Networked Spaces of INGOs
Helen Yanacopulos · Palgrave Macmillan UK eBooks · 2015
For INGOs, working within networked spaces is not a recent idea. They have been building their own networks both internally, with their southern partners, and externally, with other INGOs and development actors, since their inception. And, with respect to engagement, advocacy and activism, working with others makes a great deal of sense — the higher the number of partners, the greater the reach of their message. Information and communication technologies have dramatically impacted the work of INGOs; they have transformed INGO campaigning, opening up new political spaces to engage with publics, as well as new spaces for collaborations with other groups. Such networked spaces offer all organisations vast opportunities, but with these come vast problems, too. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
