About the Author
Douglas Kimemia has produced a tour de force on the development of the NGO sector in Kenya, their organizational culture, and their role in national development. With its extraordinary application of diverse organizational and sociological theories, this book reawakens scholarly interest in the place of civil society organizations in developing countries, including issues surrounding their funding sources, operational ethics, accountability, and regulatory frameworks. This is a must read for anyone interested in state–society relations, social enterprises, and sustainable development in Africa.

Nongovernmental Organization Culture and Ethics in Kenya provides a bold, lucid, unique, and riveting account of how organizational cultures of NGOs correlate with ethical practices. Kimemia has punctured popular myths about NGOs and non-profits being paragons of virtue, good governance, and accountability in Africa.
