Austrian development aid organizations & policy are in a crisis. The necessity & challenge of the development of strategies to deal with this crisis are obvious. As professionalization has not prevented the NGOs from finding themselves in this crisis situation, the question is raised as to what professionalism has so far achieved & where an increase of professionalism is needed. The main areas of tension between state & society regarding development aid policy are the dependency of many NGOs on state financing & the state's dependency on the NGOs' implementation structures. The current practice of shortened professionalization, where only improvement of the method of working is concerned, is insufficient in the face of global problems & the present crisis in development aid policy in Austria.
