The task environment of NGOs is changing rapidly and significantly, making new demands on their management and leadership. This Companiondiscusses the complexities involved. It illustrates how NGOs can maintain performance and remain agile amid increasing uncertainties.

'Everyone needs a good companion, and this book will be of enormous help to NGOs as they navigate through the contradictory pressures of international development and social change. Fowler and Malunga have drawn together a wonderful collection of insights and experiences that should be on every manager's desk.' Michael Edwards, Distinguished Senior Fellow, Demos'This book makes a critical contribution to the development literature on the changing demands, dilemmas and creative responses of NGOs in a rapidly evolving world system. It is both timely and thought provoking.' Prof. Margaret Kroma, Program Manager, Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research'This book is essential reading, especially for those who perceive development and NGO management as avenues for enabling individuals, groups, organizations and communities to learn to develop new ways of thinking in order to build a better history for themselves and the world.' Mosi Kisare, Executive Director and facilitator at the EASUN Centre for Organizational Learning, Arusha, Tanzania'Managers and practitioners will go a long way before they find a more useful compendium of knowledge and experience. For those seeking to understand NGOs, here is the one-stop shop you have been looking for.'
