NGOs and the Global Financial Crisis

The global financial crisis impacts on all NGOs - big and small, urban and rural, local and international.

For some NGOs the impact is immediate, for others the real impact will only be known in months to come.

The crisis is once again highlighting the need for NGOs to review their funding and sustainability models.
