Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 15 page paper focusing on the accountability of NGO (non-governmental organizations) activity and the ethical base on which it is founded to inform actions that NGOs take in developing nations. NGOs must be held accountable not only for their specific actions, but also for the ethics underlying those actions. Investors need to reward public NGOs with support in the stock market rather than abandon those not posting consistently positive quarterly results. Greater transparency and commitment to the TBL (triple bottom line) model can assist in educating investors and NGOs, as can assessment of possible alternatives on a “what if” basis. The cost of avoidance of damage nearly always is less than its repair. The paper uses the philosophy of Kant and Mill; cost-benefit analysis; and real-world examples in support of its conclusions. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

activity and management, but the focus here is on non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the role that they play in shaping development in developing nations. Specifically, the issue is that
of accountability of NGO activity and the ethical base on which it is founded. Interest in Developing Nations The basis for NGO interest
in developing nations is broad; the specific interest of a specific NGO depends on the organizations business and its goals for the future. In the case of the former
Union Carbide, its purpose in establishing its Bhopal manufacturing plant was to reduce its own expenses of production to increase profitability. It would achieve this end through the use
of much cheaper labor than that available in the US, and through exploiting poorly-developed regulations addressing chemical production. Without the tragedy that claimed thousands of lives in and around
