Why do NGOs participate in NGO coalitions?

Abstract

Diese Masterarbeit analysiert die zwei NGO-Koalitionen SDG Watch Austria und SDG Watch Europe sowie ihre Mitglieder, warum diese sich für die Teilnahme an der Koalition entschieden. Mit der Verabschiedung der SDGs und ihres umfassenden Rahmens hat die Zusammenarbeit von zivilgesellschaftlichen Organisationen an Bedeutung gewonnen. Zur Beantwortung der Forschungsfrage wurden acht Interviews mit Mitgliedsorganisationen der beiden Koalitionen durchgeführt und ausgewertet. Ausgehend von transnationalen Advocacy- Netzwerken und Advocacy-Koalitionen wurden vier Hypothesen rund um komplementäre Ressourcen, erhöhte Glaubwürdigkeit und Legitimität, verbesserter Zugang zu Regierungen und internationalen Organisationen, sowie Kohärenz der Werte formuliert. Die Analyse zeigt, dass NGOs, die an SDG Watch Austria und SDG Watch Europe teilnehmen, vom Austausch von Ressourcen und Informationen mit anderen Mitgliedern profitieren. Die breitere Sichtbarkeit und Wahrnehmung der Koalition verleiht der einzelnen NGO zudem mehr Glaubwürdigkeit. Die NGOs verbesserten ihren Ruf bei der Regierung, da sie Teil der Koalition sind. Außerdem nutzen sie SDG Watch Austria, um Zugang zur Regierung zu erhalten, insbesondere bei der Erstellung des VNR. Auf europäischer Ebene ermöglichte SDG Watch Europe einen besseren Zugang zu Mitgliedern des Parlaments und der Europäischen Kommission. Schließlich teilen alle NGOs, die Teil der Koalition sind die Werte und Ziele der SDGs. Dies schafft Vertrauen zwischen den Mitgliedern und führt dazu, dass sie sich an Koalitionen beteiligen. SDG Watch Austria und SDG Watch Europe sind erfolgreiche Koalitionen, deren Mitglieder aktiv teilnehmen und von der Koalition profitieren. Darüber hinaus könnte diese Arbeit die Grundlage für eine tiefergehende Analyse der Rolle von Koalitionen bei der Umsetzung der SDGs bilden.

This thesis analyses two NGO Coalitions – SDG Watch Austria and SDG Watch Europe – and its members on why they chose to participate in the coalition. With the adoption of the SDGs and their extensive framework, the cooperation of CSOs has become more important. To answer the research question eight interviews with member organisations of both coalitions were conducted and analysed. Drawing from transnational advocacy networks and advocacy coalitions four hypotheses were formulated around complementary resources, increased credibility and legitimacy, enhanced access to governments and international organisations, as well as coherence of values. The analysis shows that NGOs participating in SDG Watch Austria and SDG Watch Europe profit from sharing resources and information with other members. The wider recognition of the coalition further gives the individual NGO more credibility. NGOs improved their reputation with the government since they participate in the coalition. Furthermore, they use SDG Watch Austria to get access to the government, especially with the compilation of the VNR. At European level SDG Watch Europe grants greater access to Members of Parliament or the European Commission. Finally, all NGOs that are members of the coalition share the values and goals of the SDGs. This builds trust between members and makes them participate coalitions. SDG Watch Austria and SDG Watch Europe are successful coalitions with members actively participating and gaining from the coalition. Additionally, this research could be the basis for a deeper analysis of the role of coalitions in the implementation of the SDGs.
