Students will describe the practical challenges and philosophical dilemmas faced by NGOs operating in low- and middle-income countries, and basic concepts in the administration of global health programs. Simulation exercises will allow students to experience and analyze real-world scenarios faced by NGO managers and leaders. The first half of the course will focus on the role of NGOs in the health sector, situating a manager’s responsibilities in the broader context of the development and humanitarian environment. The second half will focus on the internal workings of an NGO and the day-to-day challenges of managing strategy, finances, human resources, and accountability.
