It’s entitled “<i>Policymaking in the Global Context: Training Students to Build Effective Strategic Partnerships with Nongovernmental
Organizations” </i>and you can access it here: <a href="http://www.naspaa.org/JPAEMessenger/Article/VOL21-3/10_Balboa%20Deloffe.pdf">

It also uses NASPAA data
to illustrate how few MPA/MPP programs actually do focus on NGOs into their core or elective courses, despite the growing number of faculty with research focus on private actors. The discussion draws heavily from the spheres of influence capacity framework
I proposed in World Development last year, and Maryam’s detailed understanding of the actors responding to the Ebola outbreak.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Maryam also wrote about the article in the prestigious International Relations Blog Duck of Minerva:
