Contrasting the performance of NGOs in Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) to their counterparts in West Africa, the author brings to light the important role of the environment and the context within which NGOs have evolved and developed... with compelling arguments and examples, the reader is persuaded to consider a possible new world where Africa is supported to build states, markets and truly indigenous organization. Highly recommended -- it will keep you interested up to the last page."
