Professionalism at the Local Level --- I am a bit unsure of what was meant in the last line Fritz. Do you mean that local NGOs are not always professional? I understand what you mean I think, but from my professional experience, I have also seen larger organizations also lacking in professionalism at times. It is important that we do not go into a local context assuming that the local NGOs are not professional or cannot be. Their local influence and expertise can provide valuable access and influence that would otherwise be impossible or negligible without them.
