The government alone<br>cannot operate in all the development work. As a complimentary force to the<br>state sector, Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) had been playing a<br>significant role in uplifting the socio-economic condition of the country over the<br>past three decades. NGOs have concentrated their efforts in diversified areas<br>and played a positive role in mobilizing and organizing the poor, alleviating<br>poverty, empowering women, conducting formal informal literacy programme<br>as well as primary education, health care, family planning, creating employment<br>opportunities and income generating activities, disbursement of loan, relief<br>and rehabilitation, post-disaster management, afforestation, etc. The NGO’s<br>significant role itself depicts the importance of NGOs in the socio-economic<br>development of Bangladesh.<br>But some of the NGOs are found involved in some of the controversial issues<br>like involvement in politics, commercial activities, corruption and they lack in financial transparency and accountability. These alleged controversial issues<br>often obscure their contribution and pose threat to the national security of the<br>country. A secondary research has been carried out to take an account of the<br>impact of these alleged controversial issues on national security of Bangladesh.<br>The paper found out that some controversial activities of some of the NGOs<br>are directly or indirectly affecting the non-traditional security of Bangladesh<br>and a set of actions are necessary to maximize the contributions of the NGOs<br>in the overall development of the country and make them accountable to the<br>government and beneficiaries. An autonomous NGO Commission should be set<br>up to monitor the entire NGO sector and at the same time NGOs are to be ensured<br>to spend most of their fund in the visible development works.</p>}, number={1}, journal={NDC E-JOURNAL}, author={Brigadier General Md Emadul Haque, ndc, psc}, year={2011}, month={Jun.}, pages={50-70} }
