The 2000 NGO Sustainability Index
For Central and Eastern Europe and Eurasia
This Index began in 1997 as a study of five dimensions of NGO Sustainability
in 17 countries. With the assistance of USAID's Advisory Committee on Voluntary
Foreign Assistance (ACVFA) and with input from USAID Missions, the methodology
has been improved so that the study is both more rigorous and more comprehensive.
This 2000 NGO Sustainability Index measures seven dimensions in twenty-seven
countries in the region plus Kosovo. For the first time this year, the Index
also includes the countries of the Northern Tier that have recently graduated
from traditional USAID assistance, and Belarus and Moldova.
In order to improve the usability of the Index, beginning with this edition,
we have provided a new statistical section in each country report. This section
includes the capital and population of each country, along with a set of basic
economic indicators, to give the reader a sense of the economic and demographic
context in which NGOs in each country operate and seek to sustain themselves.
All economic statistics quoted are for 1999, unless otherwise noted. For the
sake of consistency, all economic and population statistics used are quoted
from Freedom House's "Nations in Transit 1999-2000".
