In doing so, it argues that evidence points to a positive impact on institutionalising good governance and fiscal autonomy through widening participation in planning and decision-making, reinforcing accountability of functionaries and enhancing tax collection. Furthermore, this book demonstrates that the collaboration has aided the process of development of social capital between officials of councils and NGOs, as well as amongst the community members, encouraging future partnership governance. However, with the phasing out of the project as a propelling force, it also shows that the results fall short of being sustainable and, as such, that statuary support, unequivocal political commitment, and incentivising engagements are required to stabilise outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBridging a gap in the Development Studies literature, this book presents new findings on the collaboration of NGOs at the local level. It will be of interest to academics working in the field of South Asian Studies, Development Studies, and Asian Politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mohammad Jahangir Hossain Mojumder, Pranab Kumar Panday\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032400978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032400976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Mohammad Jahangir Hossain Mojumder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44123264286975,"sku":"9781032400976","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef466c1c-a604-4d34-8da6-d176d2b8f9a2.jpg?v=1687429885","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/government-and-ngos-in-south-mohammad-jahangir-hossain-mojumder-9781032400976","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
