Joint Effort to Offer NGO Management Institute on South African Soil Realizes Success After three years of research, groundwork in the U.S. and South Africa, and several "trial runs" at the New School, the NGO Management Institute was transferred to South Africa in February 2000. This first NGO Management Institute held in South Africa, in conjunction with the University of the North, was successful in meeting two sets of goals: first, effectively transferring the management training program to a partner university in South Africa; second, through the redesign of the program specifically for delivery in South Africa, we successfully developed the skills and knowledge we targeted. This year's Institute was an exciting collaborative effort planned and orchestrated on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean, tapping into all the frontiers of technology at our disposal.

International Public and NGO Management The course focuses on how international public and non-governmental organizations manage three key functions: regime creation, mobilization of information and norm enforcement. These organizations are examined from a management perspective in terms of the three functions, through specific case studies. Regime creation involves processes of multilateral negotiation to reach systematic agreements to deal with specific issues in which non-governmental organizations play an increasing role. Norm enforcement includes the use of such tools as reporting, observation, dispute resolution and good offices to implement the norms included in regimes, where the role of non-governmental organizations like Amnesty international are central. Mobilization of information involves the use of data collection, analysis and dissemination to produce a neutral, credible basis for international commerce and development of new regimes.

BOND: A Long-term Strategy for NGO Learning BOND is the "British Overseas NGOs for Development" The long-term strategy for NGO leaders will move BOND gradually away from direct provision towards co-ordination and development of wider learning opportunities in order to ensure effective and sustainable response to NGO needs in the long-term. BOND realizes the value of informal networking opportunities and access to information as crucial parts of learning. So BOND's new strategy covers learning as a whole, and not just formal training. Many NGOs would like support in institutionalising learning -how to convert what an individual learns into lessons from which the whole organisation can benefit. And many interviewees saw the need to adapt to change effectively (increasingly important in the fast changing world).

Management of NGOs In recent years, non-governmental organizations have vastly increased in number and scope. They are increasingly influential in communities and grassroots activities, in policy making, planning and implementation. In today's highly competitive environment of limited resources for the public sector, effective leaders and creative management are crucial. This workshop addresses the current role of NGOs in development and challenges NGO leaders in their efforts to build their organizational capacity.

Monitoring and Evaluation for Successful Programmes and Projects Successful program and project planning and implementation requires that managers have access to relevant and timely information to support effective decision making. The challenge is to develop practical systems and procedures which are understood by, and have the support of, the key decision-makers. To achieve this outcome, information systems need to be developed within the context of (a) the institutional and organisational framework; (b) resource and capacity constraints; (c) project and program objectives; and (d) community needs and cultural contexts.
