NGOs

In 2003, professor Terje Tvedt wrote:

The close-knit cooperation between the state, NGOs and research institutes is described as "The Norwegian Model". In 2003 several thousands are employed by the state, in roughly 150 charities, in research institutes and universities tied to Norwegian policies towards in Africa, Asia and Latin-America. Every year this system gets 15 billion kroner to spend. In 2003, Norwegian charities received three billion kroner from the ministry of foreign affairs for their work. They do charity and aid work in over 100 countries and are involved in close to 10 000 projects.[1]

The 2009 parliamentary strategy report also contains a programmatic chapter on so-called NGOs:


While we used to separate between charitable organizations and political organizations, such as Amnesty International and the Norwegian Campaign against Nuclear Weapons, the vast majority of volunteer organizations are now political actors and agents of influence in addition to being operational charity organizations. The money that is collected is spent in tight-knit cooperation with media and international media personalities to maximize media exposure and political influence. At the same time cooperation with government and business grows ever tighter and happens more and more. The globalization, and its coinciding media and communication revolution, have led to a substantial increase in the ability of these actors to network and politically influence across borders and actors.[2]

Norwegian Helsinki Committee

In June 2024, Glenn Diesen described the Norwegian Helsinki Committee as "financed by the US government and CIA-cutout the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). They regularly publish hit pieces about me and rarely miss their weekly tweets that label me a propagandist for Russia. It is always name-calling and smearing, rather than anything that can be considered coherent argument. The standard formula for cancellation is to shame my university for allowing academic freedom, with the implicit offer of redemption by terminating my employment as a professor.[8]
