我们以英国民间社会挑战基金（CSCF）为例，回顾政府对小型非政府组织的资助，将其作为促进国际发展的机制。从广泛的制度经济学角度来看，我们对比了这种支持的两种可能的理由——积极影响的证据和政治上的权宜之计。定性研究表明，通过 CSCF 资助的非政府组织行动的积极影响的经验证据相对较弱。政治上的权宜之计有助于解释为什么这种行为会被容忍。未能产生更好的影响证据也可归因于对于如何更严格地做到这一点缺乏共识，以及在缺乏可信的负面影响证据的情况下愿意给予小型非政府组织无罪推定的意愿。
We review government funding of small NGOs as a mechanism to promote international development, taking the UK Civil Society Challenge Fund (CSCF) as a case study. Within a broad institutional economics perspective, we contrast two possible justifications for such support – evidence of positive impact and political expedience. Qualitative research suggests that empirical evidence of the positive impact of NGO actions funded through CSCF was relatively weak. Political expedience helps to explain why this was tolerated. The failure to generate better impact evidence can also be attributed to the lack of consensus about how to do so more rigorously, combined with a willingness to give small NGOs the benefit of the doubt in the absence of credible negative evidence of impact.
