humanitarian aid to emerging economy 01 10
DESCRIPTION
A Presentation based on a proposal entitled "A Private Enterprise Solution: Humanitarian Aid to Emerging Economy"TRANSCRIPT
A Private Enterprise Approach
Current Situation Solution Costs Conclusion
NGOs often compete with donors generally more sympathetic to emergencies than longer-term aid and development leading to wide divergence in levels of funding (Oloruntoba & Gray, 2006).
4 in 10 said global expansion is integral to their growth strategy, while one third stated that leadership is focused on global expansion
The majority of those surveyed plan to increase their global presence over the next five years
Half of respondents said that global expansion does not impact their U.S. employee base
