Abstract:

A recent study of voluntary organizations in Israel found that they tend today to operate long-term activity programs, heavily supported by the government, and are reluctant to turn existing programs over to the government and thus enable the establishment of new programs or assumption of monitoring and advocate roles. This status quo among voluntary and statutory organizations may not be in the best interests of the development of social services in Israel.
