Which End of the Telescope? Chapter 8. Turning INGOs Upside Down ConclusionReviewsGibson, a researcher and activist in international development, describes how to make aid agencies work, arguing that the problems in international nongovernmental organizations (INGOs) are due to a disconnect between the lives of people they serve and the industry. He examines the origin and growth of the industry, what drives it, and the challenges it faces, then insights that can be gained from local experience and knowledge, how they could lead to a restructuring of the operations in international nongovernmental organizations, implications for the structure of organizations, and what can be learned from organizations that have adopted different forms that focus more on learning and action. -- Annotation (c)2019 * (protoview.com) * Terry Gibson uses his expertise and knowledge to achieve the objectives of providing a critical analysis of INGOs and proposing a radical agenda of how they can be transformed. The book raises critical questions. It answers them using both academic theory and empirical literature, as well as examples from the author's own experience... The book is thus of interest for any third sector theorist and practitioner concerned about the role of INGOs, their effectiveness and accountability.
