Description of the Organization

The NGO Management Association (NMA) is registered in Switzerland as a non-profit organisation. Behind NMA is a group of people who are active in development cooperation and humanitarian aid, as well as continuing education in these fields.

The aim of NMA is to help NGOs in the North and South to sustainably improve their management knowledge and skills so that they can even more effectively benefit their communities. To this end, we have been running NGO Manager, a website and newsletter with selected free management tools for NGOs, on a voluntary basis since 2001. We run management courses for NGOs and other non-profit organisations and associations. In 2007, we successfully ran our first courses in Vietnam, Cambodia and Nepal, and in 2008, our first courses in  Switzerland.

Description of the Organization

The Institute for Environmental and Sustainability Communication was founded in 1996. Today, it is part of the Faculty of Environmental Technology at the Leuphana University of Lüneburg. The institute's academic staff carries out research, teaching, and knowledge-transfer activities related to environment and sustainability communication. Scientific analysis, theory elaboration, and concept development are the key components of all research projects carried out at this institute. Their objective is to promote the development of competencies at the individual, institutional, and collective levels in order to create a future based on the principle of sustainability. In the autumn of 2005, this institute was awarded the UNESCO Chair in Higher Education for Sustainable Development. The Chair's goal is to integrate the principle of sustainability into teaching activities and strengthen the institute's international orientation by establishing new cooperative ventures.
