Overview

The Non-Governmental sector has played a noble role in providing needed support following market failure and government failure all over the world. In developing countries and Africa in particular, this sector has become an important arm of economic development and civic engagement. However, there is growing suspicion, accompanied by increased evidence, that these organizations have been tolerating corrupt practices, such as lack of accountability and transparency, nepotism, and favoritism in their governing systems and finances. Douglas Kimemia’s, Nongovernmental Organization Culture and Ethics in Kenya focuses on the relationship between the intersection of corruption and organizational culture among NGOs in Kenya. Kimemia stresses that NGOs should model strong culture to increase confidence among the various organizational stakeholders to showcase high integrity, transparency, and sound governance that does not tolerate any corrupt practices This book offers solutions to strengthen the existing culture within NGOs and examines how organizational culture impacts engagement in corrupt practices.
