ABSTRACT:
A national level NGO, Aurat Publication and Information Service Foundation was established in 1986 to work for women’s empowerment. In 1995, Aurat Foundation began to transform itself from a small to a medium sized organization with an increasing employee body, national level projects, and an expanding geographical outreach. However, Aurat Foundation was not able to adapt its operational systems to this organizational growth. This case looks at how Nigar Ahmed, Executive Director Aurat Foundation, after facing organizational problems for a number of years due to the organization’s growth, called in a consultant to prepare an LFA for structural reorganization. The views of three parties – Aurat Foundation staff, the Chief Executive, and Marion Mueller are presented with regards to the changes in Aurat Foundation.
