This paper explores and compares NGDO responses in regions and countries in or entering a "beyond-aid scenario". The comparison shows that, despite a diversity of contexts and histories, the quest for self-sustainability has become a common and dominant concern. Within a framework of options, examples show what is being attempted in terms of NGDOs altering their resource profile and the problems they encounter in doing so. (DSE/DÜI)

Though unevenly spread, many developing countries are experiencing a decline in aid flows. This paper explores & compares NGDO responses in regions & countries in or entering a "beyond-aid scenario." The comparison shows that, despite a diversity of contexts & histories, the quest for self-sustainability has become a common & dominant concern. Within a framework of options, examples show what is being attempted in terms of NGDOs altering their resource profile & the problems they encounter in doing so. Emerging evidence suggests that NGDOs are more likely to sustain themselves if they (1) look beyond finance to adopt an integrated, capacity-based approach to sustainability & internal organizational reform; & (2) put effort into making good their "relational deficit" with a wider array of domestic constituencies. 1 Table, 1 Figure, 14 References.
