The 'health' of the non-profit sector: a case study analysis: draft report 2

This study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of what makes non-profit organisations (NPOs) 'healthy'. It attempts to do this by first commenting on specific organisational features that we initially felt were not substantively examined in the empirical literature on the NPO sector in South Africa. We further attempted to observe and anlyse these features from a limited sample of NPOs including networks or umbrella organisations, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and community-based organisations (CBOs).
