ABSTRACT
Non-governmental organizations (NGO) have gained considerable attention as vehicles of change. The attributes of NGOs that make them more effective in development than government agencies include management flexibility, a greater responsiveness to local needs and committed leadership. NGOs also evolve from a harnessing of existing action groups by outside leadership to further strengthen them and consolidate the position of women. NGOs mix and match their foci, styles and strategies of functioning to suit each situation. There are many ways to evaluate the work of NGOs targeting women. Management feasibility is the effectiveness of the process of implementation within the internal and external constraints of NGOs' operations. The outcome of NGO operations will reflect several interactive processes: between the organization and its environment, between the leadership and the staff, between the staff and the clients and among the clients themselves.
