Factors like sustainability, fund management, and working with the locality are all important to successfully operate NGOs in the developing world. It is important to address these issues in developing country philanthropy in order to diminish the barrier between the global North and South. There has been a long history of the North ( United States, Europe, Canada, and Russia) taking resources from the global South (South America, much of Asia, and Africa).
