About the Book

This book examines the role of NGOs in development projects on the African continent. It explores the challenges and the contradictions in the relationship between the NGOs, the supporting agencies, and the African people. It is intended to provide guidance for civil society organizations and their client groups who struggle to find viable means to collaborate with NGOs, the private sector, and public sector. This books argues that increased knowledge and cooperation is essential to the achievement of sustainable development. Therefore, community based organizations and public servants must consider whether they possess the necessary resources as well as the economic opportunities before they embark on any activity. Sustainable development activities might not be useful or reasonable for every rural community in Africa. One thing is very clear; the forces of globalization or sustainable development do not respect cultural boundaries. This book clearly states that for African nations to succeed they must find alternatives to centralized powers of national government. In addition, this book examines the transformation of several sub-Saharan African nations in the twenty-first century. African nations must reevaluate their concept of leadership, which rests on the notion that good leaders are born, not made. Therefore, there should be a greater emphasis on the development of political and managerial skills through formal education and industrial training. NGOs and civil societies could play a vital role in this transformation and, therefore, the future of Africa.

Review :
This book is a magnificent collection of African minds and cases on collective approaches to sustainable development in the continent. Every African, especially political leaders or aspirants, should take a retreat with this book and reassess why we lack conscience and keep our people characterized as underdeveloped. Professor Dibie is an expert on public management of NGOs. He has assembled a group of African scholars who have a great deal of knowledge in the field of NGOs operations in Africa. The text makes a great overivew of the management of NGOs in Africa. Professor Robert Dibie's book is among the most important texts on the most important texts on NGOs and sustainable development in Africa today. It is comprehensive, clear, up-to-date, and highly readable. My undergraduate and graduate students like it very much. Collectively, the chapters take the reader on a stimulating, insightful, and comprehensive journey through the realm of NGOs' role in sustainable development in Africa. This volume brings together a comprehensive and insightful discussion of the key economic, social, political and institutional variables shaping NGOs operations and sustainable development efforts in Africa. This book is an intelligent discussion of an important international phenomenon. It is a frank, honest, and balanced examination with special appeal to practitioners and administrators. The study's examination of challenges and opportunities facing NGOs in Sub-Saharan Africa is both intriguing and provocative.
