About the Book

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) vary widely in their origins and in their nature. However, all share similar but distinctive challenges to their managerial and organizational development. This reader draws together a range of key texts from diverse sources, covering ten critical areas of management for non-profit organizations involved in international development. It describes how NGOs can and must develop their management strategies in order to fulfil their goals and benefit those whom they were set up to help. Accompanied by an extensive, detailed introduction, this collection features an array of respected authors.
