Cons
1. Highly political organisation 2. Most country leadership teams do not understand feminist principles and thus do not integrate it within their work with staff, reserving it for only beneficiaries of projects and programmes. 3. Heavy reliance on donor funding, which is dwindling due to the global economic crisis. 4. Extremely bureaucratic, with systems and policies sometimes being very far removed and slightly inhumane. 5. Lack of room for growth and elevation within your role. Depending on what department you're in, you can be trapped in the same role with no progression. 6. Some Country Management Teams do not share information from the global team that promote staff empowerment, as they do not want staff empowered
