Reflection: How NGOs are Managing Inclusion and Diversity in the 21st Century
Diversity and inclusion are critical aspects that most NGOs adequately advocate for in the contemporary community. Diversity is significant since it is based on differences that shape an individual’s view of the world using different approaches (Greer and Egan, 2019). It is vital in recognizing, respecting, and valuing differences based on different elements such as disability, religion, and race. Diversity is a crucial element to address in contemporary society since it is believed that most organisations enhance racial segregation, limiting unification (Carboni et al., 2021). On the other hand, inclusion refers to a well-established framework of strengthening human rights by accommodating individuals, different groups, and populations in society without considering factors such as religion, race, and disabilities (Williams, 2021). It can be identified as a process of providing equal opportunities and access to society by limiting intolerance and different types of discrimination.

According to Shrestha (2005), development is a crucial element heavily limited by lack of inclusion and diversity. In 2021, different NGOs are making significant efforts to ensure that they successfully address the problems of poor development, which may adversely impact different populations in society (Roberts, 2021). Barnardos is one of the NGOs which advocate for equitable development by eliminating specific development barriers in the community. Therefore, the topic widens my scope of understanding the necessity of development in respective communities and populations through allocating appropriate resources regardless of religion, race, or disability.
Inclusion and diversity are also significant for NGO and development scholarship since they create a learning atmosphere for different populations in contemporary society. NGOs also need inclusion and diversity in all their activities to build a positive reputation in the community (Arora and Patro, 2021). The success of any NGO depends on its ability to allocate the resources to different populations in the society without any external force but specific development elements and requirements such as access to free education by the Africans (Afford, 2021). All the organisational activities must be in line with a strategic direction of enhancing development in the community to different races, religions, and individuals with or wi...
