Although most nongovernmental organizations
(NGO鈥檚) recognize the importance of human resources for the
organisation's development, very few have a personnel policy,
namely, a set of specified procedures to attract competent

nongovernmental organisations, as well as the identification of
the main problems faced by nongovernmental organisations
