NEPALGUNJ: It has come to light that only 10 per cent of the total amount executed by Nepali Non-government Organizations (NGOs) for social development reaches out to the target beneficiaries.
Based on the study of investment in Mid and Far-western regions, it is found that around 90 per cent of the expenditure of the NGOs is apparently expended in staffing, allowances for office-bearers and administrative works, said Bharat Jungam, an anti-corruption activist.
Jungam, who has arrived Nepalgunj in course of the campaign, said the amount stated to be channelized for poverty alleviation, HIV/AIDS, women empowerment and other programme in the name of people has not reached to the target beneficiaries.
'It seems that there is misappropriation of amount in most of the programmes \implemented by the NGOs', Jungam further said.
