This paper explores the nature of organizational strengthening, the organizational implications for European NGOs wishing to strengthen Southern partner NGOs and the pressing organizational strengthening needs which European NGOs themselves have. The paper concludes that European NGOs through their donor role are not in the best position to actually implement the organizational support themselves and that their primary role is to be effective funders of the process, not directing the process itself. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
