Text in English / The study focuses on the interaction between two structures in development cooperation:
the bottom-up approach of Informal Youth Groups (IYGs) and the topdown
approach of International Non-Governmental Organisations (INGOs). These
are considered in the theoretical context of the capability approach.
In the empirical study, conducted in the cities of Amman and Zarqa in Jordan, the
researcher interviewed eleven key members of IYGs to analyse their work mechanisms
and criteria for co-operation. A Focus Group Discussion with members of INGOs
about challenges and opportunities in co-operations with IYGs was conducted,
to complement the literature review of INGO perspectives.
The study provides insights into the work mechanism and co-operation criteria of
IYGs. The interviewees mentioned trust between the parties and sharing vision and
motivation as key requirements. Recommendations for INGOs in their work with local
partners and practical steps for supporting IYGs are given. / Development Studies / M.A. (Development Studies)
