On May 6-8, 2005 the CEE Working Group on NGO Governance held its 6th working meeting, preparing a new supplement to the Handbook of NGO Governance. The Handbook, authored by Marilyn Wyatt and published by ECNL in 2004 is the first publication in the region addressing key concepts and issues of NGO governance.
Based on demands from not-for-profit organizations the Working Group now set out to elaborate a set of practical tools supplementing the Handbook to help ease the work of boards and leaders of NGOs.
The Working Group, formed in 2001, is an expert group that aims to promote good governance among not-for-profit organizations in the region. Its work has been primarily been supported by the Mott Foundation and the Trust for Civil Society in CEE.
