During a recent interview for a radio programme, I was asked what I thought the future international NGO would look like. NGOs are so diverse in objectives and strategy that the question is a bit broad to answer sensibly, but, on reflection, the kind of NGO I would like to be a part of in 10 years' time would look a lot like Peace Brigades International (PBI), whose conference on defending environment and land rights took place in London on Monday.
