Success-driven managers need to engage in continuous learning. This involves reading, application, reflection and discussion. We at NDAS-Africa love to engage on what works well and adaptation of tools for local contexts. We suggest below some useful websites for material covering a variety of areas of NGO management expertise (from starting an NGO to writing funding proposals, to project management, to policy influencing, and microfinance). We trust you will find the links below useful. Please do suggest any great websites that could be added.
