Abstract

This research explores the professional capabilities that Taiwanese non-governmental organisation (NGO) workers require if they are to manage sustainable development in international development collaborations. With strong political emphasis on Sustainable Development Goals and managing for sustainable development results, NGOs are increasingly focusing on enhancing their workers’ capabilities to realise sustainable development at the grassroots level. This empirical case study applies the realist–capability approach and discovers that sustainable development managers are capable of leveraging a layered, dynamic, and open system to support local leadership and target groups. 12 professional capabilities that leverage the system are accordingly developed.
