Challenges Facing the Non-Aligned Movement

  • Shortage of funds — Due to economic problems in some member countries, they have not been able to remit contributions.
  • Personality differences among some leaders
  • Lack of commitment since NAM members owes allegiance to other organs e.g. OAU, UNO, Commonwealth e.t.c.
  • Member countries still retain ties with former colonial masters and hence find it difficult to pursue independent policies
  • Political instability e.g. civil wars, coup d’etats
  • Border disputes between member states hinder their cooperation e.g. India and Pakistan over Kashmir, Somalia vs Ethiopia.
  • Affairs of NAM are not well coordinated due to the lack of a secretariat
  • Individual national interests conflict with those of NAM
  • Ideological differences between member states
  • The collapse of the USSR destabilized the movement. There was no longer any need to align with her.
  • Relies on the goodwill of member states to implement decisions
  • Weak economies of member states and hence failure to remit funds to NAM
