You may find that there's a kinda secretive central authority that can do things, often nasty things, and get away with it. Or that the resources that the government uses, are really used to benefit few people rather than public as a whole. You may find that there are elections but the elections are not always a level playing field.

Not everyone has an equal chance of the systems don't have integrity or if you think of day to day stuff such as how education and health and other services work, you might find that people have very little chance to actually give their opinion to say whether things are working or not.

And, in fact, if they complain they will face the consequences. You may find that the media is not open, that there's censorship, and in fact, people talk in hushed tones because they are afraid that if they speak openly and speak critically, that something may happen to them. In this space, NGOs have a hard time operating because they have to be very careful about what they say and how they operate because there are many restrictions that they have to worry about.

They might be closed down or their leaders might be someone to the police and in some cases even imprisoned or beaten up. In such context, doing advocacy requires you to be very careful in the way of the consequences of what you might do. And finally, let's talk about the third context which as you can imagine between closed and open, and in fact most countries fall in this category.

What are the semi open contexts look like? Well, this is one way you will find some level of transparency, there is some level of openness, it also looks good on paper and in laws but in practice, it falls short. The governments may promise to release certain things but in practice they don't or it's not very meaningful.

The quality of elections may also be a problem. There are elections but it may not be a level playing field. Not everyone will be able to compete, and you can't always be sure that everyone’s votes will count equally. Or take media, the government will have an ostensibly free press and free television and free newspapers. But in reality, you might find that those newspapers can’t say certain things and that they are often under pressure or are forced to close down if they are very critical. In this kinda context, NGOs have a hard time to operate because they need to constantly figure out, can we do this or can we not?

What will be the implications of this action? Might we get in trouble if we speak the truth? May some of the people we are working with get arrested or get harassed or get locked up? And so in this context, NGOs can certainly operate, but they have to always be mindful of the laws and regulations, both written and unsaid, in order to be able to get their things done.

: Though this is a common tip for all interviews, it’s especially important for project management interviews. In projects, your ability to ask the right questions can be the difference between success and missing key goals. Come prepared with a list of questions you want to ask. You can also take notes during the interview on points you want to clarify.
