NGOs at the Table: Strategies for Influencing Policy in Areas of Conflict

This book examines the issues surrounding the interaction of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) with policymakers as they seek to affect policy outcomes in conflict situations.

As part of their policy and evaluation work, INCORE sought to chart the growth in number, size, effect and influence of NGOs over the past few decades. This book examines why and how NGOs seek to influence policy and the challenges they face in terms of resources and retaining independence while engaging with policymakers on crucial issues. It examines the constraints faced in trying to penetrate the governmental process and discusses how these obstacles may be overcome. The book also includes analysis and reflections by a variety of experienced policymakers and academics working in the field.
