Chapter Chapter 1 in Value-driven Management for International Development and Aid Projects, 2024, pp 3-9 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter introduces the critical role of International Non-Governmental Organizations (INGOs) in helping vulnerable populations, using the personal story of a child Palestinian refugee to highlight the complexities of aid distribution. It details the evolution and functions of INGOs, emphasizing their humanitarian missions and disaster recovery. The chapter examines these organizations’ managerial and political challenges, especially in crisis areas like the Middle East, and critiques traditional aid approaches. It advocates for a value-driven, performance-oriented project management model to enhance the sustainability and effectiveness of aid projects. The chapter sets the stage for the book’s exploration of strategies to improve the management and impact of International Development and Aid Projects (IDAPs).
