description The role of the performance management system (PMS) in non-governmental organisations (NGOs) has been argued to be both complex and challenging. Despite considerable research conducted on NGOs, the intent readings on PMS issues surrounding NGOs are currently very limited.

Given the limited literature on PMS, the current research was undertaken to examine one NGO, in terms of the ways it manages its performance to meet various institutional expectations. To be more specific, the research has been conducted to understand and analyse the role of PMS in meeting the lines of accountability (commitments) towards various stakeholders that the NGO wishes to serve.
