The development industry is worth billions. International
non-governmental organizations (INGOs) have become an integral
component in international development and humanitarian response.
Yet as recent scandals at Save the Children and Oxfam have
highlighted, such organizations can overstep moral boundaries,
raising questions about the scale, power and role of INGOs. Are
they dedicated to continuous learning and self-improvement, or are
they development dinosaurs driven by their own need for survival
and by the political agendas of their paymasters? Drawing upon his
experience as an international development practitioner-one who has
worked with NGOs large and small, international and local, in over
40 countries-and drawing also upon his own academic research, Terry
Gibson addresses these questions head on. He combines large-scale
industry analysis with attention to the lives and worlds of the
people the aid industry aims to serve, and he demonstrates how to
overcome barriers between the two worlds and free flows of
learning, resources, and even political influences that might lead
to better outcomes. Making Aid Agencies Work is essential reading
for practitioners and researchers, as well as for anyone concerned
about the future of this vital area of human endeavour.
