| Title | Enhancement of Efficiency and Effectiveness at Hungarian Human Rights Non-Governmental Organizations - A Cooperation Based Approach |
| Summary | Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are very important in the advancement of human rights in Hungary. While their significance is unquestionable, they often seem to operate with a disappointing level of inefficiency and a low rate of success. The thesis proposes the idea that human rights NGOs could be made more efficient, and, consequently, more effective, if they adopted a cooperation-based approach. For this very practical objective many interviews were conducted with experts working at NGOs who have already joined civil sphere cooperations in the past or are likely to join in the future. The paper offers an overview on the right to freedom of association in the interpretation of those systems which influence the Hungarian legislation, and describes non-governmental organizations and their impact at length. By comparing and contrasting successful international and local NGO cooperations, the Control Arms' Coalition and the Working Group Against Hate Crimes, the potential of future NGO coalitions can be assessed. In the end of the thesis practical recommendations are provided for NGOs, and the interrelatedness of efficiency and effectiveness is elaborated in details. The conclusion shall shed light on how efficiency and effectiveness of NGO functioning could be improved by a collaborative attitude. |
