Leadership Opportunities: Often taking on leadership roles and responsibilities early in your career, enhancing your professional experience and growth.

3. Networking
Building Connections: Establishing connections with other NGOs, governmental bodies, international organizations, and community leaders.
Collaboration: Working with diverse groups of people, fostering a rich professional network that can be valuable for future career opportunities.

4. Cultural Exposure
Understanding Diversity: Engaging with different cultures, traditions, and communities within Nigeria, enriching your cultural awareness and sensitivity and building strong relationships with local communities, enhancing your understanding of local issues and dynamics.

5. Job Satisfaction
Meaningful Work: Experiencing a high level of job satisfaction from contributing to meaningful and impactful work.
Personal Fulfillment: Feeling a sense of purpose and fulfillment from helping others and making a difference in society.

12. Personal Development
Resilience and Adaptability: Developing personal qualities such as resilience, adaptability, and empathy through working in challenging and diverse environments.
Global Citizenship: Cultivating a sense of global citizenship and a deepened understanding of global issues and interconnectedness.


Drawbacks:

1. Limited Financial Resources
Low Salaries: Some NGO salaries are often lower compared to the private sector, which can be a significant disadvantage for individuals seeking higher compensation. For instance, some banks pay more than some NGOs in Nigeria.
Unfair Salary structure: Foreign folks may earn more than their fellow local folks of same cadre.
Funding Uncertainty: Dependence on grants and donations can lead to financial instability and uncertainty about job security.

2. High Workload and Stress
Long Hours: The demanding nature of NGO work can require long hours and extended periods of intense activity, particularly during project deadlines or crises.

Poor work-life balance: Some NGO's may require you working very long hours, handling a lot of overwhelming tasks, and dealing with emotionally tough situations. Frequent travel and limited resources can add to the stress, leading to less time for personal life and potentially affecting one's health.

3. Resource Constraints
Limited Infrastructure: Many NGOs operate with limited resources and infrastructure especially locally established ones, which can make it difficult to achieve goals and implement projects effectively.
Scarcity of Equipment: Working with outdated or insufficient equipment and software can hinder productivity and project execution. eg. NGOs still using isolated and manual data entry systems instead of transiting to an ERP system.

4. Bureaucratic Challenges
Internal Politics: Navigating internal politics is also a challenge. In some offices, you may need to be in the good books of a superior to enjoy the system.
Complex Reporting Requirements: The need for detailed reporting to donors and regulatory bodies can add to the administrative burden or the ambiguity of joggling various approval levels for one activity.

5. Limited Career Advancement
Flat Organizational Structure: Many NGOs have a flat organizational structure, offering limited opportunities for career advancement and promotion, especially to local employees. A foreigner with less experience may be brought in to lead a local team with more qualifications and years of experience.
Niche Skill Set: The skills and experience gained in the NGO sector may not always be easily transferable to other industries, potentially limiting career mobility, especially in a country like Nigeria with poor working standards.

6. Operational Challenges
Logistical Issues: High-security measures are taken to protect foreign workers more than the locals.

7. Cultural and Social Barriers
Cultural Sensitivity: Navigating cultural differences and ensuring culturally sensitive approaches can be challenging for instance, it is seen as quite normal for a white colleague to walk into an office with other people and not offer any form of greeting but seen as highly disrespectful when this is done by a local.
