To organize and implement social development projects through interorganizational collaboration is common, but lack empirical studies from a psychological perspective. The study´s aim was to make a collaboration analysis on the implementing actors within a social development project, to understand how the collaboration was functioning. The study took place within a project for marginalized groups in Tanzania, arranged by a Swedish NGO and implemented by interorganizational collaboration. Eight participants were interviewed on six areas: Environment, Membership characteristics, Process and Structure, Communication, Purpose, and Resources. The findings highlight the complexity of interorganizational collaboration. The studied collaborative network is overall working in the same direction, but has both functional and dysfunctional areas where the dysfunctional need to be improved for the collaboration to work well. The study indicates that interorganizational collaboration brings benefits for social development projects, and the six areas studied seem to cover essential areas of interorganizational collaboration.

Teorinė mokslinės literatūros šaltinių analizė parodė, kad socialinis dalyvavimas traktuojamas kaip daugialypis konstruktas apimantis skirtingomis formomis grįstą, aktyvų asmens dalyvavimą visuomenės gyvenime. Egzistuoja NVO apibrėžties problema, tačiau dažniausiai NVO apibūdinama kaip, bet kuri pelno nesiekianti organizacija, telkianti ir vienijanti žmones bendrų tikslų siekimui. Mokslinėje literatūroje akcentuojamas pozityvus NVO vaidmuo skatinant neįgaliųjų socialinį dalyvavimą, sprendžiant įvairias jų socialines problemas. Remiantis teorine analize, gyvenamoji teorija yra asmens paaiškinimas apie ugdomąjį poveikį savo paties mokymuisi, mokymuisi iš kitų, ir mokymuisi iš socialinių aplinkų. Socialinė pedagogika ir gyvenamoji teorija gali būti sietinos pedagoginės kilmės, mokymosi visą gyvenimą trukmės, naratyvinių socialinės pedagogikos žinių plėtotės ir refleksijų aspektais. Kokybiniu, grupinės diskusijos, metodu buvo atliktas tyrimas, kurio tikslas – atskleisti subjektyvias neįgaliųjų dalyvavimo NVO veiklose patirtis. Empirinio tyrimo duomenys apibendrinti kokybinės turinio analizės metodu. / Theoretical analysis of scientific literature sources showed that social participation is construed as multiple construct covering different-form-based active participation of a person in social life. There exists a problem of the definition of NGO (non-governmental organization); however, NGO is most frequently defined as any non-profit organization uniting people in pursuit of common goals. Scientific literature focuses on the positive role of NGOs in encouragement of social participation of the disabled and in solving various social problems of this group of people. Based on the theoretical analysis, living theory is person’s explanation about the educational impact on the self-education, learning from others and learning from social environments. Social pedagogy and living theory may be of related educational origin, of life-long learning duration, development of knowledge of narrative social pedagogy and aspects of reflections.

The theoretical part describes every possibility of sponsorship of nongovernmental organizations with stress to the possibilities, which contribute to their self-sufficiency, further a sponsorship of churches from their beginning to the present times and its component is the detailed analysis of single financial sources of churches, too. There are mentioned examples of variety forms of the sponsorship of churches in some other countries for possibility of an international comparison. The final chapter of the theoretical part deals with the legal status of churches in the Czech Republic. In the practical part is The Czechoslovak Hussite Church introduced in its historical development from its beginning to the present, its contemporary organizational structure and there is also briefly described financial security of this church during its existence and there are analyzed its incomes belonging under the concept "self-sufficiency". At the end of the thesis there is description and the analysis of sources, which are used by the parish community of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church in Hradec Králové with proposals for its further possible acquisition of its full self-sufficiency.

The purpose of the study was to explore the definitions, benefits, and challenges of collaborations as used by nongovernmental organizations in their pursuit of public policy advocacy, and more specifically the role of NGOs as advocates in the public policy process. A qualitative design using a case study approach was used to examine the collaborative strategies and techniques used by the 12 statewide education NGO members of the Virginia Education Coalition in pursuit of their advocacy goals in public policy. The direction of this study was guided by the following questions: (1) What is collaboration, and when, how, and why it is used by nongovernment organizations to pursue advocacy goals? (2) What advocacy roles do nongovernment organizations play in public policy? (3) What collaborative strategies are used by nongovernment organizations to pursue advocacy goals? This study incorporates observations, in-depth interviews and a review of written documents. An interview guide consisting of 23 questions with probes and follow-ups was used as the primary data collection instrument. Each NGO was a case study in this multicase design. The study reveals that collaborations seem to exist in large part because of the personal relationships of NGO representatives and that advocacy positions and goals are pursued when commonality or consensus is achieved among collaborators. The subordination of individual interests to the interests of the Coalition is addressed in the study. The study found that NGOs enter into collaborations not only when it is mutually beneficial, but also in support of a greater cause. The need of NGOs in the Coalition to speak with a single voice far outweighs their desire to push their individual policy advocacy goals. This study contributes to the nonprofit sector in the literature and specifically addresses nonprofit collaboration and how collaborative strategies and techniques are used by NGOs to influence public policy. The findings of this study are useful for (1) NGO leaders to understand how to cultivate collaboration among leaders in other organizations, (2) the VEC to better understand their own member organizations, (3) coalitions in general to gain insights into the collaborative process.

國際非政府組織憑藉著組織的專業與知識、資訊的提供、組織架構的彈性以及多元的網絡，在國際社會中佔有重要的角色。但同時也面臨一些挑戰，例如缺乏合法性、代表性與責信。其中責信問題涵蓋最廣，也最為重要。 責信是國際非政府組織向利害關係者解釋其行為，利害關係者包含政府、捐款者、受益者、組織會員、組織員工、企業以及其他組織，當然更應涵括一般群眾，因為國際非政府組織具有草根性的性質。 國際非政府組織都必須解釋行為，且把解釋的行為的措施發展為一套機制，融入組織的架構之中，以利組織長期貫徹責信；利於利害關係者追蹤與檢視責信。這些措施集結成五種責信機制：資訊公開 、成效評估、擴大參與、自我規範以及社會審核。

The goal of the thesis is to provide an economic analysis of Klubíčko Beroun, o.p.s. To be successful, a nongovernmental organizations have to plan with a good strategy and analyze both outer and inner environments. The NGOs receive finances mostly from donors and have to be responsible for using them efficiently. Therefore, NGOs should not undervalue the economic aspect of their activities and should pay attention to the financial indicators. In my work, I focus on the analysis of the strategy and on the financial analysis. The thesis consists of two parts: the theoretical-methodological part, and the analytical part. In the first part, the basic theoretical apparatus is introduced, and it is consequently used in the second part. The results of the analysis of the strategy and the financial analysis serve as a basis for the SWOT analysis and for the formulation of the strategy for Klubíčko Beroun, o.p.s.

本文探討近數十年來非政府組織「為何」（why）在國際社會積極參與國際組織的各項議題，其興起的因素與相關的基礎理論。然而，由於世界衛生組織是一個以主權國家為會員組成的政府間組織，台灣至今還未能成為它的會員國；非政府組織「如何」（how）參與此一國際組織，本文從三個面向來進行分析，第一，非政府組織參與WHO的角色定位；第二，非政府組織對於國際政策諸如醫療、人道救援等的參與策略；第三，討論非政府組織在國際參與過程中與政府的關係；此外，並探討台灣非政府組織國際參與的機會與可能的挑戰。 就理論意義而言，學者將非政府組織與全球化的發展趨勢聯繫起來，關注於非政府組織如何在國際參與各項全球議題（Held & Mcgrew, 2002；Peck, 1998；Scholte, 2000）。就現有的非政府組織研究來看，學界少有將全球議題和國家、非政府組織相連結者（Weiss, 1999；Brown. et.al., 2000；CIVICUS, 1998；MS, 2000），此一研究缺口主要與它在國際政策層面的重要性未獲得密切注意有關。目前有若干學術著作把國家與非國家行動者合併在一起探討，Weiss & Gordenker (1996)在「非政府組織、聯合國及全球治理」（NGOs, The UN, & Global Governance）一書中，從UN與NGO的連結試圖解釋全球治理的問題；Fisher（1998）的「非政府組織與第三世界的政治發展」（NGOs and the Political Development of the Third World）一書探討的NGO與第三世界國家政治發展的關係。本文主要為了突顯NGO的參與對國家主導全球議題等鉅觀社會變遷的影響之外，並以中介角色來理解它與政府和政府間組織如聯合國、世界衛生組織的關連。 在資料蒐集與分析方面，台灣非政府組織在國際上從事醫療及人道救援有其長遠的歷史，然關於這方面的學術研究、討論，卻是近幾年才開始興起。本文採用質性研究的文獻檢閱、深度訪談和參與觀察等研究方法。對此一議題的思考、研究，透過搜集、閱讀以世界衛生組織為研究主題或相關的國內外期刊文章，釐清目前世界衛生組織研究領域的內容，以進一步確定計畫研究範圍、研究主軸與訪談對象。針對非政府組織部分的訪談對象，作者選擇了：台灣國際醫學聯盟等共18個民間團體以及2個政府機構做為研究訪談對象。 研究發現茲分為理論層面和實務層面兩方面對照說明： （一）關於非政府組織在國際參與的角色定位，指涉非政府組織在國際社會所扮演的是一種中介角色；還是第二軌道外交功能、或對政府間國際關係的輔助作用。究實而論，台灣非政府組織參與世界衛生組織之行動，其理論意涵意味著上述三種的角色功能，但本文研究發現政府偏好以動員方式鼓勵非政府組織去參與，而此種「動員式外交」活動究竟能夠收到多大的效果，不無爭議，容易造成台灣NGO在國際發展角色的曖昧不明，引發非政府組織角色定位的疑問。 （二）非政府組織在國際組織系統中並不具有政府的合法性，亦不具有治理上的權威，故而它對於國際事務的影響力，所憑藉的僅為一種策略途徑的運用。從台灣參與的個案，本文發現非政府組織除了運用協商談判的途徑，或與政府協商、或國際組織協商之外，國內非政府組織所運用的途徑，主要為倡議導向的途徑、策略聯盟的途徑以及訴諸直接服務的途徑。 （三）台灣非政府組織積極參與政府間國際組織，理論上可以與外交議題進行連結，因此政府與非政府組織在某些政策層面維持良好的互動。本研究發現台灣非政府組織與政府的互動情形，存在下列的問題：1、第二軌道外交價值觀認知之不同，政府急於加入WHO這種國際政府間組織，但大多NGO卻認為政府不應將外交當作唯一考量，希望能夠加強非政府組織實際參與的實質內涵；2、非政府組織與政府參與國際的方式缺乏共識，非政府組織不認同政府對外之參與模式，反而認為政府應該做好整合資源的工作，協助國內NGO從事國際活動，盡量讓NGO可以發揮各自領域之所長，而不只是經費補助而已；3、台灣NGO與政府的關係可區分為：收編、合作、互補和對抗等類型，其中若干非政府組織與政府傾向於一種合作型的「官民策略」(Government-NGO Participant Strategy)，就加入世界衛生組織的目標而言，兩者維持相互依賴的關係。 / The paper attempts to explore related issue that Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Taiwan participating in the activities of ‘World Health Organization’ (WHO). In terms of literature review and theory approach, this paper examines why NGOs involved in global issue, and explores NGOs appearance cause and related basic theory. However, WHO is an inter-governmental organization composed of a number of member state, so far Taiwan couldn’t still be allowed to be a member of WHO. Based on qualitative research it also examines NGOs how to participate in such an intergovernmental organization, there are three main analyzing aspects. First, this paper intends to discuss the role and position of a civil organization concerning how to participate in WHO meeting and activities. Second, some of the NGOs discussed here directly provide strategies to attend international policy in WHO areas such as health, and human aid. Third, the diverse relations between NGOs and government institution may be formed with participating different processes of international action. Furthermore, we discuss the opportunities and limitations on participating actions of NGOs in Taiwan.
