Context

outcome focus and think long-term impact. As a consequence, NGOs are currently under pressure to prove themselves by increasing their organizational effectiveness, and accountability to
showcase their impact on society. Good governance is the one method that helps NGOs to strengthen their internal systems and processes in their organization. At the centre of good
