Edwards (director, Ford Foundation's Governance and Civil Society Unit) and Fowler (co-founder, NGO Training and Research Center) present a reader on research into the management of non-governmental development organizations (a subset of non-profit organizations). Originally published between 1992 and 2000, 30 chapters look at how top NGDO management can properly mobilize their organization and its resources to achieve organizational goals. The major themes of the work are visions, values, and roles; strategy, scaling-up and advocacy; managing growth and change; strengthening governance and accountability; organizing for good development practice; methods of measuring achievement; becoming a learning organization; dealing with gender; and human resource management.
