Prisoners of Hope explores the successful drive for positive change and the evolving role of U.S.-based NGOs within the global movement for justice and sustainability. How can these organizations amplify the role of local civil society and empower leaders in complex environments? What steps must they take to remain relevant in cross-border partnerships? Through fresh insights, personal anecdotes, and collective wisdom, the book offers a nuanced analysis of the challenges and opportunities facing U.S. NGOs. While these organizations have transformed millions of lives through human-centered development and humanitarian response, they must adapt-shifting power to local actors and redefining their accountability to donors. The author reflects on the power of collective advocacy, highlighting lessons from their leadership of InterAction. Standalone chapters offer valuable resources for students and practitioners. Key topics include advocacy and pluralism (Building a Voice); the history and role of NGOs (An Appropriate Role); localization (Going Local); advancing the SDGs (Global Goals and Hurdles); humanitarian response (Humanitarian Action); risk management and accountability (Effective Change Agents); leading NGOs and coalitions (NGO Leadership); and future recommendations (A Relevant Future). The true heroes of our world-those who improve human welfare or save lives-are often from impacted communities. With the right tools, institutional support, and commitment there is no shortage of partners to advance positive change. Prisoners of Hope celebrates humanity's collective efforts to build a better world. It honors grassroots organizations striving for justice and sustainability, affirming their essential role in shaping a more just, equitable, and sustainable future.
