The paper argues for nonprofit making corporations that strive to increase resilience against economic challenges through human resource development and strategic training by involving the management in various sections of the human resource management activities. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) operating in an open environment, depend upon external sources for funds and resources to perform robustly. Changes in external environment and internal deficiencies lead to face adverse impacts and collapse of organizations. Very few organizations manage to recover from losses, take advantage from situations and evolve stronger than before. Resilience provides strength to NGOs and help obtain positive future prospects under crisis situations. The study aims to enhance understanding of dynamics and nature of resilience of NGOs. It empirically investigates the effect of factors including transformational leadership that promotes organizational learning, management development, ethics training, systems thinking and social capital and political instability as an external factor on resilience of NGOs. Data have been collected from sample of 200 managerial level employees working in NGOs of Muscat, Oman. The research findings conclude that transformational leadership has a significant positive effect on organizational resilience; whereas, the indirect effect of transformational leadership in the presence of organizational learning as mediator is insignificant, thus exhibits insignificant mediation.

Many organizations also participate in the actual administration of conservation areas, assisting in the promotion of community or individual action, as well as campaigning for more government and corporate sector accountability. Present Article focuses on effectiveness of nongovernmental organizations in rural growth through a case study directed on VOSARD (Voluntary Organization for Social Action and Rural Development), a NGO situated in Idukki district, Kerala. Major rural development programmes undertaken by the NGOs in their areas included community development programmes, agricultural programmes, human resource management and development activities, micro financing, industrial and trade programmes.

The growth in number and size of non-governmental organizations in Kenya has been met with a growing concern about identifying their achievements and effectiveness of their projects. The struggle by majority of NGOs account for their work and demonstrate real results continues to taint their image as development change agents to various stakeholders. One way organizations can improve effectiveness of their interventions is by strengthening their monitoring and evaluation systems. This study sought to determine the influence of monitoring and evaluation systems on performance of non-governmental based maternal health projects in Bungoma South Sub-County, Kenya. Specific objectives were to: determine how monitoring and evaluation plans, human Resource capacity, nature of monitoring and evaluation information systems adopted, and stakeholder participation in monitoring and evaluation influence performance of nongovernmental maternal health projects in Bungoma South Sub-County. A descriptive survey design and correlation design was employed. With a target population of 101 respondents, a census was conducted on all respondents involved in implementation of maternal health projects from the three non-governmental organizations (AA, STC, and CREADIS). Data was collected through questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics. A fairly strong correlation of 0.607, 0.530, 0.533 and -0.489 for monitoring and evaluation plans, human resource capacity, nature of information system adopted, and stakeholder participation respectively and performance of maternal health projects. The regression analysis indicated that, taking all the independent variables at a constant zero, performance of maternal health projects was 4.087. The study recommends alignment of staff job descriptions with their M&E plans, increase the number of M&E training, conduct Routine Data Quality Assessment to detect areas of difficulties to staff, invest in Information and Communication Technology, and manage stakeholders’ involvement in Monitoring and Evaluation in order to achieve quality data.
