The purpose of this paper is to explore the need to restructure the relations between the Third Sector and the State. The case of Third Sector settlement services in Canada is examined this proposition. This paper takes the approach of a critical literature review to analyze the changing relationship between the Third Sector and the State in Canada from the early 1600’s to the contemporary era. This paper will demonstrate that the State has become restructured to follow neoliberal priorities thereby restricting settlement services and negatively impacting the integration of newcomers. The adoption of collaborative governance is proposed as a way to facilitate access to settlement programming that will support the development of partnerships, capacity-building and the sharing of best practices among settlement service providers. This paper is a call for action to Third Sector organizations and the State to begin to reconcile and strengthen their relationship to better serve newcomers to Canada.

The Relationship

Civil society and philanthropy in Africa are regularly theorized in formal terms and oft perceived as inherently democratizing forces. Yet, existing evidence exposes the limitations of these assumptions. This article provides an introduction to the symposium issue on civil society and philanthropy in Africa. The objective of the introduction, and the articles contained in the symposium, is to examine important questions related to civil society and philanthropy on the continent: What is the complex history and role of civil society and philanthropy in Africa? How have donor dependence and professionalization affected the effectiveness of the third sector? What are the contours of the relationship between the state and civil society? We ask these crucial questions in an attempt to provide a more nuanced and contextualized understanding of civil society and philanthropy on the continent.

The Third Sector

The purpose of this article is to present a framework to understand transparency in the third sector and then to explore the main research streams regarding the disclosure of information and accountability by conducting a systematic literature review on the antecedents and dimensions of the transparency of information disclosed by non-profit organizations (NPOs). The essential questions of this work are addressed from an international perspective. In particular, we explore three research questions: (1) why should NPOs disclose transparent information to stakeholders? (2) Why do not all NPOs disclose transparent information? (3) What means do NPOs use to disclose transparent information? Our results highlight the lack of transparency legislation in the third sector, leading NPOs to adopt the voluntary disclosure of information policies to improve the perceived credibility of these entities by their stakeholders. In conclusion, our study highlights the importance of developing a systematic body of knowledge regarding the situation of transparent, voluntary information disclosure in the sector. Moreover, the Sustainable Development Goals promulgated by the United Nations place a high value on transparency for the accountability of institutions. To achieve sustainable development, both peace and the governance of institutions are needed. Reducing corruption and promoting transparency are among the goals which should be reached to achieve social sustainability.
