Abstract

Our research took us to the red dirt and bustling streets of Uganda. There we sought to understand how non-governmental organizations behave. We were interested in understanding the coordination behavior of NGOs in Uganda and India. With the on-site mentorship of Professor Daniel Nielson, we conducted a randomized controlled trial in the field that involved randomly assigning a subset of NGOs in our sample the ability to use an online NGO project mapping tool that we generated (to view, see: http://ngocoordinationug.tumblr.com/).
