On the basis of views gathered via personal interview or questionnaire from executives of 85 private voluntary organizations (PVO's) and from 17 A.I.D. officials, this study analyzes the key management problems facing PVO's. After outlining the factors which shape PVO management (U.S. public disinterest in development and in the work of PVO's, the burden felt by PVO's in complying with government regulations, the reactive nature of PVO leadership, and the geographical separation between PVO headquarters and field operations), the report discusses five major problem areas: institutional planning, financial planning, and the management of fund raising, human resources, and Board relations. It also reviews PVO's use of consulting services. A final section urges A.I.D. to adopt a more open and pluralistic approach in providing management support to PVO's. Specifically, A.I.D. should: buffer its assistance through an intermediary having credibility in the PVO community; tailor assistance to PVO sub-groups and particular problem areas; distinguish helping PVO's with management problems from training them to deal with A.I.D. procedures; design assistance to broaden PVO perspectives a

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
