Main Points:

  • INGOs are under heavy criciticism
  • At the same time the biggest INGOs are managing huge budget, and  have a combined income of more than £1bn but are they power commisurate to their influence?
  • How can INGOs survive in the long term and face off the critiques of a "go beyond charity" approach?
  • How can INGOs relate with social innovation and social enterprise?
  • Will INGOs be able to remain relevant?
  • Will they survive without reiventing themselves?
