The best INGOs develop strong reputations quickly, sustain them indefinitely, and exercise real influence on policymaking. But they operate in a highly competitive environment, and will be on a fast track to losing their way if they come to be seen as no longer meeting real needs, remaining sharply focused, or being uncompromising in maintaining their independence and professionalism.
最好的INGO能快速建立强大的名誉，坚决地维护名誉，并在决策中产生真正的影响力。但它们运作于一个高度竞争的环境，如果被认为不再满足真正的需要、不再保持犀利的专注力，或不再毫不妥协地坚持独立性和专业化，它们就会很快成为明日黄花。
