This report presents the findings of a
rapid mapping and capacity assessment of nongovernmental
organizations (NGOs) operating in Guinea Bissau. The
assessment aimed to understand the role of NGOs in targeted
service delivery sectors and in social mobilization. The
findings of the assessment will inform proposed capacity
building support that the World Bank plans to provide to
NGOs in Guinea Bissau to strengthen their role in supporting
Citizen Engagement (CE) approaches. Currently, NGOs and
religious oriented institutions, including the Catholic
church, play a crucial role in service provision in Guinea
Bissau, including basic services such as health and
education. As such, various internal and external
stakeholders identify an outsized role for NGOs to play in
supporting accountable and responsive service delivery. In
this regard, the mapping and capacity assessment focused on
development-oriented NGOs operating at the national and/or
local levels. Nearly all of the NGOs that participated in
this study were formally registered organizations that were
development-oriented entities, which were not purely
charitable, religious- and/or advocacy-oriented entities.
The study explicitly excluded NGOs that were strictly
humanitarian and did not engage in developmental work.
Quantitative and qualitative research methods were used in
the course of the data collection, including desk and media
research, questionnaires, structured surveys, key informant
interviews, and focus groups. Prior to field research, desk
and media reviews were conducted to aggregate historical
perspectives on civil society in Guinea Bissau and to
identify gaps in analysis. Combined, these methodologies
provided a variety of ways to crosscheck the self-reported
data and perspectives of focus group participants with more
structured survey and interview data. |
