Making a Difference

As government budgets in the North are cut and natural and social disasters mount up around the world, more areas are put beyond the reach of the official aid agencies. More and more is coming to depend on the work of NGOs in the field, and on the effective coordination of their efforts to bring relief. This book looks in detail at the part the non-government sector has been playing in the international relief system. A series of detailed studies drawn mainly from recent disaster areas, shows how dependent relief now is on NGOs. They also reveal ways in which NGOs can work better together, both at the international level and on the ground, to make the most of the resources they can bring to meet the new needs which are certain to arise.Edwards, Michael is the author of 'Making a Difference' with ISBN 9781853831447 and ISBN 1853831441.
