Managing an NGO

Effective management of an NGO will depend upon a number of factors:

A clear mission statement which is understood and agreed by all staff and volunteers

A management structure with clear understanding and acceptance of each person's role and responsibilities

Detailed project plans (so that everyone knows what is to be done and when)

Co-operation of management and staff in carrying out the NGO's work

Effective safety procedures for field work to protect staff, volunteers and service users
