This is a timely book, dealing squarely with the confidence crisis faced by many NGOs in the South and North.' \u003cbr\u003eLouk De La Rive Box, Director, European Centre for Development Policy Management, Maastricht\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSustainability is crucial for all institutions involved in international development. This work offers practical guidance on how to achieve it. There are three main kinds of sustainability and a section of the book is devoted to each: making the impact of the organization's work sustainable, ensuring continuity of funding, and making the organization itself sustainable to remain viable. Achieving all three creates a virtuous spiral. The book takes an organizational rather than a technical or impact-based approach to sustainability. It is based on extensive international research and offers many practical examples of sustainability and the difficult trade-offs involved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46497116455063,"sku":"9781138177406","price":12867.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138177406.webp?v=1769179526","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-virtuous-spiral-a-guide-to-sustainability-for-ngos-in-international-development-9781138177406","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
