Business Outlook

Pros

International experience, opportunities to work with people from different places and cultures. A few very good professionals that make the good image of the NGO.

Cons

Politics are by far more important than performance and technical knowledge, as a consequence there is a weak leadership without strategic vision. Staff are territorial on relationships with project partners, stakeholders, organizations, private sector, gov etc- challenging to collaborate internally. It's an NGO but most people are more interested in their own gains than in nature conservation.
