The strict observance of the Act would mean that large NGOs or ngo consultancy can hardly function as it will not be possible for them to work far away from their office. Or they invest in large infrastructure to arrange for payments locally at very high costs. Or even take up the unorthodox manner of the transferring funds in the name of employees who ultimately meet the Organization’s obligations.
The issue is that the project staff whose main priority is to implement the program activities, get more and more involved in the administrative function of arranging for payments.
It is time to consider if the legislature really intended to retard the growth of large multi-dimensional and multi-locational NGOs, which are more professional and have built up a good record. In the FCRA Act itself, nowhere is it written that an NGO cannot open a different bank account. In fact, the only place where maintaining of a separate bank account is referred to is under Rules and sub-rule of the FCRA rules, which state that a separate bank account shall be maintained in respect of foreign contribution received. Based on this the department does not allow the opening of any other bank account. In the process, it has created innumerable easily avoidable problems for the NGOs without really adding much to its regulating process.
Communications are essential during emergencies.
We must be able to relay and receive information about constantly changing conditions, needs, operational challenges, and warnings. During emergency operations, information is not only extremely valuable but highly perishable. Timeliness, clarity, and effectiveness of communications are critical when lives are at stake. As a result, NGOs rely on technology to function and perform well. Within the international community, the collective technical infrastructure of hardware, software, and telecommunications is often referred to as information and communications technology or, more simply, ICT. Many NGOs perceive ICT as an important tool to optimize operations and conduct information exchanges.NGOs have been using technology since the earliest international humanitarian emergencies, have used the same types of equipment as host nations, and have often been on the forefront of technology when unique or especially challenging requirements have arisen. This continues today as NGO consultancy become more sophisticated in accessing and leveraging technology and working collaboratively with other NGOs to achieve enhanced capabilities in specific regions.
