Book Synopsis
By focusing on one particular type of NGO - those organized to help prevent the spread and transmission of HIV in Kenya - Megan Hershey interrogates the ways NGOs achieve (or fail to achieve) their planned outcomes. Along the way, she examines the slippery slope that is often used to define ""success"".

Trade Review
“In vivid detail, Hershey provides the rare, truly nuanced view of development interventions. She argues that small, local NGOs can be successful emissaries of HIV/AIDS programming, even while they fail to achieve the true participatory development for which such NGOs are most lauded. A must-read for researchers interested in the on-the-ground politics of development program implementation.”
