Self-regulation and Voluntary Programs among Nonprofit Organizations
Self-regulation and Voluntary Programs among Nonprofit Organizations
This chapter, which aims to explore the role and inclusivity of nonprofit organizations in the rise of voluntary regulation programs, compares and analyzes the nongovernment organizations (NGOs) voluntary programs and government-sponsored programs, matching their similarities in terms of efficacy and results. NGOs are seen to use voluntary program membership as a way to display their quality of service toward their donors and potential donors. The chapter gives suggestions for improving NGO voluntary programs, which, albeit that they have apparent weaknesses, should be viewed as serious attempts to create credible, private forms of regulation. Like government-sponsored programs, as well as the for-profit sector, non-profit voluntary programs also face obstacles to club formation. In conclusion, it is argued that the impact of nonprofit clubs helps raise a certain sense of monitoring and accountability among nonprofit organizations.
