Development Projects Would Not Sustain If Only Rely On Donation

The current developing country needs international donation/assistance to process any operation of the project. Of course, the donation is inevitable for those whose nation has just emerged from the devastation like Cambodia. However, waiting for expressly depend on the donation, there is no self-reliance for the sustainability of the development plan at all. As if the donors phase out so most of the development projects seem to paralyze the process. It means that a beneficiary country that is responsible for various fields more apparently absorbs those potentials from donations to enhance its capacity, otherwise it would be a danger for a development project which benefits to the beneficiaries and they should be alert to change concept.

They receive donations including fund and technical assistance. These donations are very active in contributing to restore the nation from mass destruction.
Generally, the presidents of the respective departments always seek more and more donations or fundraising so that to kick off the implementation of a development project in their department or community lines. It is good to try to seek donors to support community development projects. However, some government officials never satisfy with the technical donation/assistance if those donors do not involve in the budget too. Normally and culturally, they would need extra individual interests from the development projects rather than public interests.

Besides, although they got a donation for years whenever the donor's phase-out those development projects shall paralyze their process, therefore everything would not sustain. That is because of the donation-interdependence concept and project implementers never learn from donors. Another thing, the officials in the ministries or institutions did not strive their best ability ahead of depending on donation or assistance. By contrast, they just look to wait for donations only by doing nothing. For example, the only education video clips for dissemination and public awareness to the people could be undergone unless there are sponsors or donors, otherwise, they are not able to produce this video clip.

We acknowledge that the donation including budget and technical assistance are crucial for the poor community nation. Therefore, in order to use effectively those donations and targeting, they have to
A-Harness it and in a cost-effective manner
B-Maximize taking benefit from project operation for human resources capacity building so that guarantee the sustainability of the development project whenever the donor's phase-out. They have to learn to survive by themselves not just rely on donations forever.

Other developing countries in the region feel happy to grant any kind of humanitarian technical assistance from the international non-governmental organizations or any state’s government even it is not a kind of budget (cash). In the donation, they also take notice that there have been happening of cheating for their own benefits rather than public benefits. If they do not gain their own benefits those who receive a donation rarely interested in assistance or donation. That is why some donors feel frustration with their kindness and it has also been hindering the community development process.

Therefore, in order to accelerate the developments, both people and officials have to change their behaviors necessarily, for instance, get rid of concept which depends on a donation, in return they must be self-reliant of mindset much more than ever if possible. Furthermore, they must be smart in using donations or assistance effectively to benefit both physical infrastructure and the development of human resources.

It is crucial for donation but the assistance of human resources capacity development is increasingly more important. Nevertheless, if you strongly rely on donation or assistance, it would be harmful to the community beneficiary concerning to development plan.
