Description

The INGO Problem: Power, Privilege, and Renewal International non-governmental organisations (INGOs) have long dominated the civil society landscape, but their influence is now under threat. As challenges such as sexual exploitation scandals and accusations of white-saviourism mount, there is a growing demand to rebalance power and resources towards local actors. This book explores these challenges, drawing on the author's personal experience and the stories of leaders across the global civil society sector. The INGO Problem delves into difficult issues around race and power, and offers ideas for new systems of accountability, risk, funding, governance, and more. Building on the work of the RINGO Project, a systems-change endeavour to "Reimagine the INGO", this book provides a timely and thought-provoking analysis of the future of global civil society.
