Summarize the challenges public health NGOs have in comparison with government

• The Unit 3 assignment is an evaluation paper of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) working on behalf of your chosen topic. You will be asked to interview a representative of an NGO or a relevant public health professional to help inform your assignment.
• The Unit 5 assignment is an in-depth analysis paper of your selected global health problem and the country and people affected. You will be asked to develop an educational resource or brief project proposal related to your chosen issue. You will be asked to present your resource or proposal to a relevant public health officer or at a government or NGO chapter meeting
• The Unit 9 assignment is a Kaltura video in which you report on the preparation, experience, and outcomes of presenting a strategic plan or policy proposal at a professional organization meeting or a meeting with a relevant government official. Because this is a report on the experience, please make sure you have attended the meeting before completing the assignment.
(You choose the topic)
Begin the process of researching and selecting a country and global health problem of interest to you. You will use this same health issue for all three assignments.
Nongovernmental Agencies Involved in Global Issues
Assignment Summary
Multiple government-funded agencies work to positively affect health disparities across the globe. It is important for doctoral-prepared nurses to be aware of nongovernment funding organizations (called NGOs) that are also having an effect on global health care issues.
NGOs originated with the formation of the United Nations in 1945. They are generally defined as nonprofit entities independent of governmental influence although they may receive government funding. The term NGO is not typically applied to U.S.-based nonprofit organizations. “Generally, the NGO label is given to organizations operating on an international level, although some countries classify their own civil society groups as NGOs” (GrantSpace, n.d., para. 2).
In this assignment, you are tasked with interviewing an individual from an NGO of interest that works in some way within the realm of public or global health. If you are not already interested in such an organization, then it is acceptable to interview someone from your own organization who has a focus on public health and knowledge of working with NGOs. Ideally, you will have decided during Unit 2 how you were going to approach this. Remember that you should be looking for NGOs or population health considerations that are relevant to countries beyond just the United States.
Assignment Instructions
Consider a health topic of choice and investigate what current NGOs are doing on behalf of your chosen topic. (Keep in mind that the country you focus on in this course should not be the United States.) Previously, in Unit 2, you were instructed to make contact with your chosen NGO, or population health professional with knowledge of NGOs, and interview them. After your interview, evaluate the NGO, paying special attention to its ability (and potential willingness) to get help with your health topic of choice. For your assignment make sure you are addressing the following:
• Differentiate public health NGOs from governmental public health organizations.
o Provide a history of the selected organization.
o Examine the financial health of the organization including how much money the organization has raised for the selected program.
o Include current data related to money raised, money distributed, and the impact on the health initiative.
o Identify countries where this organization has a presence.
o Explain how stakeholders and members are selected or join the organization.
• Explain the advantages public health NGOs have over government-sponsored programs.
o Compare NGOs to government-sponsored programs in terms of the following:
o Donations sought and obtained.
o Funds distribution.
o Application for assistance.
• Summarize the challenges public health NGOs have in comparison with government-sponsored programs.
• Analyze the sufficiency of data available to meet the criteria that public health NGOs use to choose to get involved in a health issue.
o Examine the determining criteria for this organization to get involved in a health issue, including, but not limited to:
o How donations are sought and obtained.
o How funds are distributed.
o How application for assistance is made.
o Discuss how you would approach this agency for assistance.
• Explain how your research and interviewing experiences challenged or met your assumptions about public health organizations and delivery.
o What surprised (or aligned with your expectations) about public health delivery?
o What surprised (or aligned with your expectations) about NGOs versus government-sponsored programs?
o How has this experience affected you?
Convey purpose, in an appropriate tone and style, incorporating supporting evidence and adhering to organizational, professional, and scholarly writing standards.
Also, enter your hours spent interviewing and collecting data as practicum hours into CORE ELMS. Doing this is also part of your grade on this assignment.
