Abstract title: Corporate Governance for NGOs?
Author: Mick Moore and Sheelagh Stewart
Issue: Vol. 8 Number 3, 1998

Official aid funding for the development NGO sector grew fast in the late 1980s and early 1990s. These halcyon days are over. Thinkers within the NGO community are concerned with how to adapt to the end of the funding boom, and to correct its adverse effects. However, in spite of many calls to reorganise, re-think, and professionalise, one major set of issues has been largely ignored: the scope for introducing collective self-regulation of the organisational structure and procedures of NGOs in developing countries. The authors argue that this could make a major contribution to solving several problems currently faced by NGOs.
