Common Questions

GiveWell's mission is to find outstanding giving opportunities and publish the full details of our analysis to help donors decide where to give. GiveWell is focused on finding a small number of outstanding giving opportunities, not on reviewing as many charities — or as many causes — as possible. Historically, we have primarily focused on charities working in developing countries. We have not covered charitable causes like the arts, animals, disease-specific research organizations (e.g., Susan G. DATOVÁ ŽURNALISTIKA. Resources. Jak (málo) Česko pomáhá chudým zemím.

AfricaCan End Poverty

People are poor and hail from tribes and clans. They live in basic shelters in remote villages, with no running water or electricity, and no access to clinics. Subsisting on seasonal work, hunting and fishing to stock up food for the lean months, they worship nature's beauty. How did Sierra Leone provide free health care? On April 27, 2010, Sierra Leone started free health care for pregnant women, new mothers, and young children.

How did Sierra Leone provide free health care?

John Donnelly takes an in-depth look at how the war-torn nation managed it. At a dinner during the European Development Days events in Stockholm, Sweden, in October, 2009, Mary Robinson, the former President of Ireland, turned to the gentleman sitting next to her. He was President Ernest Bai Koroma of Sierra Leone. The gathering was full of chatter about the emerging global financial crisis and its effect on aid to countries like Sierra Leone, but Robinson, had something else on her mind. Sierra Leone was one of five countries supported by a programme that she had helped to start called the Ministerial Leadership Initiative for Global Health, and she wanted to talk about the country's health system.

Copy of What place does aid and trade play in a nation's development by Yan Tan on Prezi. CBC: Dambisa Moyo on her vision for Africa & what's wrong with aid. Dambisa Moyo: When the markets recover, Africa must be ready. Since the publication of my book Dead Aid: Why Aid is Not Working and How there is Another Way for Africa (Penguin Press) earlier this month, I have received a number of messages both for and against my thesis that aid to Africa has failed, and that an engagement with the markets is the only way to deliver long-term growth and reduce poverty.

Dambisa Moyo: When the markets recover, Africa must be ready

Perhaps the most consistent argument against the book is that it was written before the credit crisis, so the main alternatives to aid offered in the book – trade, foreign direct investment and assessing the capital markets by issuing bonds – are no longer valid. However, to adopt this view demonstrates a complete misunderstanding of the global market place.

Rather than being an excuse for yet another round of ineffective aid flows, the credit crisis is a unique opportunity for African and international policymakers to change their staid way of thinking about financing Africa's economic development. Billions In Aid Wasted In Afghanistan? Can aid donors help support LGBT rights in developing countries? Why NGOs need to admit failure. In 2008 a brave non-profit organisation, Engineers Without Borders (EWB) Canada, decided it was time to start sharing their failures so that the non-profit sector could learn from them.

Why NGOs need to admit failure

They began publishing an annual Failure Report, and in 2011 we were excited to hear about how this had transpired in an exciting TED Talk by David Damberger, an engineer who worked for EWB. David’s presentation begins with the image of a Malawian man named Anok. Anok is pictured next to a donated water tap, signifying the ‘success’ of a typical water development project. What the average person doesn’t know is that the tap not only stopped working soon after the photograph was taken- it was also a model that some non-profits had identified as not being sustainable ten years earlier. Clearly this failure could have been avoided by sharing lessons with one another. Granta 92: The View from Africa. This article was originally published in Granta 92.

Rusty Radiator Awards. Aid effectiveness. Historical background[edit] The international aid system was born out of the ruins of the Second World War, when the United States used their aid funds to help rebuild Europe. The system came of age during the Cold War era from the 1960s to the 1980s. During this time, foreign aid was often used to support client states in the developing world. Even though funds were generally better used in countries that were well governed, they were instead directed toward allies.

After the end of the Cold War, the declared focus of official aid began to move further towards the alleviation of poverty and the promotion of development.
