3.1.2 External Aid to PNGOs as a Percentage of
Total External Aid to the WB&GS
The following table 12 measures the percentage of
external aid to the WB&GS that is captured by the PNGO
sector between 1999 and 2008. As the table shows, the
percentage of aid to the PNGO sector fluctuates
significantly from year to year. However, similar to the
early estimates of the MoPIC, when all ten years are
averaged, the PNGO sector captures approximately 10%
of total external aid to the WB&GS. Note: As mentioned
in previous sections, estimates of external disbursements
to PNGOs in 2005 is suspected to be partially
misallocated from 2004.

3.1.3 The Number of PNGOs Compared to
External Aid
Figure 4 compiles four different estimates of the number
of PNGOs over a 20 year period and overlays it against
the estimated amount of external aid entering the PNGO
sector. When put against the political timeline, the story
of PNGOs, especially their ‘rocky’ relationship with the
PA, becomes clearer.
In the early 1990s, Curmi estimated that nearly 2000
PNGOs were operating in the WB&GS, while the World
Bank described the number as being between 2000 and
1400 between 1990 and the 1994 establishment of the
PA. In 1997, Curmi estimated that there were only
around 1200 PNGOs operating in the WB&GS, a 15%
drop over three years. MAS’s Mappings of the PNGO
sector in 2001 and 2007 showed that there were
respectively 982 and 1495 active PNGOs in these years.
If these previous estimates are accurate, between 1990
and 2001, the number of PNGOs declined by over 50%.
Between 2001 and 2007, on the other hand, the number
of PNGOs has grown by nearly 62%, and is suspected to
be even higher today with the increase in external aid to
both the WB&GS as a whole and PNGOs in particular
