Professional Skills And Qualities Required In Social Work Profession: An Ngo Perspective

Abstract

NGOs are committed to achieving their objectives and coming up with innovative solutions to address the needs of the developing world. Since the pandemic struck the entire world two years ago, the role has shifted to become more of a force for profound social change, which has been described as the new framework for leadership. The ability to innovate, create, solve problems, and work collaboratively through horizontal leadership with teams and individuals throughout the organisation are the key competencies. Global skills and competencies gap mapping processes have identified these skills and competencies. In light of the aforementioned, the current study aims to identify the effective abilities and characteristics of the social work profession in an NGO setting as well as the contribution of fieldwork practice to the development of these attributes.
