Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-governmental organisations have become the new hope of development cooperation. Criticism of official and multi-lateral development assistance in mounting. After more than for decades of international cooperation, there is more poverty in the Third World (with the exception of a few countries) than ever before. It has become clear that existing instruments cannot bring about change. Even the large donor organisations doubt their own ability to solve problems and find their doubts confirmed by internal evaluations. What led to this state of affairs, and is there reason to hope that the NGOs can do a better job?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sustainable Livelihoods Framework (SLF) has slowly emerged over the last twenty years as a response to a call for more sustainable development and effective steps toward poverty alleviation. SLF emphasizes the importance of a sustainable livelihood, using the resources to which one has access, and recognizing the vulnerabilities, policy, and other forces that may affect livelihood security, while striving to achieve the outcomes local people seek. This framework has been applied amply to poverty reduction efforts in Africa and Asia, but very llittle of it has been seen in Latin America. NGOs play a crucial role in implementing and utilizing the framework in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals in poverty reduction as laid out by the UN. This thesis analyzes rural development NGOs' goals, principles and methodologies in Peru, comparing them to SLF for similarities and differences in current approaches. Using a three phase process of individual interviews, a presentation on SLF, and follow-up group interviews for each of 12 NGOs, data was collected on current practices and NGO opinion of the possibilities of utility of the framework in their work of poverty reduction in Peru, as well as their perception on donor agency influence on their projects and methodologies. The study found that NGOs in Peru are using many elements of SLF, including the goals, principles, and capitals component. These elements are present in the NGOs, but are not being applied as holistically as the framework suggests. Methodologies differ in that SLF focuses on analysis, while the NGOs tend to focus on technology transfer. Donors do have influence on methods and projects, and it would be beneficial for donors to contribute to NGO learning of SLF. Overall, NGOs expressed interest in learning more about SLF for possible implementation, and stated it would be useful for their work in poverty reduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been considerable interest in recent years in the abil ty of non-governmental organizations to work with the rural poor in developing countries in order to improve their quality of life and economic status through the provision of credit, skills training, and other inputs for income-generation programmes. This book brings together the results of sixteen evaluations in four countries (Bangladesh, India, Uganda and Zimbabwe) to provide a detailed assessment of the contribution that NGOs make to rural poverty alleviation. The results indicate that NGO projects are successful when they build in a high degree of participation, when the staff are committed to the goals of the project, and when they are managed by strong and competent leaders. Many of the projects studied contributed to increases in income and welfare. Programmes designed to provide economic benefits also proved effective in improving the social status of the poor. However, not all projects were successful, contrary to received wisdom about the efficacy of NGO interventions. Many failed to reach the very poorest, most were costly to implement, and few of the projects demonstrated an ability to continue once external funding was withdrawn. These findings provide strong support for viewing NGOs as a mechanism for helping to reduce rural poverty, but also demonstrate that many of the interventions are isolated or one-off. The impact of NGOs could be heightened by increasing the size of the intervention, encouraging greater cooperation among NGOs, and by fostering closer co-operation with governments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This scoping study has two principle objectives. It provides a summary of current poverty reduction strategies of US and UK-based international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) with a special emphasis on the underlying frameworks that form the basis of their development interventions. Secondly, the study identifyes the applicability of an asset accumulation framework to prevailing programmatic and advocacy strategies for poverty reduction employed by INGOs. After an initial desk review of background materials, a sample group of 21 INGOs was finalized based on seven selection criteria. These relate both to the substantive focus of each organization as well as to institutional factors, and were developed in order to achieve the greatest diversity possible in the sample. The criteria were: mission focus; stated or known analytical approaches to poverty - termed poverty frameworks in this paper; relationship to the field; length of time in operation; size of revenues; primary funding sources; and organizational structure. A questionnaire was developed for use in the final research phase in which 34 staff from 7 UK-based and 14 U.S.-based INGOs were interviewed. The study assesses five possible determinants of INGO poverty approaches. The first determinant is history - both organizational and the broader historical forces at work in the world. Interviews suggest that history is perhaps a stronger factor in shaping an organization's poverty strategy than mission, which appears to have only a partial connection with strategy. Current development theory seems to have a tenuous and weak impact on the strategic framework. This intellectual determinant expresses itself more effectively indirectly through funders' interests, which had a definite impact on poverty reduction strategy. Not surprisingly, the research found that funding sources were influential, particularly the US government and foundations. Organizational structure, the last determinant investigated, seems to have an unclear and complicated relationship to INGO poverty frameworks and strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication offers a framework for the empowerment of people living in poverty throughout the world that concentrates on increasing people's freedom of choice and action to shape their own lives. Based on analysis of practical experiences, the book identifies four key elements to support empowerment: information, inclusion and participation, improved accountability and local organisational capacity. This framework is then applied to five areas of action to improve development effectiveness: provision of basic services, improved local governance, improved national governance, pro-poor market development, and access to justice and legal aid. It also offers twenty 'tools and practices' which concentrate on a wide-range of topics to support the empowerment of the poor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous research suggests that creative collaborations with non-traditional chain members such as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) could pave the way for making supply chains sustainable. In extant research, NGOs help focal firms achieve their goals in a more sustainable manner. However, NGOs, regulators and other non-profits have objectives and supply chains of their own, something previous research has generally overlooked. This research addresses this point by studying how NGOs undertake socially sustainable supply chain practices in contexts in which synergies between social and economic performance were not initially foreseen. The research inductively builds a theoretical framework that explains how NGOs use supplier development (SD) programs to alleviate poverty. The framework posits that the NGO-resources of knowledge for localizing SD programs and a bridging capability are critical for designing and setting up the SD program. The NGO resources are complimented by the buying firm-resources of knowledge transfer routines, logistical resources, and relational contracting based on procedural fairness that are critical to carry out the transactions and protect the value in the buyer-supplier relationship. NGO resources and buying firm-resources are inter-temporal complements that enhance a supply chain's social sustainability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an excellent framework to analyse the experience of a wide variety of successful initiatives across the world and draws attention to critical issues that practitioners need to think about when designing poverty reduction interventions and scaling up. Bill Tod, Regional MDG Adviser, SNV Asia With its wide regional coverage, and frank discussions of issues and problems encountered in designing projects that directly tackle poverty, this will be a very useful reference book for NGOs, INGOs, and also for multilateral institutions. Johanna Boestel, Country Economist, Asian Development Bank, Sri Lanka Resident Mission We are now at the midpoint for achieving the Millennium Development Goals and the objective of halving poverty by 2015. Despite commendable efforts and much progress, up to 750 million people are still living in absolute poverty. To lift these people out of poverty, macro-economic policies must be complemented by targeted and local level poverty reduction. This book looks at twenty of the most innovative case studies of poverty reduction and Millennium Development Goal localization from fifteen countries - Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Nepal, Paraguay, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam - covering diverse issues ranging from housing and tourism to socio-economic empowerment of women, health insurance and markets for livestock produce. Many of the cases started as small scale interventions by NGOs, donors or government pilots but now they are being scaled up to form part of national policy or replicated across their respective countries. Yet why do some work while others do not? What are the stumbling blocks and how can they be overcome? And what lessons and principles are there for replicating and scaling up poverty reduction initiatives worldwide? This book tackles these questions and more, and presents a wealth of knowledge, evidence and ideas for all practitioners and researchers working to reduce poverty at the local level while aiming to achieve a global impact.

This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poverty is still a big challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa and the world at large, with children and women being the highest vulnerable. Many people die every day of hunger yet there is sufficient quantity of food in the World to feed everyone. This poses a big problem because the poor are unable to afford their basic needs. With a situation of this sort, international Organizations like the United Nations, the World Bank, governments and Non-Governmental Organizations are putting in great efforts to curb its prevalence. This work examines specifically, the role the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) plays in alleviating poverty in Tombel Sub-Division in Cameroon. Through the use of questionnaires and interview guides, findings revealed that WWF is encouraging various livelihood activities and many are benefiting in financial and material terms, which has gone a long way to improve the economic life of the people and thus help in alleviating poverty. Some policy implications include increasing the funds allocated to various projects in order to facilitate Community-Based Organizations and encouraging governments to take poverty reduction as a primary development agenda.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite decades of development efforts, led by governmental and non-profit organizations, the issue of poverty prevails, with approximately 1.4 billion people living in extreme poverty. As a result of the failure of governmental and non-governmental actors to successfully address poverty single-handedly, the development community has turned its eyes towards the private sector, in particular on Multi-National Corporations (MNCs), as an additional contributing force. To enhance understanding within the research field of business and poverty, this thesis aims at investigating the potential and actual contributions of the private sector, in general, and MNCs, in particular, with regard to poverty alleviation. In order to address this research aim, in the theoretical part of this thesis the existing literature on the potential contributions of distinct business approaches to poverty alleviation is reviewed. Hereby, six business approaches – being Business-as-Usual, Corporate Philanthropy, Microfinance, Bottom of the Pyramid, Social Entrepreneurship and Cross-Sector Partnerships – as well as their variations and combination possibilities are investigated. This analysis leads to a classification of company’s Poverty Alleviation Portfolio Approaches. The examination of the possible contribution of MNCs in theory is in turn complemented by the practical part of this thesis which studies the actual poverty-related initiatives undertaken by Fortune’s global 100 firms in practice. Hereby, data is gathered on these 100 MNCs via a content analysis of company websites and Corporate Social Responsibility reports. Building upon the classification framework developed in the theoretical part, the Poverty Alleviation Portfolio Approaches of these MNCs are ultimately classified as inactive, reactive, active or proactive.
