NGOs and Lifeworlds in Africa

<p> Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have become ubiquitous in the development sector in Africa and attracting more academic attention. However the fact that NGOs are an integral part of the everyday lives of men and women on the continent has been overlooked thus far.

Its contributions are immersed in the pasts presents and futures of personal encounters memories decision-making and politics.</p>
