摘要 本研究旨在調查受訪者對伯利茲減貧和社區發展舉措的看法,特別關注非政府組織 (NGO) 的作用。通過調查問卷收集數據,並進行交叉表分析以確定答復中的模式和趨勢。調查結果顯示,相當一部分受訪者對非政府組織在扶貧方面的有效性表示擔憂,40%的人同意非政府組織為伯利茲市的扶貧做出了重大貢獻。此外,結果表明,人們對非政府組織接觸目標人群的能力有不同的看法,30%的人認為非政府組織能夠有效地接觸弱勢群體。同樣,受訪者對非政府組織在改善滿足基本需求方面的有效性也有不同的看法,33% 的人強烈同意,17.8% 的人不同意。該研究還強調了非政府組織與政府之間合作的重要性。調查發現,36.7%的受訪者同意非政府組織與政府合作開展扶貧和社區發展工作。總體而言,調查結果強調了伯利茲減貧和社區發展的複雜性,人們對非政府組織的有效性有多種看法。結果強調,非政府組織需要加強合作、改善目標定位和外聯、加強監測和評估、促進能力建設、參與宣傳、提高透明度和問責制、促進知識交流以及利用戰略溝通方法。通過落實這些建議,非政府組織可以加大對伯利茲減貧和社區發展的貢獻。
This study aimed to examine the perceptions of respondents regarding poverty alleviation and community development initiatives in Belize, with a specific focus on the role of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). Data was collected through a survey questionnaire, and a cross-tabulation analysis was conducted to identify patterns and trends among the responses.
The findings revealed that a significant proportion of respondents expressed concerns about the effectiveness of NGOs in poverty alleviation, with 40% agreeing that NGOs contribute significantly to poverty alleviation in Belize City. Moreover, the results indicated a varied perception of NGOs` ability to reach the target population, with 30% agreeing that NGOs were effective in reaching vulnerable populations. Similarly, respondents had mixed views on NGOs` effectiveness in improving access to basic needs, with 33% strongly agreeing and 17.8% disagreeing. The study also highlighted the importance of collaboration between NGOs and the government. It was found that 36.7% of respondents agreed that NGOs collaborated with the government for poverty alleviation and community development efforts. Overall, the findings underscore the complex nature of poverty alleviation and community development in Belize, with a range of perceptions regarding the effectiveness of NGOs. The results emphasize the need for NGOs to strengthen collaboration, improve targeting and outreach, enhance monitoring and evaluation, foster capacity building, engage in advocacy, promote transparency and accountability, foster knowledge exchange, and utilize strategic communication approaches. By addressing these recommendations, NGOs can enhance their contributions to poverty alleviation and community development in Belize.
