This event has been cancelled but will hopefully be rescheduled in the near future.
Part of the event series, Sussex Development Lectures.
Brian Pratt, Executive Director and Head of Research at International NGO Training and Research Centre (INTRAC).
This event will be followed by a drinks reception.
About the lecture
This lecture will look at major global changes creating significant challenges for international NGOs, and it will ask how international NGOs might adapt to meet these challenges. Dr Pratt will propose an alternative framework for understanding civil society which could provide a new set of objectives for international NGOs who otherwise, he contends, risk finding themselves increasingly marginal to international development.
