Whether they like it or not, relief and development NGOs are in the midst of a revolution. Faced with the challenge of managing their growing influence in international politics, these organizations are making operational decisions that will determine their survival. Those that find themselves hampered by the increased politicization of aid and demands on their accountability; those that struggle to define their work in a world that has only recently begun to recognize their authority, will fail to meet their goals. Those that are committed to flexibility, learning new technologies and rethinking their strategies and structure will see their organizations succeed. Author Paul Ronalds brings his experience as Deputy CEO of World Vision Australia to other NGO managers in ""The Change Imperative"", guiding them through the challenges they must overcome to maintain effectiveness in the 21st century. He covers the practical issues leaders are facing in areas such as advocacy, fundraising, technology, financing and human resources, but also the more ambiguous issues: legitimacy, state sovereignty, and political analysis. Ronald's book is a must-have for both students and managers pursuing influential careers in charitable, development and aid organizations.

"At last, we have an insider's perspective on what could be done if the will is there. In the 21st Century, an NGO's failure to regenerate will not be for want of the clear analysis and practical advice that this book provides." --Alan Fowler, International Institute of Social Studies, Erasmus University
"Concisely and convincingly makes the case for fundamental change in the way civil society organizes itself to meet the challenges of the 21st Century." -- Robert Glasser, Secretary General, CARE International
"As a leader in one of the large lumbering INGOs Paul is aiming at, I find his articulation and analysis of both the influence we have and the challenges we face very real and insightful. It's a book that will help INGO leaders reflect and make their organizations more effective." --Penny Lawrence, International Programmes Director, Oxfam GB
"An incisive and clear-headed analysis for any NGO leader wanting to understand the rising trajectory of NGOs over the last twenty years, the trends affecting NGOs in the coming decades and what needs to be done to ensure that NGOs remain relevant to their mission." --Marc Purcell, Executive Director, Australian Council for International Development
"Leaders of INGOs have only brief organizational history and sparse literature to guide them into the future. I am grateful to Paul Ronalds for adding to the store of knowledge on this topic and believe his work will prove useful in helping INGOs to remain relevant and effective." -- Ian Wishart, CEO, Plan International Australia
