Local Salary Surveys for the NGO Community (LiNGO)
At last, a solution to a difficult problem…
Know the INGO Reward Practice in up to 140 Countries
Recognizing the need for local labor market intelligence for non-governmental (NGOs), Birches Group, InsideNGO, ORC Worldwide, and People In Aid, collaborated with an advisory group of leading INGOs, to pilot the LiNGO Survey in 2008. We now are pleased to announce that LiNGO went global in 2009 and is coming to a location near you.
Do you need to see how your organization’s jobs, salaries, and structure compare to your peer organizations in the field? Do you want data from one comprehensive survey that covers multiple job roles? Looking to compare your market position across country lines?
Now's your chance. The LiNGO Survey pilot was so successful in 2008 that it’s expanding to include up to 140 countries.

Why participate?
A quick, easy, and informative survey with one-on-one benchmarking through our surveyors.
- A unique opportunity: This initiative brings together a global array of INGOs to collect data for host country national positions in a number of countries, using a consistent methodology across geographical divides.
- No benchmarking or complicated data forms for your completion: You don’t need to learn new benchmark roles or ensure you match correctly. The Birches Group staff will conduct a short interview (60 to 90 minutes) with a local representative and match your positions for you. Your representative will be asked to provide average salaries and salary structure for each role.
- The survey is backed by well-known groups you trust. The survey has been shaped by a dedicated charter member group of INGOs based in Europe, the U.S., and Asia-Pacific region, as well as People In Aid and InsideNGO. In addition, more than 90 organizations participated in the 2008 survey—and we’re confident participation will be more robust in 2009/2010.
