This is a timely book, dealing squarely with the confidence crisis faced by many NGOs in the South and North.' \u003cbr\u003eLouk De La Rive Box, Director, European Centre for Development Policy Management, Maastricht\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSustainability is crucial for all institutions involved in international development. This work offers practical guidance on how to achieve it. There are three main kinds of sustainability and a section of the book is devoted to each: making the impact of the organization's work sustainable, ensuring continuity of funding, and making the organization itself sustainable to remain viable. Achieving all three creates a virtuous spiral. The book takes an organizational rather than a technical or impact-based approach to sustainability. It is based on extensive international research and offers many practical examples of sustainability and the difficult trade-offs involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Fowler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1853836109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781853836107\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.47h x 6.74w x 0.78d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2001 pg. 75","brand":"Alan Fowler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939018277119,"sku":"9781853836107","price":66.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b81226c5-19ca-4fa3-84d2-cc16bebaf2dc.jpg?v=1681439013","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-virtuous-spiral-alan-fowler-9781853836107","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
