Practise what you preach : is organisational democracy desirable for micro-development NGOs?
In this paper, the author argues that organisation democracy, whether among collectives or NGOs, is dependent on the organisation's external environment, the historical background of it founders and the abilities of its workers. She first provides an account of 'NGO-Lore' which contextualises the field of study and offers a brief literature review. The paper then provides the definition and workings of organisational democracy and considers its relevance to micro-development NGOs.
