Frank Julie and Associates is a community development consultancy focused on strengthening the leadership and management capacity of NGOs/CBO to assist them to deliver on their developmental mandate. We operate all over Southern- and East Africa and pursue three strategies in the execution of our mission namely, collaborative learning, continuous support and follow up and strategic communication through the dissemination of relevant information. 

"Thank you very much for the great work that you are doing for the NPOS.  Yes! A section of this globe if not the whole globe know the great work that you are doing for the NPOs and we are very grateful for this great contribution and efforts  of showing NPOs  some direction towards sustainability." (Margaret Kisilu - Pelum, Kenya)

"Elbert Hubbard wrote – “Art is the beautiful way of doing anything”. Frank Julie’s Leadership Seminar is ‘Art’ for that very reason. I found his content stimulating and intensely practical – a by-product of his own successful, ‘hands-on’ background. As a fellow Trainer, I applaud his easy, “nobody-gets-hurt”, fully participatory presentation. Visibly – Frank is driven by his love for people, which accounts for his passion to share his wealth of knowledge and empirical experience..." (Len Stevens – Author/Presenter – the “ãGRID Training Method” - Cape Town)

"Dear Frank
I want to acknowledge, with appreciation, respect and admiration, the work that you are doing to change the face of this country and the continent of Africa. You have invested your time and resources for scores of years to build the capacities of civil society organisations to effectively help communities develop themselves. This is a huge sacrifice which does not only demand commitment ...but also selflessness, long suffering and a huge compassion as well as love for the human race. Stay abundantly blessed" (Themba Phiri - Youth for Christ, Johannesburg)

"...this book is invaluable as it is rare to have such a work written for South African civil society by a South African.Frank Julie explains what leadership and management are and clearly defines the difference between the two. Covering everything from the roles and responsibilities of leaders to strategic fundraising and donor reporting, this book is highly recommended." Jill Ritchie (Author of more than 25 books on non-profit fundrasing amongst others "Fundraising in the New Millenium")

"The question is not who are the leaders, the question Frank asks is … who are we who make `them’ ours? Thank you, Frank, for the gift of critical discomfort. I hope it passes from hand to hand, like a hot potato, and when it cools, we’ll eat together." (Professor Daniel Moshenberg, Director, Women’s Studies Program, George Washington University, Washington, DC, USA)
