Synopsis

Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) vary in their origins and roles, but all share a similar set of questions for management and organizational development. NGOs face constant and complex challenges - unpredictable funding, the complexity of social change, and no single bottom-line for success -- and what little guidance is available is often difficult to find.

The Earthscan Reader on NGO Management addresses this problem by drawing together a range of key texts covering ten critical areas of management for nonprofit organizations involved in international development. It is the only comprehensive publication of its kind in the field and describes how NGOs can and must develop their management capabilities in order to be successful in benefiting those whom they were set up to help. The book is unique in its balance of conceptual and practically oriented writings. Accompanied by an extensive introduction, this collection by an array of respected authors will be an invaluable resource for leaders, managers and those studying or analyzing NGOs.
