Review:
"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
