Summary

Astonishingly, there have been very few studies and no books on NGO field workers. This book, looking at field workers in Bangladesh, provides excellent insights into this neglected field. The book examines four types of NGOs international, national, regional and small/local in a number of sample locations. It proposes that NGO field workers should be "movers and shakers", with a more active role in policy making and puts forward several recommendations for changes in the management and structure of NGOs in future.
