Aid Evaluator (AID-E)

 

 

Aid E began as a concept in 2005. It is a one woman driven project with huge ambitions and little actual impact. In 2005 there was a lot of concern about aid effectiveness. Both donor countries and individuals had heard so much about mismanaged aid projects and corruption; that beneficiaries (people needing assistance stood to loos a lot). The lack of information about the progress of aid, and what's ahead meant that good results rarely made the headlines and not much has changed. There is still oversight or insight into what goes on and Aid-E believes it is possible, if people everywhere help to map all the efforts so that it is possible for researchers to evaluate, and for donors and practitioners to prioritise the must needed and most effective practices.

 

 

Actions

• Facilitates how to look for help on-line (by making lists and trying to find the organizations that work locally in areas and topics.
• Facilitates the search for aid projets to support by individuals (by providing relevant information about organisations and what they do and listing them in topics and areas, so that people can pick based on their personal priorities).
• Facilitates general insight and oversight for NGOs and researches that wish to cooperate or just get a more full perspective on the progress of development.

 

Purpose

• To create insight and oversight of development aid, so that locals can find the available aid and so so that non-locals can see the good initiatives, analyze and prioritize, based on personal criterias.
