      Akbar, Noor (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2010-05-28)
      The over all image of Non-governmental Organizations (NGO) is not very positive in Pakistan, particularly in rural tribal areas.

In such non-favorable working environment NGOs evolve different communication/implementation strategies. The research ...
