out to see whether those high hopes can be realized in the current institutional setting and to find out what constraints are faced by NGOs in assuming a more significant role in a plural social welfare system. 

This paper attempts to address some of the constraints on the ability of social welfare NGOs to perform both service delivery and advocacy functions at present. It is mostly based on case studies of NGOs on that which provide services to disabled children and their parents, but I have also drawn on my knowledge of organizations in other fields and localities. Researchers on NGOs often make careful distinctions between organizations with different degrees of autonomy and voluntariness. The mass and semi-official organizations are often created top-down and their main task is to perform various functions on behalf of the state. The popular organizations, on the other hand, are born of private initiatives and exist primarily to respond to society’s needs or to represent its interests in a bottom-up fashion. The case studies for this paper consist mainly of popular organizations. The various constraints on these NGOs’ ability to serve the interests of their clients or members therefore highlight the current limit to popular participation in achieving better welfare for vulnerable groups.
