Abstract

This paper proposes to assess whether Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), in the Tunisian context, are implementing principles of good governance and good management. Using a questionnaire to conduct the survey, the empirical results, obtained from 27NGOs, revealed that “the application of accountability” and “the mission implementation” were the most relevant variables, that characterized governance and management in Tunisian NGOs. Further, the cross sectional regression indicated that the governance quality improved positively the management quality in the non-profit sector.
