BUSINESS SUPPORT ASSOCIATIONS IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR Sample Clauses

BUSINESS SUPPORT ASSOCIATIONS IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR. Azerbaijan has experienced three distinct patterns of development for associations and business support organizations. Soon after independence in 1991, there was a burst of activity as existing unions and state groups were encouraged to “go private.” At the same time, new private (non-government) associations were openly encouraged. Within a year, 1,118 organizations had been registered as self-sustaining associations, and all but 12 were counted as “private non-profit and non-governmental.” How many actually were beyond government influence is impossible to say, but the current registered list of associations (National numbers 212, with 27 additional municipal groups, and regional associations total), indicate some government linkage for 187. If this profile is accurate, there are only 57 legitimately private non-profit, non-government associations or registered business support organizations in the country. What happened during the interim since 1991 was a second period of severe de-registration during 1994 and 1995. The explanation for contraction, offered by the President of the Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce is that a politically expedient vetting occurred to remove “disruption influences.” The explanation given by three different association spokesmen whose organizations have survived, is that government leaders found excuses to “void registrations of anyone who was not supporting the gangsters in power.” Apparently “re-registration” can still occur without due process as private business associations (both past recipients of Eurasia Foundation grants) were found to have ”irregularities,” and subsequently not permitted to continue their license. These were Profile, a think tank and research group that now contracts as a group of individually registered consultants, and the Strategic Research Center for Development and International Collaboration (SIGMA), which was to advocate for reforms and published critical under Eurasia grants on lack of government support for SME development. The situation in 1999 represents the third pattern of association development. This is best explained as a more stable, but slow-growth period, when associations must still be careful of their activities and mandates, but with donor-sponsorship, their number is expanding again. Registration remains a problem, and of the new associations recorded between January and June 1999, were connected in some manner to government or organizations. The two exceptions concerned charitie...
