ABSTRACT
Since 1997 I have worked at the Civil Society Development Foundation (CSDF), 1 in Hungary, where I have been executive director since 2001. The CSDF was established in 1994 as an independent capacity building organization to tackle problems related to the lack of professional management expertise within the booming NGO sector. It aims to strengthen non-profit organizations and enhance their effective and sustainable development, thus enabling them to mobilize citizens and fulfil their significant societal roles in Hungary and in Central and Eastern Europe.
