Some NGOs not serving people
Says Qazi Faruque
Qazi Faruque Ahmed, founder of Proshika, a leading non-government organsation (NGO), yesterday accused some NGOs of doing business with people instead of serving them and some others of patronising militancy.
The incumbent Proshika chairman brought up the allegations at the first national convention of a recently formed NGO networking platform, Council for National Catalyst (CoNaC), at the capital's National Museum.
Over a thousand NGO activists attended the programme.
Around 800 NGOs and 21 NGO Networks, including Association of Development Agencies in Bangladesh, Coalition of Local NGOs, Bangladesh, and Bangladesh Shishu Adikar Forum, have joined CoNaC, it claimed.
CoNaC has a central committee with Advocate Pradip Kumar Ghosh as president and Kazi Enayet Hossain as general secretary. The platform has 17 regional committees across the country.
Faruque said CoNaC would work for reinforcing the activities of small NGOs.
