Saving the Environment in Sub-Saharan Africa

This book describes how NGOs' efforts to promote sustainable development are affected by their funding, management strategies, and relationships with government, communities, and other NGOs. The authors explore implications for theory and offer suggestions for increasing NGO effectiveness.

Focus on environmental nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in sub-Saharan Africa, and draw upon their in-depth study of environmental NGOs in Cameroon . this book is geared to both inform scholars and offer practical guidance to NGOs and other development practitioners . This is reflected in both the structure and language of the book, and the way the authors isolate theoretical discussions into specific sections so that they can be accessed or avoided depending on the readers needs.
