Giant and DwarfKenya, which has projects from 9 out of 10 of the named NGDOs and South Sudan, where6 of the 10 organizations are involved. Other countries in which development organizationsare active include Angola, Ethiopia, Congo, Lesotho, Nigeria and Uganda.Let’s take a brief look at the Czech scene as well. The umbrella NGDO in the CzechRepublic is the České fórum pro rozvojovou spolupráci or FoRS (Czech Forum for DevelopmentCooperation). 211 The FoRS was established in 2002 and currently has 37 full membersand 10 observers. Those that are active in sub-Saharan Africa are shown below in alphabeticalorder:• Adra, o. s.—Angola, Ethiopia, Kenya• Ambos Mundos—Guinea• Arcidiecézní charita Praha—Republic of Congo, Uganda, Zambia• CARE Česká republika, o. s.—Burundi, Ethiopia, Uganda• Centrum Narovinu, o. s.—Kenya• Diakonie ČCE—Ethiopia• Humanistické centrum Dialog, o. s.—Benin, Guinea, Kenya• Humanitas Afrika—Burkina Faso, Ghana• Pro Contact, o. s.—Guinea• Shine Bean—Kenya• Siriri, o. p. s.—Central African Republic• Světlo pro svět, o. s.—Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Rwanda• Wontanara, o. s.—Guinea• Člověk v tísni, o. p. s.—Angola, Congo (DRC), Ethiopia, Namibia, ZambiaClearly, Czech NGDOs are active in many more countries than their Slovak counterparts.The 14 Czech NGDOs with projects in sub-Saharan African are active in 15 countries (their Slovakcounterparts are in 8 combined). Specifically these countries are Angola, Benin, BurkinaFaso, Burundi, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Congo and the DRC, Namibia, Rwanda, theCentral African Republic, Uganda and Zambia. The distribution of the aid provided by CzechNGDOs is much more distributed as well with four projects supported in Kenya and Guinea,three in Ethiopia and two each in Angola, Burkina Faso, Uganda and Zambia.Such fragmentation has its benefits in the form of more geographically and culturallydiverse know-how, which these Czech NGDOs now possess thanks to their activities acrossmultiple countries. Of course this may also be considered a major weakness due to aninsufficient concentration of human and material resources resulting in a lack of criticalmass needed to achieve a more meaningful development impact. Of course, no one has theright to decide who and where to help when there are so many people and countries thatneed the help that anywhere you decide in Africa still provides an opportunity to affect thelives of so many. If, however, we focus on using what little and limited resources we provide211 More detailed information on Czech NGDOs can be found at http://www.fors.cz/.244
Low Hanging Fruit. Central Europe and Development Aid for Africafor development aid in the most effective way possible (which we should be focused onbecause there is a major difference between saving 1,000 and 1,500 children), then weshould take the time to carefully consider how to make the largest impact with our aid aspossible. Development aid in this case could and should learn from the art of warfare. Oneof its basic strategies is to concentrate force in order to achieve a breakthrough.The historical, cultural and linguistic proximity of Slovaks and Czechs, as well as theintensive and tangible existing relationships between the people of both countries, providesus with a huge opportunity to more closely cooperate on the distant African continent.If it is possible to have a joint Czech and Slovak European “battlegroup”, we ought to be ableto cooperate in order to improve development aid for Africa, either in cooperation betweenNGDOs or between governments and government agencies. One detail worth noting is thatneither the MVRO nor the FoRS have a link to their sibling institution in the Czech Republicor Slovakia on their websites. Correcting this minor detail is thankfully quite simple.As we move towards the topic of official development assistance, let’s remember thatthe NGDOs in the Czech Republic and Slovakia are not the only routes by which Slovakand Czech citizens are engaged in Africa and around the world. Lists of organizations andthe countries in which they are active are not exhaustive and they often fail to omit anyevidence of the activities of solo actors and the participation of many Czech and Slovaksin international development organizations and organizations for which development aidis a secondary, if important, area of focus (such as the small work done by the Healthy CityCommunity Foundation in Arusha) and private actors within development aid includingthe St. Elizabeth College of Health and Social Work in Bratislava and its activities in Burundi,Rwanda, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Kenya and Uganda.245
