Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
At a time of rapid global change, non-governmental organizations involved in international development (NGDOs) are confronted with demands to simultaneously increase the scale of their impact, diversify their activities, respond to long-term humanitarian crises and improve their performance. Striking a Balance provides a practical guide to how NGDOs can better respond to these expectations.br /Written for NGDO leaders, managers, donors, and those with an academic interest, the book summarises the major tasks of sustainable people-centred development, describing five factors which influence effectiveness. These are: suitable organisational design; competent leadership and human resources; appropriate external relationships; mobilisation of high quality finance; and the measurement of performance coupled to 'learning for leverage'. Details are given of the capacities needed in each area and how they can be assessed and improved.br /Effectiveness calls for NGDOs which retain their non-profit values, establish the right type of professionalism, manage dilemmas and make difficult choices which continually reflect the priorities, rights and needs of those who give them legitimacy: people who are poor and marginalised. This book provides a reference of current and future practices which will help NGDOs to do so.

This is a FANTASTIC reference for those interested in NGO Management, or for those starting up their own NGOs. Fowler does an excellent job of going step-by-step through the process of organizational development in these complex organizations.
