Synopsis

* Examines the new roles and challenges NGOs confront as they grow beyond service delivery and advocacy
* Argues for engagement and more effective learning strategies at both global and local levels

Written by a dynamic combination of key researchers and practitioners, New Roles and Relevance examines the large range of critical challenges facing development NGOs as they struggle to maintain their integrity and independence, while simultaneously assuming an expanding role in the fight against global poverty. This authoritative book calls for an overall improvement in theory and practice by challenging NGOs to search for greater relevance, improved accountability, and better performance in the globalized world.
