First of all, scholars (Spires, 2011a; 2011b; Henderson, 2002; Mendelson & Glenn, 2002) noted that initially donors supported the officially registered professional organizations rather than grassroots. This resulted in a negative effect on participation or involvement of different social groups and/or local communities in the activity of NGOs[4]. Weakly connected with local communities initially, formal professional NGOs lost their last incentives to engage with ordinary people. International assistance changed decisively their orientation from doing with the people towards doing for them. Moreover being dependent on western aid, LNGOs moved away from politics and shifted their focus from local towards global issues (Luong & Weinthal, 1999: 1270). “It often leads to tremendous competition between groups for funding, as NGOs spring up around issues important to donors, simply to receive money” (Mendelson, 2002: 235). Thus, “new civil society organizations that aspired to be independent developed strong dependency on donors and their ideologies and agendas” (Nezhina & Ibrayeva, 2013: 339).
