Análise do desempenho de uma ONG: caso da associação para mulheres face ao sida em África-Moçambique - SWAA-MOZ 2003/4-2007

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the performance of the Mozambican non-governmental organization SWAA-Moz (Association for Women in the Face of AIDS in Africa - Mozambique) which is dedicated to mobilizing communities to strengthen their capacity to advocate, prevent, control and mitigate the impact of the HIV epidemic. The performance evaluation of NGOs has been labeled as complex and quite costly, this fact is due to the nature of their area of ​​action (social area) in which the results are often subjective and even intangible. However, the process of evaluating the performance of an NGO can be carried out relatively easily and inexpensively as long as critical factors such as mission, objectives and goals are well clarified. This study describes, on the one hand, the specificities of social management, the most common procedures for performance assessment and, on the other, the characteristics of Mozambican NGOs as well as the most common practices in the area of ​​performance assessment. It also describes SWAA-Moz's experience in the field of performance evaluation, in addition to making a comparative analysis of the NGO's performance in the years 2003/4 and 2007. The results of the study indicate that the NGO in terms of performance improved and grew significantly in 2007 compared to the 2003/4 biennium. (TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
