In addition, the Center will offer links to organizations around the world offering materials, services and information aimed at promoting accountability and improving the performance of NGO boards. So whether you're a large established institution or a small NGO just starting out, you'll find a wealth of information in this site to strengthen your organization and help your board govern efficiently, effectively, and responsibly.
