Alliance Magazine has started its first online discussion on the subject of Civil Society vs Markets – a False Dichotomy? The forum aims to give people a venue to voice different perspectives on the issue of whether market concepts can increase the effectiveness of civil society. Tris Lumley, Head of Strategy at New Philanthropy Capital and David Bonbright, the Founder and CEO of Keystone start off the debate with 2 articles on the subject. If you are interested you can also air your view on the Alliance website! Alliance hopes the discussion will help to reconcile views on both ends of the spectrum and aid better understanding of whether a CSO’s work is best assessed by fully taking into account the organisation’s overall purpose or mission.
