Indhold: Course Objectives: To improve understanding of NGOs in African countries and the various contexts in which they operate (humanitarian situations, development projects, advocacy work).

For example, the role of NGOs in Tanzania's Poverty Reduction Strategy; the work of Danish NGOs in Ethiopia; and the role of international advocacy in humanitarian work in Sudan. To understand and apply relevant concepts and theories drawn from several research fields (development studies, social policy, anthropology, sociology, political theory) to NGO questions and problems. To relate current research on NGOs to an individual student's own experience wherever possible. Key course outcomes: Gain an analytical understanding of the NGO literature on Africa. Gain a working understanding of the literature concerned with civil society, ethnographies of aid, and participation.
