Abstract
This paper establishes some of the criticisms which have been made of the NGO sector in international development, focussing on the issue of governance. It then examines to what extent these criticisms appear to be yes for Tajikistan. The conclusion is that many of the shortcomings of the sector generally are, indeed, evident in this country. Despite this, there are a number of factors which indicate that a more positive approach to aid and development in the country could be realised. Some recommendations towards this end are made. As the problems of Tajikistan are by no means unique, it is likely that this conclusion also has application in other countries in similar circumstances and stages of development.
