why development aid is not working
DESCRIPTION
Ignite presentation for Marketing class at Presidio Graduate School: Over the last 60 years $1 Trillion has been spent on development-related projects. But development aid was not successful, for example, in reducing the number of people suffering from hunger. Instead of spending more and more money on large-scale development projects, we should learn from the failed aid-approach and promote local and community based solutions that respect the poor and their skills and assets.TRANSCRIPT
