Abstract

Like other modern constitutions, our supreme law serves two main purposes: it guarantees certain human rights and it structures, empowers and limits the state.

Abstract

The Covid-19 lockdown is a real test of an NGO’s ability to survive the worst a pandemic can throw at its projects, staff and beneficiaries. An NGO’s governance structures, reserves, leadership, administrative systems and its professionalism are equally tested. Such an emergency is a true measure of the health of an organisation: the relationship it has with its staff, beneficiaries, donors and the community that supports it. It is also a test of how effectively an organisation has invested the corporate social investment (CSI) it has received over many years.
Key ideas: Covid-19; NGOs; corporate social investment
