MSc NGO Management Class 2000/ 2001
What NGOs Are by Leah Hibbin
From all four corners, near and far,
We came to learn just what NGOs are,
Of Korten's Fourth and Korten's First,
Of What's Best Practice and what is worst,
We learnt of BRAC and of Proshika,
And the rule of the Charismatic Leader,
From David, our guru, an NGO Star,
But we still haven't heard him play his guitar,
And Hakan, it has to be said, is just great,
His seminars always turn into debates,
And without Jane, well what would we do?
Who else can tell us what's up and what's new?!
So we've searched the texts from A to Z
In search of 'Accountability',
It still eludes us, yet still we chase
Gold medallists all in the NGO race,
And we're Learning for Leverage, we're going to go far,
But please, just don't ask us what NGOs are!
