More About the Study Group
The Study Group on NGOs and Development meets biweekly to consider, discuss and debate issues related to emerging paradigms in development, evolving roles of NGOs, and specific management, leadership and governance challenges. The study group brings together interested students, practitioners dealing with these questions in real time, and academics investigating similar questions. The goal is to create a climate for genuine discussion and lively exchange, in which all participants come to the table with a commitment to share, listen and reflect. The study group is a space for building relationships, exchanging ideas and connecting real-world challenges to scholarly study of NGOs and their role in development. Guests will serve as resource people and catalysts of discussion.
