Pros

Brand, people know you, children's work is an easy sell. Links with Government to influence, glossy publications, good communications and PR. Charismatic and aprpoachable CEO - excellent focus on equity....just needs to be understood in the field.

Cons

Highly political internally - watch your back. Unclear how decisions are made, bureacracy is as bad as any UN agency and some favouristim where jobs are concerned. Often short term thinking for political gains and people's careers / next job rather than long term sustainable development. Work often projectised and often inward looking processes and procedures with little incentive to work with others.If only some donors could see how the money is spent and pressure to spend with fewer questions on quality of programmes or really being programem driven. Some development tourism going on. Need more incentive and reward creativity, innovation. leadership and responsibility and risk and less reward to the bureaucrats who run the show.
