Every organisation begins with a reason, though not every founder stops long enough to ask what that reason really is. Jude Ilo sets out to help those of us in Africa’s civil society space build our organisations on something stronger than good intentions. What struck me most as I read his latest effort, Building on Solid Ground: Primer on Resilience and Sustainability of CSOs in Africa, was how clear and accessible it is. It felt like sitting across from a professor who breaks things down the way they actually work on the ground. The book doesn’t shy away from the real issues that civil society organisations (CSOs) are faced with, including leadership, people management, accountability, and sustainability.
