Here in the UK, NGO's (Non Government Organisations) are definitely proving to be an effective way for the Government to lend cost-effective support to worthy Programmes that are just getting started, such as BDTI. In the form of Charitable Trusts, Community Interest Companies and the like, they actively fulfill roles that in the past have been expensive or impossible for government departments to fulfill. They attract private-sector operators and creative individuals who get the job done at a small fraction of the cost of a government department, – and with the right skills.
