Denna uppsats syftar till att kartlägga två projekt inom två hjälporganisationer: Xola Educare i Contribution To Opportunities och Digniti Omnia i Svenska kyrkan. Studien visar hur projekten behandlar fem utvalda projektledande kunskapsområden: projektmål, intressenter, krav, tider och kommunikation. Vår frågeställning är: På vilket sätt tillämpas projektledningstekniker vid hantering av: projektmål, intressenter, krav, tider och kommunikation inom hjälporganisationers projekt? Vår utgångspunkt för denna studie är att det finns skillnader i hur nyetablerade och etablerade hjälporganisationer tillämpar kunskapsområden för planeringen av sina projekt. Studien utgår även ifrån att praktiken skiljer sig från hur den klassiska projektledningsläran beskriver de centrala delarna inom utvalda kunskapsområden. Studien har genomförts med en kvalitativ metod, med intervjuer och dokumentanalys som metod för datainsamling i syfte till att kartlägga projektens nuvarande struktur utifrån kunskapsområden i relation till tidigare forskning.  Tidigare forskning om projekt inom hjälporganisationer visar en trend om ineffektivitet och mindre lyckat resultat än framgångsrika projekt. Projektledarens kompetens och erfarenhet har visat sig spela en roll i detta. Projektledande kunskapsområden har i viss utsträckning anammats men har fortfarande en stor utvecklingspotential och behöver anpassas till den kontext som ideellt baserade hjälporganisationer lever i.  Kartläggningen i sin helhet visar att nyetablerade hjälporganisationer inte använder sig lika mycket av projektledande kunskapsområdena som en mer etablerad hjälporganisation gör. Att praktiken skiljer sig från teorin visar även kartläggningen genom brister i strukturerade metodiska tillvägagångssätt. Verkligheten överensstämmer inte alltid med teorin då individer är föränderliga och projekt är rörliga företeelser som behöver foga sig efter varandra och deras kontext. Kartläggningen och studiens resultat visar att båda projekten har formulerade projektmål i dokumentform. Delprojektledarna har inte genomfört någon intressentanalys i enlighet uppsatsens teori men har en stor medvetenhet om sina intressenter. Kraven som projekten ämnar uppfylla formulerades vid projektstart. Projekten har ingen strukturerad tipsplan innehållande de teoretiska projektledningsteknikerna. Båda projekten har i enlighet med teorin strukturerade mötesformer. / The purpose of this essay is to conduct a survey of two projects within two Non-profit organizations: Xola Educare in Contribution To Opportunities and Digniti Omnia in The Church of Sweden. The study intends to investigate how the projects deal with the five selected areas of knowledge: project goals, stakeholders, requirements, timetable and communication. The essay originates from the research question of: How are knowledge areas applied to structuring projects in Non-profit organizations? Our starting point for this study is that there are differences in how newly established and already established Non-profit organizations will apply knowledge areas for the planning of their projects. The study also assumes that practice differs from how the essay's theory describes knowledge areas. The study has been conducted with a qualitative method, with interviews and document analysis as a method of data collection for the purpose of mapping the current structure of the projects based on knowledge areas in relation to the theory. Previous research on projects driven by Non-profit organizations has illustrated a trend of inefficiency and unsuccessful projects rather than successful. The project managers' skills and maturity are revealed to play a key part for their success. Knowledge areas have been used to a certain extent but still have a great development potential and need to be adapted to the context of Non-profit organizations.  The survey shows that newly established Non-profit organizations do not use as many project knowledge areas as a more established Non-profit organization does, and that theory and practice differ in these two Non-profit organizations. The survey also shows that reality differs from the theory through shortcomings in structured methodological approaches. Reality does not always match the theory when individuals and projects are changing; they need to follow one another and its context. The survey and the results of the study show that both projects have formulated project goals in document form. The project has not conducted any stakeholder analysis according to the essay theory but has a high level of awareness about its stakeholders. The requirements that the projects aim to meet were formulated at the start of the project. The projects have no structured time plan containing the theoretical project management techniques. Both the projects have structured forms of meeting according to the theory.

Masters in Public Administration - MPA / Greater capacity for cities to be disaster resilient is needed. Public-private partnership enhances municipal capacity. This study therefore, interrogates the relationship between the City of Cape Town and its disaster relief partners. It is mainly concerned with policy implementation, and as such, investigates disaster management policy implementation in relation to public-private partnerships. The objectivesof the study were to provide a conceptual framework that defines the terms eminent in the practice and study of disaster management, particularly those that characterize public-private partnerships in the City of Cape Town; to explore the legislative mandate that makes provisions for disaster management and the funding of public-private partnerships in municipalities; to document the current practice of public-private partnerships in the City of Cape Town; to highlight noted challenges in the partnership and where necessary, recommend alternative policy implementation options for enhanced partnership sustainable capacity for disaster relief. The researcher deemed it expedient to utilize the qualitative method for the purposes of the adeptness it affords in expediting malleable, arduous investigation in engaging with the phenomena that “unfold[s] in real-world situations.” As far as the findings of this study are concerned, the public-private partnership of the City of Cape Town with its disaster relief partners is a successful one. It is effective in bringing the much needed awareness and relief to devastated communities. There are four main challenges that impact on this disaster relief partnership have been realized by this study. These namely are the delays in the reimbursement process, the constant change of government personnel dealing with relief partners, absence of a disaster relief official on the sites of distress and unsubsidized expenses incurred by the relief partners. Having realized these challenges, the study makes policy implementation recommendations.

The corruption and the fight against it falls among very frequently discussed topics appearing on the front pages of media, also this phenomenon is currently being intensively discussed and plays an ever increasing role in the civil society as well. Recently, the civil society has shown a new trend which manifests itself in the birth of new anti-corruption organizations, new projects and other activities. Because of all the reasons, the paper deals with the anti-corruption non-governmental organizations (NGO's) and their activities in the Czech Republic. The text is divided into four chapters constituting two parts having two chapters each. The first part contains a summary of theoretical knowledge, the first chapter describes the non-profit sector and NGO's activities theory, the second chapter summarizes the basic theoretical information about the corruption phenomenon. The second part focuses on the description of the anti-corruption organizations, employs the theoretical knowledge and provides an analysis of the anti-corruption NGOs. The third chapter describes particular organizations, analyzes their activities and, based on some common characteristics recognized, outlines the division of the organizations into several groups. The fourth chapter contains an analysis on cooperating between different anti-corruption NGOs and handles a case study of a so called Pankrácká výzva(Pankrácká challenge).

Denna studie behandlar ideella organisationer inom den svenska ideella sektorn samt deras prioriteringar av val i marknadsföring i form av marknadsföringskanaler och marknadsföringsmetoder. Ideella organisationer bedriver verksamhet utan vinstsyfte och har ofta som mål att sprida ett budskap, en vision, ett uppdrag eller att hjälpa till i olika sammanhang. På detta vis skiljer de sig ofta ganska mycket från mer kommersiella organisationerna. Utan att lägga resurser på insamlingskostnader, däribland marknadsföring, så når ideella organisationer inte ut till givare, vilket innebär mindre likvida medel till ändamålet. Det finns därför en avvägning att göra i hur mycket som ska fördelas åt marknadsföringen inom en ideell organisation eftersom målet är att kostnaderna ska hållas till ett minimum och att merparten av insamlade medel ska nå ändamålet. Teorierna som behandlas i denna studie är NPO Marketing mix, som är en variant av den klassiska Marketing mix modellen, anpassad för ideella verksamheter. SOEP-modellen som är en variant av den klassiska PESO-modellen samt ICT: capacity and barriers, som behandlar olika typer av barriärer som ofta förekommer hos ideella verksamheter. Dessa teorier ligger till grund för hur empirin har analyserats och har hjälpt till att besvara frågeställningen. Metoden är av en kvantitativ ansats med en tvärsnittsdesign där enkäter samlats in från 112 ideella organisationer av totalt 431 aktiva organisationer, alla med en 90-konto stämpel.  Slutsatsen som denna studie kommit fram till är att delad media är det primära kanalvalet bland ideella organisationer på den svenska ideella marknaden. Anledningen till detta beror främst på att resurser i form av pengar och personal anses som den största barriären för ideella verksamheter. Det var även tydligt att syftet med organisationen var den primära faktorn till varför ideella organisationer upplever att givare fortsätter att donera. Trots detta kunde det konstateras att relationen med givarna också är en essentiell faktor som bidrar till donationer. Denna studie visar således på att 25 %-taket som Svensk Insamlingskontroll satt upp inte upplevs som ett hinder för de flesta ideella verksamheter då dessa lär sig att anpassa sig utefter de restriktioner som finns. Slutligen kan denna studie bekräfta, likt tidigare studier kring detta ämne, att marknadsföringsmetoderna SNS och WOM är de mest populära bland ideella organisationer. / This thesis sets out to analyse non-profit organizations, operating within the Swedish non-profit sector, whom are prioritizing various forms of marketing channels and marketing methods to capitalize on monetary, as well as profitable gains. Non-profit entities are ultimately driven, without a definitive end goal, to maximise financial yield for their own economic progression. Instead, non-profits presently serve purposes of spreading an often positive message, a revolutionary vision or simply that they aim to achieve a goal in which areas of need are attended to, nurtured and re-fulfilled. Without allocating resources to the objective of monetary collection, such as differing marketing avenues, non-profit organisations cannot expect to reach and affect their supporters to act on their behalf (donation or volunteering). This creates a demand within the non-profit sector to balance face value costs and assemble trade-offs when choosing to engage in marketing activities, seeing as their final goal, as established, is to provide as much financial support to aid selected areas of need. The theories used in this thesis include the NPO Marketing mix, which is a variant of the classical Marketing mix model, customized specifically to fit non-profit organizations. In addition to this is the SOEP-model, which originates from the PESO-model, and is a rearranged order of how one prioritizes media types and content to suit the non-profit sector. Finally there is ICT; capacity and barriers, which includes different kinds of barriers and obstacles that occur in the non-profit sector. These theories are fundamental for how the empirical data has been analysed and how the issue, in this thesis, has been addressed. The method in which this thesis has been conducted is that of a quantitative survey design, in which 112 surveys were collected from a total of 431 non-profit organizations within the Swedish non-profit sector, all with the “90-konto” label.  The conclusion that this thesis came to was that shared media is the primary channel choice among non-profit organizations within the Swedish non-profit market. The reasoning behind this is mainly due to the fact that resources, in the form of capital and manpower, are considered as the biggest barrier for Swedish non-profits when pursuing marketing activities. It was also clear that the organization's sole purpose was the primary factor for why non-profit organizations feel that donors continue to donate. Despite this, it could be stated that the relationship with such donors is also an essential factor which contributes to donations, since it is the initial step in building trust and constructive recognition. This study thus shows that the 25%-ceiling set by the Swedish fundraising control is not perceived as an obstacle for most non-profit activities as they have learnt to adapt to the existing restrictions. Finally, this study can confirm, like previous studies on this topic, that the SNS and WOM marketing methods are the most popular among non-profit organizations.

This diploma thesis deals with corporate volunteering from the perspective of non-profit organizations. The aim was to get practical experience from non-profit organizations that can be used by other non-profit organizations and companies to make more effective partnerships. The experience has been modified through in-depth interviews with representatives of eight non-profit organizations. Non-profit organizations are mostly positive about corporate volunteering experiences according to the interviews which were made. The empirical part of the work presents specific experience of organizations and summarizes benefits and negative corporate volunteering from their point of view. At the end of the thesis I summarize lessons gained from all interviews that can serve as recommendations for non-profit organizations and companies.

Recently in the Czech Republic, more attention has been focused on the social responsibility of companies. Companies become members of professional platforms, in which they gain and deepen their knowledge. The vital part of CSR is cooperation within the civil sector. The goal of this thesis is to focus on this cooperation within the Czech environment. For my own research I have been using the typology of the authors Wymer and Samu, who look at different ways of management and the benefits gained from different types of cooperation. I compare and find differences in this typology through analysis of documents and questionnaires of companies active in professional platforms. The cooperation established between companies and NGOs is different in the case of agreements on the use of the logo and the name of non-profit organizations, sponsorship, joint issue promotion and corporate philanthropy, both greater involvements of the non-profit sector, and given benefits.

The Diploma thesis deals with the possible strategies that non-profit organizations can use for the establishment of a social enterprise. These strategies were designed on various relationship models non-profit and social enterprise can have. These models are different in the extent to which social enterprises and non-profit organizations share social and economic activities. These models and also possible motivations of non-profit organizations, which lead to the establishment of a social enterprise are described in the theoretical section. In the practical part, these models are applied to the decision-making process of non-profit organization Life 90, z. ú., which is planning to establish a social enterprise. is evaluated considering its pros and cons from the point of view of non-profit organisations.. These findings and each model and its applicability for Czech non-profit organizations were evaluated as a result of my thesis.
