The Crowley Institute is, a kind of, ‘thinking and sharing idea‘ – directed by James Crowley, and often working with a range of talented people (volunteers), especially Morgana Ryan (now based in Melbourne) as well the committed team at Accenture Development Partnerships. Our aim is to help international NGOs and the business community be more effective contributors to the international development and humanitarian world.

Our publications are based on research (primary & secondary) – though significantly on our practical experience in the sector since 2005, from a range of ‘strategic planning’ and ‘organisation strengthening’ assignments with several large international NGOs – such as ActionAid, Plan International, AMREF, WorldVision, Care International, IFRC, Catholic Relief Services (CRS), Oxfam, Voluntary Relief Services (VSO), Traidlinks, Action Against Hunger (ACF). Our first two books are a direct result of this work: Building a Better International NGO, published in 2013; and Navigating Change for International NGOs in 2017: (Both by Lynne Rienner Publishers (Kumarian Press) in the USA)
