Sustainable development of NGOs

非政府組織的永續發展

NGOs cannot be sustainable unless they have strategies, funding models and tactics that support the long-term opportunities for individuals and the groups themselves to thrive. It would be understandable that some would resist the concept that the bar should be set high - saying individuals and groups should thrive. But the work of sustainable development calls for nothing less. After offering some definitions of what it means to sustain, develop and thrive, the talk will discuss models of NGOs that create: fundraising models which are dependable, strategies which are reproducible, and tactics which are kind and graceful.

Examples will be drawn from Zambia, the US and China.

非政府組織若沒有經營策略、募款模式，以及足以提供個人及群體長期成長機會的戰略就無法永續。我們可以理解有人會排斥「目標必須設高」，意即個人和群體必須成長的概念。但是若要永續發展，這些都是不可避免的。在提出永續、發展和成長的一些定義後，我將談到非政府組織的模式，其可創造：可靠的募款模式、可複製的經營策略，以及既仁慈又優雅的戰略。

列舉尚比亞、美國和中國的範例。
