“Responding to development effectiveness in the global South” is a joint effort by the One World Trust and World Vision to identify some of the common principles that drive southern effectiveness through self-regulation, the key characteristics of institutional design, and specific drivers and challenges. It is a follow up to an earlier joint OWT and World Vision paper that explored the international and northern national level self-regulation initiatives for development and humanitarian relief NGOs. The authors Jeannet Lingán, Thomas Palmer (OWT), Amy Cavender and Beris Gwynne (World Vision) seek to provide valuable and timely input into the debate on how development effectiveness is understood and how self-regulation is being used to strengthen the legitimacy and performance of NGOs and CSOs in the South.

This is exactly the kind of documents we need to promote a civil human society. The difficulty as always is getting the youth to care at all.
