Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-Governmental Development Organizations have seen turbulent times over the decades; however, recent years have seen them grow to occupy high-profile positions in the fight against poverty. They are now seen as an important element of ‘civil society’, a concept that has been given increasing importance by global policy makers. This book has evolved during the course of that period to be a prime resource for those working (or wishing to work) with and for NGOs. The third edition of Non-Governmental Organizations, Management and Development is fully updated and thoroughly reorganized, covering key issues including, but not limited to, debates on the changing global context of international development and the changing concepts and practices used by NGOs. The interdisciplinary approach employed by David Lewis results in an impressive text that draws upon current research in non-profit management, development management, public management and management theory, exploring the activities, relationships and internal structure of the NGO. This book remains the first and only comprehensive and academically grounded guide to the issues facing international development NGOs as they operate in increasingly complex and challenging conditions around the world. It is the perfect resource for students undertaking studies of NGOs and the non-profit sector, in addition to being an excellent resource for development studies students more generally.
Download or read book Non Governmental Organizations and Development written by David Lewis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-09-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are high profile actors in the field of international development, both as providers of services to vulnerable individuals and communities and as campaigning policy advocates. This book provides a critical introduction to the wide-ranging topic of NGOs and development. Written by two authors with more than twenty years experience of research and practice in the field, the book combines a critical overview of the main research literature with a set of up-to-date theoretical and practical insights drawn from experience in Asia, Europe, Africa and elsewhere. It highlights the importance of NGOs in development, but it also engages fully with the criticisms that the increased profile of NGOs in development now attracts. Non-Governmental Organizations and Development begins with a discussion of the wide diversity of NGOs and their roles, and locates their recent rise to prominence within broader histories of struggle as well as within the ideological context of neo-liberalism. It then moves on to analyze how interest in NGOs has both reflected and informed wider theoretical trends and debates within development studies, before analyzing NGOs and their practices, using a broad range of short case studies of successful and unsuccessful interventions. David Lewis and Nazneen Kanji then moves on to describe the ways in which NGOs are increasingly important in relation to ideas and debates about ‘civil society’, globalization and the changing ideas and practices of international aid. The book argues that NGOs are now central to development theory and practice and are likely to remain important actors in development in the years to come. In order to appreciate the issues raised by their increasing diversity and complexity, the authors conclude that it is necessary to deploy a historically and theoretically informed perspective. This critical overview will be useful to students of development studies at undergraduate and masters levels, as well as to more general readers and practitioners. The format of the book includes figures, photographs and case studies as well as reader material in the form of summary points and questions. Despite the growing importance of the topic, no single short, up-to-date book exists that sets out the main issues in the form of a clearly written, academically-informed text: until now.

Download or read book A Practical Guide to NGO and Project Management written by Iqbal Shah and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-12 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to bring to managers and field staffs of NGOs hands-on tools and standardized procedures that ensure viable systematic documentation, without which NGOs would not be able to earn credibility and integrity for internal and external monitoring. The book contains practical tools and procedures for beginners, mid-level and senior NGOs staffs that ensure proper understanding of modern-day systematic documentation of NGOs operation. It aims to bring about operational Standard Operating Procedures to systematically document progress on projects. Generally speaking, there are many books you will find on NGOs management, but the current book that you have in your hands is different as it emphasizes practical over theory. The book calls for a system to be in a place that ensures credibility and integrity on the part of NGOs. Smart documentary evidence by following SOPs ensures NGOs' internal and external accountability. As for example, administrative SOPs ensure the smooth functioning of NGOs' staffs by bringing forward policy tools for facilitation and a healthy working environment. Financial accountability can be brought forward by following finance SOPs. NGOs can earn approval and credibility of donors by following certain practical procedures and also can ensure internal accountability and proper and smooth functioning of organization hierarchy. NGOs are formed and perished, why? It is because they do not follow proper procedures, no matter how the knowledge you have, but it is the practical documentation of your project operation that counts. Unless and until you know these practical procedures and applying them, you never get to the donors or foster that relationship. So no NGO can compromise its practical viability by having no practical procedures to follow. Donors' approval comes with practical viability and that in turn comes with having to follow practical procedures that govern NGOs operation. So if there are no practical governing rules and procedures of an NGO, then there will be no donors to approve of your projects. The book incorporates nearly all SOPs currently in practice pertaining to NGOs administration, human resources management, finance management, logistics and warehouse best practices, report writing, practical project management tools, practical community mobilization techniques and proposal writing. So the book caters to the needs of all NGOs staffs ranging from NGO kick Starter to field staffs, senior-level managers and board members. Many key concepts are being presented diagrammatically to make them understandable in a more lucid manner and put them to practice.
Download or read book Management of International Institutions and NGOs written by Eduardo Missoni and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Institutions (IIs), International NGOs (INGOs) and Transnational Hybrid Organizations (THOs) play a hugely important role in the modern world economy. Despite having been studied by scholars from a range of disciplines, these organizations have never before been approached from a management perspective. This ambitious book analyzes the management challenges associated with international cooperation and sheds light on how these organizations have evolved as the political, economic and business environments have changed around them. Covering an admirably broad canvas, the authors pursue two main objectives. Firstly, they explore the main management frameworks developed in the context of the corporate and national public/non-profit organizations and adapt them to the specificity of IIs and INGOs. This leads to the identification of a "tailored" approach to IO management based on their institutional and operational settings, stakeholder groups, core business, staff profile, and financial arrangements. Secondly, they "bring theory into practice" by linking frameworks to several case studies and best practices of organizations currently experimenting with management systems and tools, with case studies including the World Bank and the Gates Foundation. This comprehensive textbook is a must-own resource for students and academics involved with studying and working with international organizations.

Download or read book NGO Governance and Management in China written by Reza Hasmath and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As China becomes increasingly integrated into the global system there will be continuing pressure to acknowledge and engage with non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Suffice to say, without a clear understanding of the state’s interaction with NGOs, and vice versa, any political, economic and social analysis of China will be incomplete. This book provides an urgent insight into contemporary state-NGO relations. It brings together the most recent research covering three broad themes, namely the conceptualizations and subsequent functions of NGOs; state-NGO engagement; and NGOs as a mediator between state and society in contemporary China. The book provides a future glimpse into the challenges of state-NGO interactions in China's rapidly developing regions, which will aid NGOs strategic planning in both the short- and long-term. In addition, it allows a measure of predictability in our assessment of Chinese NGOs behaviour, notably when they eventually move their areas of operation from the domestic sphere to an international one. The salient themes, concepts, theories and practice discussed in this book will be of acute interest to students, scholars and practitioners in development studies, public administration, and Chinese and Asian politics. Reza Hasmath is a Lecturer in Chinese Politics at the University of Oxford, UK, and an Associate Professor in Political Science at the University of Alberta, Canada. His research looks at state-society relationships, the labour market experiences of ethnic minorities, and development theories and practices. Jennifer Y.J. Hsu is an Assistant Professor in Political Science at the University of Alberta, Canada. Her recent publications include a co-authored book HIV/AIDS in China: The Economic and Social Determinants (Routledge, 2011), and a co-edited book The Chinese Corporatist State: Adaption, Survival and Resistance (Routledge, 2012).

Download or read book Public Administration NGO s and Public Debt written by Marcel Kratochvil and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public administration can be broadly described as the development, implementation and study of branches of government policy. The pursuit of the public good by enhancing civil society, ensuring a well-run, fair and effective public service are some of the goals of the field. Furthermore, government debt (also known as public debt or national debt) is money owed by any level of government, either central government, federal government, municipal government or local government. As the government draws its income from society as a whole, public debt can be seen as an indirect debt of the taxpayers. Conversely, non-governmental organisation (NGO) is a term that has become widely accepted for referring to a legally constituted, non-governmental organisation created by natural or legal persons with no participation or representation of any government. In the cases in which NGOs are funded totally or partially by governments, the NGO maintains its non-governmental status, thereby excluding government representatives from membership in the organisation. This book gathers the latest research from around the globe in the discussion of these fields and related issues.
