Deaf and social services

Miles, M. (2000). Enabling the disability NGOs? Centralisation versus competition in Pakistan and Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, centralisation of power took place very early in the development process, under a single national MR organisation which then spread its branches across the country, heavily supported by Nordic aid; yet this monopoly was also challenged, allowing a variety of grassroots responses to children and adults with MR. Comparisons of the divergent development patterns in Pakistan and Bangladesh cannot be exact, because of many unmeasurable factors. Nevertheless, some experiences common to the NGOs in both countries suggest that neither development pattern is inherently superior.
