The aim of the subject is to enable students to understand both the theory and practice of Non-Government Organisations. Understanding NGOs begins with an analysis of the development of the NGO sector and an introduction to some frameworks for understanding NGOs. It moves on to describe the issues faced by NGOs as a result of their distinctive identity and relationship with a wide range of different stakeholders, and concludes with an examination of the key management functions of leadership and governance as they relate to NGOs. Students will develop skills in relating the theoretical perspectives and debates about NGOs, and civil society more broadly, will develop a comprehensive understanding of competing theoretical perspectives about NGOs? relationships with states other NGOs and municipalities, to identify key components of NGOs? organisational structure and management and, in light of these, develop strategies to enhance their (NGO) effectiveness in service delivery.
