Develop Turkey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Yale University based monitoring organization, Develop Turkey[1] (DT) aims to build an international community of social investors, and bridge them with Turkish non-governmental organizations (NGOs)with the ultimate goal of promoting social development in Turkey. DT recognizes the ills associated with the fledgling transparent social sector in Turkey. Aside from the lack of certain institutions and attitudes, personal benefits and political corruption deters many donors from trusting the reliability and effectiveness of the Turkish social sector. Moreover, majority of the 150,000 existing NGOs in Turkey suffer from scarcity of financial capacity and efficient communication networks. Discontinuities in the flow of information between donors and recipient organizations, as well as the underdeveloped research capabilities of the organizations themselves impede efficient social development. In light of the status quo, DT’s qualified team has two goals: matching donor individuals and corporations abroad with relevant NGOs functioning in Turkey, and monitoring the successful completion of NGO projects in Turkey. Toward the realization of this ideal, DT forms a membership from a vast array of Turkish non-profits, opens chapters in other Ivy League institutions and directs Turkey related individuals and corporations to Turkish NGOs while providing full transparency and solid returns on donations.
