Summary:

The INGO Problem by Deborah Doane offers a critical examination of the international non-governmental organization (INGO) landscape, highlighting the structural inequities ingrained in the system. Drawing from her extensive experience in civil society and philanthropy, Doane critiques the power dynamics, governance structures, and funding mechanisms that hinder the effectiveness of INGOs in fostering equitable global development. She advocates for a radical reimagining of the role of INGOs, emphasizing the importance of empowering local civil society groups as key development actors. The book is intended for leaders, boards, and stakeholders within the INGO sector, aiming to provoke necessary conversations and drive systemic change. Generated by AI.
