Informal Governance and Organizational Success: The Effects of Non-Compliance among Lima’s Street Vending Organizations

By on January 01, 2007

This highly topical volume, with contributions from leading experts in the field, explores a variety of questions about membership based organizations of the poor. Analyzing their success and failure and the internal and external factors that play a part, it uses studies from both developed and developing countries. Put together by a group of prestigious editors, the contributors address a range of questions, including:

  • What structures and activities characterize MBOPs?
  • What is meant by success and what factors account for success?
  • What are the internal (governance structure and leadership) and external (policy environment) factors that account for success?
  • Are these factors replicable across countries or even within countries?
  • What are the constraints to successful MBOPs expanding, or to new ones being formed?
  • What sort of policy environment enables the success of MBOPs and the formation of successful MBOPs?
  • What types of institutional reforms are needed to ensure the representation of the poor through their own MBOs?

WIEGO's Sally Roever's chapter explores how non-compliance with regulations impacts street vendors in Lima, Peru.
