About This Textbook

Have you ever seen a problem and wanted to do something about it? Of course you have. The schools, police, government welfare offices, churches and families aren’t handling it. Others share your concerns and want to do something. That’s why you would start a nongovernmental organization, or NGO. This handbook will guide you through the steps of starting and operating an NGO. The online version includes several translations such as Arabic, Chinese, French, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.

Appropriateness in a Canadian context is certainly an issue of concern, given that ‘domestic’ examples, and web resources understandably center on the United States (publisher: US Department of State). Overall, however, the Handbook is sufficiently ge...„

This is a great handbook - however, I am finding it hard to imagine a course in which this would be appropriate, or actually useful for a class. Unless it is a more hands-on class dedicated to starting NGOs, or the students are tasked with a similar ...„
