The Changing Ecosystem of Philanthropies in International Development

The Changing Ecosystem of Philanthropies in International Development

2012-07-01

Institute of Development Studies (IDS);

A study indicating that the changes in the ecosystem of philanthropies in international development are the result of adaptation to global pressures that independently influence international development practices and philanthropic practice, combined with local practices. These global pressures come from a number of sources: increasing economic inequality that comes with increasing economic growth; a shift to more holistic ideas of development; a decrease in government and bilateral aid from traditional donor countries; and the emergence of aid funding and transfer of development practices from the BRICS countries.

This study synthesises existing research on knowledge and learning strategies in development agencies, and draws out eight key questions for comparison, analysis and evaluation of these strategies. The questions fit into the following categories: organisational knowledge, organisational links, organisational contexts and external factors, which together make up a coherent framework for knowledge strategies in development agencies.

Community philanthropy: the missing link between local communities and international development

Community philanthropy: the missing link between local communities and international development

2014-01-01

Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York;

This paper is based on the premise that local populations? engagement in development processes is a key factor to increase chances of sustainable economic and social development. In this context, we present collaboration with community philanthropy organizations as a viable strategy for international development organizations to engage civil society in the advancement and sustainability of development goals. This is done by presenting an overview of the development sector, as well as the added-value of community philanthropy. Then practical lessons and challenges are drawn from stories of different community philanthropy and international development organizations that have experience working together.

In order to enable more coordination between these various initiatives, FSG and the Smallholder Coalition have catalogued and analyzed $12 billion in funding from 29 donors representing more than 1,700 smallholder-focused projects active from 2009 onwards. Our intention with this analysis is to provide the community of donors, corporations, networks, NGOs, and governments involved with smallholder development with a first-of-its-kind snapshot of the state of smallholder funding flow trends.

An Innovative Model for International Development and Poverty Alleviation

An Innovative Model for International Development and Poverty Alleviation

2017-12-21

Carsey School of Public Policy at The University of New Hampshire;

As outlined in the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, there is an urgent need for mechanisms that effectively scale proven interventions for tackling some of humanity's toughest challenges (United Nations 2015). While there are exemplary models that have proven to be highly effective, there are relatively few examples that have achieved large-scale replication.

House of Commons: International Development Committee: Private Foundations: Thirteenth Report of Session 2010-12

House of Commons: International Development Committee: Private Foundations: Thirteenth Report of Session 2010-12

2012-01-11

International Development Committee, House of Commons;

The House of Commons began an inquiry into the work of private foundations in July 2011. It decided to focus on foundations specifically, rather than wider philanthropic flows (e.g. corporate giving). Key issues that were explored included: the role of foundations in development; their relations with DFID and multilateral organisations, including the effectiveness of co-ordination and the avoidance of duplication; and their accountability. The House of Commons also wished briefly to examine the role and influence of high profile advocates on international development, whether philanthropists such as Bill Gates and George Soros, or celebrities including pop singers and actors.

Fit for the Future? Development trends and the role of international NGOs

Fit for the Future? Development trends and the role of international NGOs

2015-06-09

Oxfam GB;

How is our understanding of development changing? What are the implications of these changes, whether practical or conceptual, for the future role of international non-government organizations (NGOs)?This short paper summarizes the main global trends in international development and then examines some pressing questions for international NGOs. It highlights the folly of simple, linear interventions and the merits of alternative approaches, such as bringing together stakeholders to find joint solutions (convening and brokering), or rapid iteration based on fast feedback and adaptation.For Oxfam, this new thinking would mean relinquishing a command-and-control approach across all aspects of its work in favour of embracing a systems approach.

Why Shrinking Civil Society Space Matters in International Development and Humanitarian Action

Why Shrinking Civil Society Space Matters in International Development and Humanitarian Action

2017-11-01

European Foundation Centre (EFC);

Closing civil society space is a growing trend, impacting civic actors in countries throughout the world. This paper examines how the trend effects development funders and actors, and how they are responding. Questions explored include: what are funders doing to engage around re-opening space for civil society? How are they adapting? What are the impacts of the development community's approach to civil society as a whole? The European Foundation Centre and the Funders' Initiative for Civil Society have come together to develop better insight into these questions and to increase awareness of the threats to civil society.

Meeting the Development and Health Needs of 215 Million Women: U.S. International Family Planning Goals

Meeting the Development and Health Needs of 215 Million Women: U.S. International Family Planning Goals

2010-04-01

Population Action International;

U.S. international family planning assistance is one of the great success stories in the history of U.S. development assistance. In 2007, 56.5 million women in the developing world were using modern contraception as a direct result of U.S. support. Many millions more have benefited indirectly from service improvements resulting from the guidance and technical expertise of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Unfortunately a large and growing need for family planning remains in many developing nations. While the world population continues to grow by 79 million people annually, 215 million women in developing countries seek to postpone childbearing, space births, or stop having children, but are not using a modern method of contraception. The United States can lead international efforts to meet the unmet need for family planning by appropriating $1 billion annually. The $1 billion figure is the U.S. fair share of developed country contributions necessary to address unmet need in the developing world and would also fulfill our historic commitments to the U.N. Millennium Development Goals.
