Advocacy in the age of authoritarianism: adjustments of all sorts

Published on 1 January 2009

This paper examines the US government’s support for introducing advocacy amongst Egyptian NGOs, and the inherent tensions for donors backing a politicised form of development that clashes with their foreign policy.

In the Egyptian context, donor policy has deterred advocacy NGOs from engaging in more participatory forms of social action.
