The Role of American NGOs in International Development

Abstract

In this paper, I will examine the role of American nonprofit NGOs - specifically D.C. located CNFA (Cultivating New Frontiers in Agriculture), Inc. - on the long-run input into agricultural growth and sustainability of third-world countries. Such NPOs render production successful. I surveyed various employees from CNFA to understand the commercial and humanitarian principles behind international development and collaboration with foreign agribusiness companies. I will describe the methods of helping food security, program development, and financing to reduce the cleavage of modern-day society.
