ABSTRACT
Non Governmental Organisations and Non Profit Organisations play a determinant role in our Mauritian Society. NGOs are surviving but with lots of problems such as financial, Management and also staffing issues. The Finance and Audit under the Ministry of Social Security, National Solidarity and Senior Citizen Welfare & Reform Institutions created an NGO Trust Fund in the years 1999 to contribute to the development of NGOs through institutional support and assistance. Moreover the Government of Mauritius made it compulsory for every Company to have at least 2% of their revenue toward the development of the community at large, this is known as the Social Corporate Responsibility (CSR). Our main aim in doing this assignment is to find sustainable solutions to the main problems NGOs are currently facing.
Be it in Mauritius or internationally they all have the same main difficulty that is of funding. ‘Because of lack of funds, about half of the full-time staff are unpaid, and many lack appropriate insurance’ (China Daily April 24, 2006). This shows that funding of NGOs is a worldwide phenomenon and even superpowers like China have problem in finding the appropriate funds for their NGOs. Why do NGOs lack funds? Are Governments allocating enough budget to NGOs? Is CSR really contributing for the betterment of the Mauritian NGOs? Who can be sponsoring these NGOs? Are NGOs correctly managing the budget given to them and do they have the right person at the right place? Why are there not enough volunteers to work for NGOs? These are the questions that still do not have concrete answers for the meanwhile.
To be able to find appropriate solutions to the problems encountered by NGOs, we are going to carry out questionnaire surveys
