The spectacularization of NGOs accountability in disaster situations: evidence from the 2015 Nepal’s earthquakes by Adhikari, Pawan, Upadhaya, Bedanand, Dhakal Adhikari, Shovita, Aryal, Sanjaya, Wijethilake, Chaminda

“…Such requirements put certain NGOs, which were established to pursue political and personal goals, in a position to benefit from the situation, allowing them to obfuscate the ground level reality, for instance by manipulating the number of beneficiaries and geographical areas served, showcasing their performance on social media and facilitating pseudo-ceremonies and participation. The spectacle created by NGOs was oppressive, exacerbating inequalities in aid distribution and excluding certain groups of beneficiaries from the relief, recovery and rehabilitation efforts. …”
