How CBI Helps Non-Governmental Organizations
Whether tackling a controversial local issue, advocating for national policy, or managing internal operations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) sometimes find themselves inadequately resourced to achieve their desired outcomes. Without experience in designing complex public processes, NGOs often meet challenges when partnering with other groups to promote action across boundaries and achieve specific goals.
