What is interesting to me is that despite so many NGOs being involved, the clean up of the toxic site has not been done - is this not something people could do on their own or negotiate? It again boils down to priorities : the idea now should be to look ahead - if you see the petition it talks of what happened - less about what may be done going forward - its just that of late I feel that all the resources of the NGOs are being under utilised and there is a lack of strategic understanding of issues and accountability in the sector as a whole. Just being concerned and involved is not enough - if there is funding there should be accountability and real change - I am not against NGOs just the lack of corporate efficiency in this sector. Being woolly headed idealism will not help counter the sharks.
