Lessons on Strengthening RPOs in Asia

This publication represents a record of the past three and a half years of striving to come to terms with the issues and challenges involved in building self-sustaining organizations of the poor. It is also our contribution to the effort–perhaps still nascent and little appreciated-to improve development support by focusing on the people and the groups that constitute the beneficiaries of our projects.

Founded in 1979, ANGOC is a regional association of national and regional networks of civil society organizations (CSOs) in Asia, actively engaged in food security, agrarian reform, sustainable agriculture, participatory governance, and rural development.
