bottom-center of each page; Microsoft Word file. Use
an informative title for the article. List all authors, in the form of first
name, middle initial, last name, followed by mailing address and email address.
Introduction Begin the article with a brief introductory
section for the topic being discussed.
Body The body of the article should express the
relevance of the topic to the NGO community and NGO operations. Points to
consider as you write your article: How does the issue relate to NGOs? What can
NGOs learn from the article? Does the article provide practical guidance to
NGOs? Does the article note sources of information (e.g. links) that can be
useful to NGOs?
Biography Include a brief
biography (25-50 words) with your submission.
