Managing cross-border cooperation between voluntary organizations in Ireland
Abstract
The voluntary nonprofit sector in Ireland has grown significantly in
recent years. A related trend has been the growth of cross-border (in
effect, transnational) cooperation between voluntary organizations
based in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. However, this
development has posed a set of management issues in terms of
structure, forms of governance and decision making, day-to-day project
management, and sustainability. Cross-border work has also meant that
voluntary bodies confront a distinctive set of barriers in relation to
political and ethnic conflict, social and cultural attitudes, and
practical delivery. Strengthening of cooperation across borders will
require greater planning, mainstream funding, focused management,
diversification of services, and realistic expectations.
