Developmental "Double Standards" and Africa's Cultural Image Problem
As the NGO industry expands, the broad all-inclusive term "development" has become more and more vague over time. Anything that remotely suggest provision of additional resources for betterment of people's lives have now fallen under the category of "development."

Thankfully, the central goal of an NGO is still clear: the job is to ultimately make people's living standards higher.
