Governance, Democracy and Conditionality: What Role for NGOs?

This first publication to address the issues of good governance and conditionality from the perspective of both Northern and Southern NGOs. It will be of interest to those engaged in the management of NGO programmes, policy-makers and those involved in lobbying and campaigning. It is based on papers and case studies from the INTRAC workshop in the Netherlands which brought participants together from both Northern and Southern NGOs, as well as bilateral and multilateral agencies, to reflect on the implications of this new policy agenda for NGOs. Case studies are included that draw on the experiences of NGOs in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and cover a wide range of issues concerning the role of NGOs in civil society, advocacy, legal reform and democracy movements.
