Nonviolent Communication (NVC) for NGOs
3. Why does NVC matter?
NGOs operate in complex, high-stakes environments where communication can make or break relationships. NVC provides a structured way to:
- Prevent misunderstandings that lead to tensions and inefficiencies.
- Strengthen partnerships by fostering open, honest, and respectful interactions.
- Empower staff and community members to express their needs and concerns effectively.
- Promote emotional resilience and well-being within your team.
By practicing NVC, NGOs create a culture of collaboration, reducing resistance and increasing the impact of their work.
