“You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist”
¬¬ -- Friedrich Nietzsche--.
The quote by Friedrich Nietzsche, could be in the thoughts of any nongovernmental organization (NGO) attempting to expand globally and establish an international nongovernmental organization (INGO) in Cambodia. The service for improvement of natural resources and environmental management by providing clean water through INGO’s is desperately needed in developing countries. However, not all countries especially Cambodia are easy to infiltrate due to barriers to entry, barriers to operational activities, and barriers to resources put up by legal blockades. The challenges of an INGO in providing the natural resource of water is not just in filtering out the contamination of diseases, but filtering out the legal obstacles that contaminate their efforts also.
Barriers to Entry
Entrance into the nonprofit organization society within the borders of Cambodia is not as easy as it appears. Three large legal barriers to entry exist before any INGO can be established inside of the borders of Cambodia.
The first hurdle the legal barrier to entry is registering the INGO with the Ministry of Interior (MOI).

A developing country that places politics and greed ahead of the needs of their people is a country that will not advance in society from the developing level any time in the near future. The INGO’s mission is to fill gaps in government social and economic policies. The RGC would benefit from practicing the American phrase, “do not bite the hand that feeds you.”

Nonprofits are dealing with many risks that seemed especially significant.

This paper will discuss about organizational structure, philosophies and business practices of for-profit healthcare organizations and non-profit organizations. The most essential dissimilarity between nonprofit and for-profit organizations is the reason they exist. As for-profit organization in healthcare, they are generally found to generate income for entrepreneurs and their employees. However, nonprofits are generally found to serve a humanitarian or environmental need. Furthermore, nonprofits an organization does not pay property taxes due to a consideration of a charity and they establish a certain community in agreement with state and federal (Ingram, 2014).

“You see I want to be quite obstinate about insisting that we have no way of knowing—beyond that fundamental loyalty to the social code—what is ‘right’ and what is ‘wrong,’ what is ‘good’ and what ‘evil.’”
Throughout the nation’s 2000-year history, Cambodia, a developing Southeast Asian country located on the Indochina Peninsula, has experienced a number of glories and tragedies; as a matter of fact, it was until 1993 that the democratic election, supported by the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC), were conducted to restore peace in Cambodia under a coalition government (CIA World Factbook, 2013). In order to transform from the negative peace which is just the absent of direct violence to the positive peace meaning the absent of cultural and structural violence, Cambodia, the younger member of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), has been trying as hard as possible to address the problem of inequality with the obvious hope that if inequality is not natural, according to Hobbes, but rather constructed, there are probably chances to level down its impacts or even demolish its existence.

During the beginning of the genocide, after the war, the Khmer Rouge were able to manipulate the public with their clever thinking and brutal ways. It helped that the Cambodians wanted peace at any cost, but the cost that needed to be payed, was the cost of their freedom. “The Khmer Rouge were very clever and brutal. Their tactics were effective because most of us refused to believe their malicious intentions. Their goal was to liberate us.

Mining majors may not always do what is best for the country that they operate within.

This is because without mining majors taking all of the minerals and selling them off, the people native to the country and governments are able to make the profits from selling their minerals.
