✦ Synopsis

NGO concerns to scale up their impact, and donor interests in their potential role in strengthening civil society, make it important to learn more about the ways in which NGOs promote membership organizations. Case study evidence is reviewed in an attempt to identify the factors which appear to contribute to successful outcomes. Some of these Ð the need to take account of existing institutions; to start slowly; to identify a clear core of mutually supporting activities; and to encourage the emergence of federal structures Ð relate to the strategies which NGOs themselves pursue. NGO structure and wider institutional relationships, are also found to exercise an important in¯uence.
