Making Aid Work Better
Summary: Bill Gates once said that he hoped 'we can stop discussing whether aid works, and spend more time talking about how it can work better.' Here at Aid Works, we couldn't agree more. Every time we work with a client, we ask them if we can make a bitesized podcast about the project, pro-bono, which can be shared with the general public. This way, the lessons learned can be shared and used by international development professionals, donors, beneficiaries and other interested stakeholders. We also share our musings on how aid can work better. Get yourself a cup of tea, have a listen, and if you want to learn more, we will signpost you to the relevant website or project report. Your feedback is always welcome.
