“This is a very timely and welcome piece of work by Helen Yanacopolus … . In addition to her academic studies, the author brings a substantial wealth of personal experience in the workings of international development non-governmental (INGO) sector in Canada and the U.K. … this book will be both relevant and useful to scholars and practitioners alike. … it is a very welcome analysis and summation of current knowledge of the field.” (Lawrence S. Cumming, Voluntas, Vol. 28, 2017)
'This is a timely book and splendid contribution to the current debates about the future role of NGOs. It exposes some of the brutal truths of running an NGO, pointing out the mismatch between their non-profit purposes and their daily corporate style management. It also stresses that there is a strong need for an honest dialogue about what NGOs are trying to achieve and how they go about doing that, because this is essential for securing a long term trust in the sector. The author demonstrates clearly that the current relationship NGOs have with the wider public is an outdated one and needs rehabilitation if it is to survive in a new and changed world.'
