Abstract (type = abstract)
In a leaked July 2014 Indian Intelligence Bureau (IIB) SECRET report titled Concerted efforts by select foreign funded NGO’s to ‘take down’ Indian development projects (Which devotes an entire section to “Anti Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) activism”) the IIB clearly expresses concern over the potential influence foreign funding can have on indigenous NGO’s. This thesis analyzes a dataset of 719 Indian based NGO’s that are working in the biotechnology, agriculture, food, land and environment sectors in an effort to uncover the determinants of foreign funding. It is proposed that this funding is not a result of mass altruism but rather a combination of economic and psychological factors which are comprised of determinants relating to utility and efficiency (economic factors) and determinants that are controllable and uncontrollable (psychological factors). The objective of this thesis is to identify factors of an NGO which may help to explain successful foreign funding campaigns. A Tobit model and Heckman Selection Two-Step model are developed for testing and comparison between the two. Results indicate weak support for the notion that foreign funding is a result of economic and psychological determinants.
