Meaghan Smith, president and chief executive officer of Banyan Global contributed a chapter to Igniting the Power of Community: The Role of CBOs and NGOs in Global Public Health published by Springer. This book introduces readers to the pursuit and potential of community-based organizations and nongovernmental organizations (NGO) to transform global public health. At a time of enormous challenges–economic crises, social inequalities, environmental stressors, and emerging health threats–these organizations are driving change, often being the first to call attention to an issue and increasingly forging significant and sustainable solutions. Meaghan’s chapter, The Importance of Sustainability in International Public Health NGOs, focuses on social entrepreneurship and NGO sustainability. Click here to learn more.
