Description
Learning and Forgetting in Development NGOs explores how development organisations learn from experience. Despite the emphasis on learning within NGOs, little is known about this phenomenon.
The book draws on theoretical approaches and empirical evidence to investigate organisational learning in development NGOs. It examines everyday practices and accounts of development practitioners to counteract "development amnesia".
This guide will be useful for students, scholars, and development practitioners interested in development management and organisational theory.
