Abstract
Civil organisations services and care operating in the social field are an important part of the social network since they contribute to the social inclusion and increasing life quality of excluded social groups. In the study we deal with how much the innovativeness (on program and specialization level) and system approach are emphasised in the approaches of civil organisations that operate in the field of social and child protection. Firstly, we briefly overview the main characteristics of civil organisations that operate in social field. Then we examine those tenders of civil organisations operating on social and child protection field which tendered between 2008 and 2009 in a concrete Hungarian tender system, in the so-called Norwegian Civil Fund (NCF)
Highlights
The social capital is a kind of trust and mutuality that builds on common ethical standards and permeates the entire civil society (Osváth, 2005)
Putnam defines 5 social mechanisms regarding the social capital: 1) eases the solution of collective problems; 2) competitive basis for the community development; 3) broadens our purview in terms of social life; 4) ensures the information that is required for successful goal setting and goal achievement; 5) by public participation, it develops the individuals’ life quality and satisfaction
For the research quantitative and qualitative methods were used to examine those tenders’ content, budget, innovation of the projects and main characteristics of the applicant organisation which were submitted in three round between 2008 and 2009 within NGO
