From Favoritism via Abundance to Austerity—NGDO-government Relations in the Netherlands

Abstract

In the relationship between the Dutch government and non-governmental development cooperation in the Netherlands, a few years stand out: 1965 (when large-scale government funding for Dutch non-governmental development organizations (NGDOs) started); 1980 (the introduction of core funding for Dutch NGDOs); 1999 (the opening up of the cofinancing system to a wider range of Dutch NGDOs); 2003 (the first step in restructuring the funding of NGDOs with the introduction of major new grant schemes); 2006–2007 (the next step in the restructuring, with the merger of the two most important schemes); 2008 (with a more polarized political debate on the future of NGDO funding in the Netherlands); and 2011-2013 with cutbacks in government subsidy and announcements of even further reductions from 2016 onwards. This list shows that more changes have been introduced in the grant systems since 2000 than in the thirty-five years before.1
