'The Effective Management of an NGO' partly funded through the ACF Programme
'The Effective Management of an NGO' is an online course designed to assist Voluntary Organisations, executives and staff in meeting the challenges of
managing an organisation. It aims at improving their capacity to increase their social impact, achieve their goals and be sustainable over time.
The course is free of charge, designed as a self-learn programme, where users can log in and follow the course at their own pace.
The programme provides details of core concepts and theories that apply and most importantly it offers a pragmatic perspective for their implementation
within the NGO environment.
